1What’s going on in retail? by Simonetta Carbonaro
Cross Cross-Channel Inside Out: The cross-channel organisation
by Chris Jones
The customer demands a seamless cross-channel experience
A cross-channel experience will have many touch-points with your organisation.
omni-channel experience
Cross-channel customers: both opportunity and challenge
First, the good news. Cross-channel customers1:•Spend 3.5 times more than single-channel customers•Purchase across more categories•Shop more frequently•Are more loyal
And then, the challenge. Cross-channel customers:•Are your best customers already. They are yours to lose.•Expect a seamless cross-channel experience. If you don’t offer them all the channels they demand, they will switch to a competitor who does2
•Do you respond with a seamless organisation?
1IDC insights, May 20122see http://redsockmultichannel.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/the-multichannel-halo-effect-faith-or.html
Should your organisation be multiple channel or multi-channel?
Few, if any, retailers have fully Multichannel organisations… yet. But the more seamless the customer experience needed, the more seamless your organisation has to become to deliver it.
Case #1: Assortment – the cross-channel challenge
Internet
Call-centre
Mobile
In-store Kiosk
c20k non-food SKUs in a large store
Over 100k non-food SKUs online
80k SKUs in the full store range
>250k SKUs on Target.com
Cross-channel retailers increasingly offer Endless Aisle concepts on all their channels (including for in-store ordering), meeting customer expectations set by Amazon etc
Case #1: Assortment – impact: jobs become more complex
Endless Aisles - with increased SKU counts – are a simple case of a typical organisation challenge facing the cross-channel retailer. For example, what direction should the buying teams go in?
Option A – I liked 1992
lost sales
lost customers
long-term decline
Option B – 2 teams
simple organisation
planning in silos
competing channels
Option C – 1 team
complex jobs
cross-channel plan
channel synergy
A 1-team across all channels approach is increasingly required for sophisticated retail strategies, placing the right “mix” in each customer channel:
“As we look forward, I think our larger stores will have a bit more food space, a little bit less general merchandise space, a bit more clothing space.”
Philip Clarke, Tesco CEO, October 2012
Case #2: Product Data – a challenge at the foundation of cross-channel retail
What product could be simpler than a loaf of bread?
But a loaf of bread is not so simple: there are over 40 data points describing it here
Customer-descriptive product data management, critically impacting the entire customer experience, is a completely new organisational function.
The benchmark is 25 FTE-minutes per SKU.
Where should this huge, essential, task sit in the organisation?
Case #2: Product Data – impact: adding clicks to traditionally bricks jobs
Suppliers
Pallets
Stock Warehouses
Attributes
Data Warehouses
Two “identical” product flows, from source to sales-channel
Pallets
Attributes
Bricks Channels
Clicks Channels
It is possible to respond to “new” tasks by adding “new” teams, but existing functions often have the key competencies; it just needs extending from bricks to clicks.
Making the Logistics (Supply Chain) team responsible not only for shipping products but for shipping data is one successful example. A Logistics team is already strong at business process design, standards & compliance, supplier relationships, flow management, working with sales channels, just in time delivery…
It maybe looks surprising, but actually is very logical, and a great example of cross-channel organisational thinking
Case #3: Collect in Store, cross-channel differentiator and growth engine
** of eligible General Merchandise sales (i.e. excluding food and impossible items like washing machines and sofas)* John Lewis state that 34% of John Lewis sales are collected in Waitrose Stores! So actually their figure is probably higher in total. Click-and-collect was offered at 97 Waitrose's and 35 John Lewis's
"Our product mix lends itself to a multi-channel offer as customers often want further advice, a demonstration or fitting. Online purchasing patterns reflect this, with 86% of sales on Halfords.com reserved and then collected from a store“ - Halfords
“We are seeing about 34% of those visits translating into additional sales in shop and that number is growing exponentially at the moment. It’s typically or increasingly for purchases that the customer didn’t think they would make. So it is quite outwith [beyond] whatever they were going to collect.” – John Lewis
Customer take-up of click-and-collect is spectacular
Case #3: Collect in Store. Impact: New KPIs and Incentives Required
Whose sale is it anyway?
€Towards my KPIs
Store Manager
WebManager
Cross-channel shopping journeys make it more complex to measure success.Especially for stores, new ways of analysing performance are required, overturning
“traditional” measures that may have been in place for a long time.Channel Conflict must be prevented.
Case #4: Delivery to Home. Cross-channel issues even for pure online?
Subsidy to customer
Pick, pack & ship costs passed on to customer
Standard Shipping Charge
Free shipping on large carts?

Top Cart Abandonment Reasons1
The top reason customers abandon their cart is shipping costs. “No shipping charges” is another reason for the popularity of collect-in-store compared to home delivery.
The trend, seen most clearly in the UK, especially for large articles, is that shipping should be free, or at least subsidised.
1Forrester Research, Cart Abandonment Reasons, 2010
Case #4: Delivery to Home. Impact: new budget relationships
"From 1 April 2011, the Group has reclassified delivery costs from cost of sales to operating expenses to reflect their increasing deployment as a marketing expenditure. Prior year comparatives have been reclassified accordingly.“1
1Asos plc annual report 2011/12
Logistics costs paid for by the Marketing budget!
Other interesting example changes include the Call-Centre being part of the Logistics budget, and Returns/Waste being part of the Call-Centre budget…
Case #5: Cross-channel change: a culture clash?
Creating your cross-channel customer experience demands simultaneously:
The flexibility of websites
The agility of social media
The stability of EPOS
The predictability of Logistics
&
?
Case #5: Cross-channel change. Impact: hybrid methodologies
For example: in IT, Agile and Waterfall approaches are being
blended into methodologies such as Hybrid Agile
Spectators at the Spa Francorchamps F1 Grand Prix will know this can sometimes be a tricky mixture!
Case #6: Cross-channel Customers => A New Store Experience
ROBO-Customers… …Need Digital StoresResearch Online Buy OfflineResearch Offline Buy Online

of customers research products online before buying1
of smart-phone owners use them to research their purchases first
of smart-phone owners use them to research their purchases while in the store
1Pewinternet.org
The Sales Assistant is no longer someone who Transacts. He/She must now Interact.
Case #6: A New Store Experience. Impact: Old Myths Become True!
Old Myth: “Our sales staff are the most knowledgeable people in our business”
Role basis changes from Process to Service
New Reality: The dialogue with a ROBO-customer is a more sophisticated dialogue. It starts from the premise that both parties are much better informed. The use of Process as a substitute for Knowledge becomes less acceptable to customers.
Organisation Impact: Knowledgeable, Service-focussed staff expect flatter structures and a more democratic environment.
From McJobs… to iJobs…
Case #7: A New Store Experience. Impact: Old Myths Become True!
Old Myth: “We treat every customer as an individual”
The ROBO-customer leaves a lot of footsteps…•Browse & search history•Mobile tracking•Social network posts•Loyalty card data•…
…which retailers try to exploit via Big Data
Personalisation strategies
Mobile communication tool… or Big Data tracking device?
Case #7: A New Store Experience. Impact: Retailing Turns Inside Out!
Old Myth: “We treat every customer as an individual”
New Reality: a paradigm shift. Every individual customer will:•In the medium term, “become a part” of the retailer’s organisation•In the longer term, instead of the retailer broadcasting its offer for the customer to find, the customer will broadcast their need; it will become up to the retailer find it
UK Government initiative, aimed at giving consumers access to the data created through their … internet transactions and high street loyalty cards.
“midata will allow consumers greater insight into their everyday consumption and lifestyle habits by using applications and intermediaries to analyse their actual behaviours and thereby empower them to make better spending choices and secure the best deals. “ – UK Consumer Minister
Summary: Seven Organisational Impacts from Cross-Channel
Impact Example
More complex jobs Assortment buying
Clicks in traditionally Bricks jobs Product Data Management
New KPIs and Incentives Ascribing a Click & Collect Sale
Redistribution of budgets Logistics costs as marketing spend
Cultural & Methodology Changes Hybrids e.g. Agile + Waterfall in IT
New Myths: Service not Process New style stores with Tablets not POS
Retailing Turns Inside Out! Midata personalisation
Summary: The reality is a multispeed approach to multichannel organisation

Summary: Seven Impacts… but one Certainty
If your Cross-Channel Strategy does not change the job of every single person in your organisation…
… then you have the wrong Cross-Channel Strategy!

Store vs. warehouse picking - Overview
Makro NL decided to utilise Vianen store to fulfil their General Needs online shop orders
Vianen shares space and employees with “normal” store operation – created warehouse in store
Orders are picked and packed in Vianen and sent via courier to customers
Setup is not new to Makro, most Makro HoReCa delivery operations are set up like this
Setup is unique to General Needs proposition, other eCommerce countries (Romania, Poland, Russia) went for central warehouse solution
Member of Page 95
Store vs. warehouse – Differentiating components
Pick in store Pick in central warehouse
Assortment Limited to store assortment Full central assortment
Stock Cannibalisation risk by offline customers Higher capital expenditure when utilising
multiple stores
More capital expenditure when compared to single store
Space
Available at no additional cost Use of under-utilised stores Order volume limit, replication in
additional store needed
Rent to be paid regardless of utilisation, expensive when low
Handling High cost, store’s not optimised for
picking and packing Up to a third of in-store picking and
packing cost
General
Click & collect possible Shopping experience for offline
customers restricted at high order volumes
Dedicated team with clear allocation of cost and responsibility
Member of Page 96
Store vs. warehouse picking - Outlook
Ideal early phase setup, when expected order volume is unclear
Pick in store has advantages when processing low volumes, once higher volumes are reached advantages shift to centralised solution
Plan B is required that compares cost implications for both solutions and break-even point
Pick-in-store could be used as starting point for offering click & collect/ drive-in solutions for customers
