Top Challenges Retailers Face
Retailers struggle with fragmented systems, inventory blind spots, and rising customer expectations. Digital-first competitors deliver seamless experiences while traditional retailers battle legacy technology. Without modern platforms and unified data, market share erodes and margins shrink.
Checkout abandonment and slow site performance
Cart abandonment rates hit 70% when checkout is clunky or slow. Site performance degrades during peak shopping periods (Black Friday, holidays). Every second of load time costs conversions. Legacy e-commerce platforms can't handle modern performance demands or mobile-first experiences.
Legacy ERP and POS systems restrict agility
Core retail systems run on decades-old technology. Adding new payment methods, loyalty programs, or omnichannel features takes months. Point-of-sale systems can't integrate with e-commerce. Inventory data is hours or days old. Modernization seems impossible while maintaining daily operations.
Omnichannel complexity across touchpoints
Customers expect seamless experiences: buy online/pickup in-store, return in-store/refund online, check inventory on mobile/buy in-store. Your systems treat each channel separately. Inventory isn't synced. Customer data is siloed. Creating unified omnichannel experiences requires complete platform transformation.
Demand spikes stress infrastructure constantly
Black Friday, Cyber Monday, holiday shopping create massive traffic spikes. Your infrastructure either crashes (losing sales) or you overprovision year-round (wasting money). Legacy monolithic systems can't scale elastically. Every peak season is stressful firefighting instead of revenue opportunity.
Personalization and AI initiatives lag behind
Customers expect personalized product recommendations, dynamic pricing, and targeted promotions. Your platform lacks AI capabilities. Building recommendation engines in-house takes years. Meanwhile, Amazon and digital-first retailers use AI to capture your customers with superior personalization and shopping experiences.
Inventory and logistics integration challenges
Real-time inventory visibility across warehouses, stores, and suppliers is impossible with legacy systems. Supply chain disruptions cascade into stockouts and lost sales. Last-mile delivery coordination is manual and inefficient. Customers can't reliably check stock before visiting stores or ordering online.
Key Outcomes Scrums.com Delivers
Seamless Checkout Increases Conversion 25-40%
Optimize checkout flows with one-click purchasing, multiple payment options (digital wallets, BNPL, crypto), and guest checkout that doesn't require accounts. Fast, mobile-optimized checkout experiences reduce cart abandonment. Progressive web apps (PWAs) deliver app-like experiences without download friction. Headless commerce architecture enables rapid experimentation and personalization.
Omnichannel Platform Unifies All Customer Touchpoints
Build unified retail platforms where customers move seamlessly between web, mobile, in-store, and social commerce. Buy online/pickup in-store (BOPIS), curbside pickup, ship-from-store, and endless aisle capabilities powered by real-time inventory visibility. Single customer view across all channels enables consistent personalization and service quality.
Real-Time Personalization Boosts Average Order Value 30%
Deploy AI-powered recommendation engines, dynamic pricing, and personalized marketing that adapt to individual customer behavior. Product recommendations based on browsing history, purchase patterns, and similar customer segments. Personalized homepage experiences, email campaigns, and promotional offers that drive conversion and customer lifetime value.
Scalable Infrastructure Handles Peak Demand Automatically
Cloud-native architecture that scales elastically during demand spikes without over-provisioning. Handle 10x traffic during Black Friday and Cyber Monday without performance degradation or crashes. Auto-scaling infrastructure reduces costs during low-traffic periods. Headroom for growth without infrastructure rewrites.
Reduced Operational Costs and Improved Margins
Automate inventory management, order fulfillment routing, and customer service workflows. AI chatbots handle 60% of customer inquiries. Smart order routing optimizes fulfillment costs (ship from nearest location, batch orders). Real-time inventory visibility reduces stockouts (lost sales) and overstock (carrying costs). Operational efficiency improvements directly impact bottom line.
