The retail industry is facing challenges that didn’t even exist a decade ago. From the Amazon Effect to bridging the mobile gap—retailers are dealing with changing consumer spending habits, the power of social media, and ever-shrinking margins.
Our range of services address the entire lifecycle of retail customers, transforming the end-to-end experience while optimizing your financial performance.
Design
Using research, cognitive and data sciences, predictive analytics, AI, and film recording, we dive deep into the customer experience journey to uncover pain points and opportunities to build loyalty, drive business impact, and produce optimal customer experience outcomes.
Analytics & AI
We provide retailers a platform for cutting-edge retail analytics, including: eCommerce, Customer Analytics, Merchandising and Pricing Optimization, Supply Chain, Operation Analytics, Social Media, and Profitability Analytics.
Our industry-leading robotics technology can help retailers automate up to 60% of their back-office processes, creating major cost savings, and operational efficiencies. We can automate retail processes, such as merchant support, vendor inquiries, sales/seller support, order management, queue management, billing, invoice/order processing, and purchase order creation and management.
Platforms
We offer two platforms to meet our retail customers’ needs.
Sutherland Engage: Our next-generation cloud-based omnichannel customer experience management platform. It is a first-of-its-kind, holistic, intelligent and integrated solution that provides businesses a 360-degree view of their customer's journey across all channels, assisted or automated, and drives lifetime value with every customer interaction.
Engage quickly solves complex business problems by maintaining the integrity of the customer’s journey end-to-end, predicting the shopper’s intent and recommending next best actions to always deliver personalized experiences.
It can easily integrate with enterprise applications to leverage existing customer data, process through the predictive analytics layer to personalize customer journeys, and, in turn, spur sales, build customer loyalty, increase lifetime value, and keep a laser focus on NPS scores. It helps to digitally analyze, curate, and manage customer investments to deliver differentiated experiences that drives revenue and protects margin.
Sutherland Storecast: Sutherland has developed a digitally transformative solution to help retailers optimize in-store sales conversion rates.
Storecast provides a highly differentiated Sutherland-branded KPI (Store Conversion Potential - SCP) that calculates incremental sales potential for a given time horizon for each and every store within a retailer’s enterprise.
Storecast then evaluates the impact of defined sales conversion drivers (store actions/operations) to identify, in real time, the best directives each store should implement to capture untapped revenue while achieving an optimal ROI.
Through direct coaching and a robust testing process, we validate the impact of each conversion driver and directive has on revenue; We then support a rollout program to optimize and maximize SCP for each targeted store.
Chatbot Platform: Using AI-enabled digital assistants online, within mobile apps or across various messaging services, this platform automates customer interactions to help deflect live-agent contact volume, provide faster inquiry response times, increase engagement, and drive more personalization.
