INTRODUCTION TO OMNI-CHANNEL
WHATIS
“OMNI-CHANNEL”?
“Omni-Channel” - a buzzword used so freely in marketing
and sales; but what is it, really? Essentially, Omni-Channel
refers to the multi-channel approach to sales, customer
engagement, and servicing customers in a way that
creates an integrated and cohesive customer experience;
regardless of how, when or where the customer tries to
connect with a brand.
This means is that what the customer experiences should
be uniform and completely seamless as the customer
transitions from one channel to the next; from shopping
online using a desktop or mobile platform, to engaging with
a sales advisor telephonically, to the experience within the
physical store.
Square defines it as:
Meeting people on the channelswheretheyare

store or an online store or on social media, and

INTRODUCTION TO OMNI-CHANNEL
THEDIFFERENCEBETWEEN
“OMNI”&“MULTI”
The key to Omni-Channel is the seamless experience and
the level of integration between the channels enabling
this. Most businesses already have multiple channels in
place and are excelling within the confines of each channel.
However, if these channels don’t work together, the
customer experience can be frustrating, confusing and
disjointed; resulting in a perceived unclear brand message,
and potentially brand disloyalty.
In this overview of Omni-Channel, we aim to highlight the
technology and various elements that go into delivering an
Omni-Channel experience, and some exciting examples of
others who are owning the Omni-Channel approach.

Burberry, the iconic UK luxury fashion house,
has pursued an Omni-Channel approach
since 2006 as they aimed to become the first
fully digital luxury company.
The London Burberry store represents the best
elements of the brand’s Omni-Channel strategy with
features that blend the online and offline experience.
Customers can enter with items already saved to
checkout from their online account; clothing is
embedded with RFID tags which can be read by
the mirrors and screens throughout the store; and
payments happen while seated on a sofa, to replicate
the at-home shopping experience. Catwalk shows are
live-streamed on a 38 sq m screen that dominates the
main floor. Music has become a central theme in the
brand’s Omni-Channel strategy. The new store has
420 speakers concealed around the main room, and a
hydraulic stage for live music.

EXAMPLE FROM THE INDUSTRY
FordDirect, subsidiary and partner to Ford Motor
company which focuses on the digitalisation of
the customer journey and digital sales support
of the dealer network, has released an app
designed to effortlessly support the “greet to
delivery” sales experience.
Maestro, an iPad-based sales app that allows
a single salesperson to handle the entire
transaction from vehicle selection, trade-
in valuation, credit app/financing and final
contracting with minimal to no customer
handoff, works hand-in-hand with Ford’s Ready.

Car shopping is made easy with a new
augmented reality feature on Capital One’s
customer-facing app - point your smartphone at
a car and the app will display pricing and finance
information above the vehicle, in real time.
Linked with the Capital One Mobile smartphone
app and their personal financial information,
existing customers of the financial services
provider can scan any car they come across
and are interested in buying, and receive all
the necessary financial information - including
whether they are pre-approved to purchase it or
not, and
information about which nearby markets are
selling similar cars.
Powered by machine learning and artificial
intelligence, this app enables Capital One to be
nimble and flexible in preparation for a relatively
uncertain future in the automotive industry.

TRACKING IN OMNI-CHANNEL
ENSURING
EFFECTIVENESS
One potential challenge with an Omni-Channel strategy is
working out which parts of a marketing plan are
working best. With such an integrated approach it can be
difficult to work out exactly which advertisemnet
where is contributing to a sales conversion.
Leveraging tracking tools, such as those used by Google
and Facebook, or integrating blockchain into a seamless
Omni-Channel approach aids in addressing this challenge.
24. © Lacuna Innovation Ltd. 2019 24
TRACKING IN OMNI-CHANNEL
EXAMPLE:
GOOGLE
Google launched a new tool for advertisers called Store
Sales Measurement which allows the owner of the
world’s largest advertising display networks to track
the relationship between adverts viewed online against
purchases made in brick-and-mortar stores.
To do this, Google has partnered with companies
responsible for tracking purchase data; which gives it
access to about 70 percent of all US credit and debit card
transactions. This new wealth of data will allow Google to
associate real-life purchases with the ads shown online. The
analysis will be done by matching the combined ad clicks
of people who are logged into Google services with their
collective purchases on credit and debit cards.

Facebook also tries to do similar analyses to understand
which adverts on the social network are helping businesses
get consumers through the door. Facebook is adding a way
to connect which ads lead to actual sales—at least at the
cumulative level—in stores, or even over the phone.
Although not quite as sophisticated as Google, Facebook
asks businesses to “Upload Offline Events” containing as
much information as possible about in-store transactions.
Facebook will then match this data with online profiles to
establish a link between offline transactions and online
adverts. The measurement tools are just the next step in
Facebook’s plan to connect online with offline. Last year,
Facebook added new tools to let merchants target ads for
nearby consumers, allowing advertisers to see anonymous
users as close as 150 feet away.

BLOCKCHAIN & OMNI-CHANNEL
WHATIS
BLOCKCHAIN?
Blockchain is a decentralised electronic, encrypted
ledger — in other words, a way to immutably store digital
data so it can be securely shared across networks and
users. These transactions can represent any movement
of money, goods or secure data; medical records, for
example, or the assignment of a government ID number.
Using cryptography to keep exchanges secure, blockchain
provides a ‘digital record’ of transactions that everyone on
the network can see. This network is essentially a chain
of computers that must all approve an exchange before it
can be verified and recorded.
Currently, most people use a trusted middleman, such
as a bank, to make a transaction; but blockchain allows
consumers and suppliers to connect directly, removing the
need for a third party. Blockchain networks can be private
with restricted membership similar to an intranet, or public,
like the Internet, accessible to any person in the world.

The essence of Omni-Channel is to provide an integrated
and efficient consumer experience that works seamlessly
across a wide variety of channels and formats. So, with
blockchain’s distributed ledger and shared infrastructure,
in combination with smart contracts and its ability to
provide trust and efficiency in the processing of information
across multiple parties, it is perfectly positioned to enable a
successful Omni-Channel ecosystem.

Smart Contracts, in particular, have the ability to add
significant value to the retail environment. These are
computer protocols or agreements that facilitate, verify, or
enforce the negotiation of a contract when an action occurs.
Based on programmed commands, Smart Contracts are
essentially software programmes that execute the exchange
of value, or ownership of property, based on predetermined
commands. Using Smart Contracts to help the automation
of business processes can have huge cost-saving advantages.

AUTOMOTIVE,OMNI-CHANNEL
&BLOCKCHAIN
The use of blockchain for the automotive industry has the propensity to be applied across all aspects of the
business; from manufacturing through to retail. For retail, the following applications are particularly relevant:
A blockchain based vehicle
registration system would enable
greater transparency and provide
the various parties involved an
overview of the entire process. This
would allow for many activities to
be automated, reducing processing
time and generating cost savings for
all involved.
A blockchain based system would
allow for the record of a vehicle’s
driving behaviour, safety events, and
service schedule to be recorded in a
shared ledger and accessed by the
relevant parties. This would allow
full transparency regarding wear
and tear, and allow the provider to
accurately assess the residual
value post lease.

As software and digital services
play an ever-greater role in today’s
vehicles, a blockchain based
system would allow for software
packages to be distributed, sold,
and tracked by manufactures. This,
in combination with over-the-air
updates and payment facilities,
would allow for new revenue
streams.
With subscription models being
trialled the world over, blockchain
technology would allow for
seamless transfer between vehicles.
