Luxury Lexicon A definition

Omnichannel

Coordinating stores, websites and other sales channels so customers can move between them during a purchase or service request.

Omnichannel retail connects physical and digital channels so that a customer’s information and purchase journey can carry between them. A customer might buy online and collect in a store, or purchase in a store and arrange delivery. Supporting these journeys requires coordination between customer records, order handling and the teams responsible for service and fulfilment. Simply operating a website and a store does not establish that connection. The useful distinction is whether the retailer can retain relevant information and continue the transaction or service when the customer changes channels.

Fendi’s Toronto omnichannel stock associate handled curbside pickup, ship-from-store and online purchases collected in store. These routes required the store team to prepare customer orders even when the purchase began elsewhere. The ordering channel and the point of collection could differ.
