We are witnessing the most dramatic shift in consumer behaviors, preferences, and expectations the retail industry has ever seen. To succeed in this new economy, businesses must create a unified strategy, across every channel, to develop and optimize compelling digital transformation experiences.
The demands of today’s consumer
Today’s digitally savvy consumers have full control over what, when, where, how, and why they buy. As the line between physical and digital interactions becomes increasingly blurred, their expectations continue to grow. If you don’t provide the value and convenience they demand—on every channel they use—your customers will simply go elsewhere.
Your ultimate success or failure hinges on making the customer the central focus of every aspect of your business. A digital approach allows you to:
- Tap into detailed, real-time behavioral information, both in store and online.
- Rapidly create—and continuously optimize—new products.
- Expand from selling goods to include additional services.
- Identify innovative ways to attract customers and build loyalty.
- Help associates work more productively.
- Streamline day-to-day operations.
- Develop updated business models that leverage digital capabilities.
“Customer first” is redefining retail.
Digital transformation means going beyond the customer experience to radically reshape the way retailers do business.
Organizations today recognize the importance of becoming more customer-centric. This has led to an increased focus on gleaning insights related to customers’ behaviors and preferences, from massive volumes of data obtained during, and after each shopping activity
These insights help organizations serve personalized and contextualized offers to customers, thereby leading to increased value and immensely delightful transactions, which keeps customers coming back.
This profitable demand, of course, spells good news for business bottomline. Personalized offers are immensely effective in Influencing customer behavior at the point of purchase. The result?
- Up to a 20% increase in promotional conversion rates
- 15% increase in average basket size, and
- 10% increase in the purchase of suggested upsell and cross-sell products.
These personalized offers are created in real time by combining the consumer’s shopping context and location with the company’s knowledge of the customer’s profile, preferences, and purchase history along with in-store product availability.
At Savantis, we can help any size retailer maximize the return on their marketing investment and create an enhanced shopping experience by collecting and acting on massive amounts of data about customer behavior in real-time and delivering relevant offers while the customer is standing right in your store.
All of this is possible with the power of SAP.

Customer Needs, Met Effectively.
Win over demanding shoppers – with our customer-centric merchandising solutions for retail.
Customers’ needs and wants seem to fluctuate constantly. But their expectations for quality, selection, and service only seem to increase.
If you are a midsized retailer, you face the same challenges as national chains when it comes to planning, procuring, supplying, and selling.
But midsize retailers usually have disparate legacy systems and fewer resources – people, time, and budgets – to overcome those challenges.
-
To win the competition for customers, midsized retailers must provide more enjoyable and differentiated experiences than national chains.
-
Midsized retailers must also improve operating efficiencies, make accurate informed decisions based on real time information, and put action plans in motion quickly.
A single platform, integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) system helps retailers to do exactly that.
- With years of expertise selling and implementing SAP Retail Solutions at midsized retailers, Savantis Group understands their needs and speaks the language.
- We offer a wide-range of services and solutions to help retailers select, implement and support merchandise management applications and provide your associates with services and experiences.
