“There’s no way I can wait to get this pair of jeans!”, or “I can’t find this product on amazon, how come?” If you have teenagers or even kids, this is probably the kind of cry of desperation that you must have heard something like a million times…and even more!

With the emergence of the Millennials and Generation Z strategy who are 150% digitally savvy, we should probably worry for the brick and mortar retailers. Some major e-commerce players drastically transformed consumer expectations with a wide range of choices, instant delivery, low prices, etc…. but in the end, it’s not about replacing the “traditional” points of sale. It’s about providing a consistent customer experience across different channels.

70% of consumers use a physical store either before or after their purchase, making the value of the store far greater than just the amount of sales processed within the walls.*

How does this translate for any COO or Sales & Marketing VPs and CIOs? It means they need to ensure a consistent customer experience in shops, while ensuring a delightful experience on their e-commerce website. But how could they while the data to inform the sale process is so diverse and often unstructured? How to make sure that they’re able to unify this data, and translate it into meaningful information?

This is where Intelligent Search can help.
