In collaboration with FluentCommerce Commercetools Contentstack

The pace and complexity of digital retail operations is rising rapidly but most brands are underprepared to deal with this rising complexity. Less than half of retailers believe they can effectively manage all aspects of their digital operations over the next twelve months. Retailers need to narrow their focus on capabilities that have the greatest impact for their business model. They need to upgrade their omnichannel capabilities, specifically in areas of digital fulfillment, content management and personalization.

This report in collaboration with Fluent Commerce, commercetools & Contentstack assesses the state of digital complexity in the retail industry across the U.S., U.K., France & Germany.

Consumers value experiences that are curated to fit their lives better.

They want to engage, be served, and transact at their time, their pace, their place. They have little patience, infinite choice and the freedom to swipe left at the slightest hint of friction.
