Proactively Eyeing on Omnichannel Retail
As most brands dealt with temporary closures and uncertain quarantine conditions at the beginning of the pandemic, the New Era team kept themselves busy and made use of the transitory time window to discover and integrate an omnichannel platform to optimize their operations.
The New Era team had considered adopting other omnichannel platforms before, but it was an opportune moment for them to discover Omnirio. Citing their need for personalized training and continuous support, the brand found the Omnirio team’s “hands-on” approach favorable to their predicament.
Gearing Up For Growth
Omnirio’s plug & play capability helped the New Era team utilize the omnichannel platform almost instantaneously, and the support team aided in training their staff from the ground up.
Since the brand’s primary concern of inventory management was aggravated due to the closure of some of their physical stores, the team made quick use of Omnirio’s Inventory Management System to easily re-allocate all the unused stocks to their e-commerce stores.
“Selling stocks was not a problem – updating and replenishing stock was,” says Hazel Exconde, Senior E-Commerce Manager of Authentic Caps Distribution Inc. “We were missing out on selling sold out stocks from one channel but ended up having the same stock unsold in another.”
