Traditionally, the industry has relied on partnerships with large retailers, and primarily managed the majority of its operations offline. But in today’s CPG environment, consumers call the shots as they increasingly engage in product research online before ever venturing to the store.
Direct-to-consumer (D2C) is creating disruption in the traditional CPG supply chain model. Respond to customers’ delivery and commerce expectations with strong eCommerce sites and plenty of fulfillment options while avoiding channel conflict.
Respond to new innovations and industry regulations with a modern supply chain operations strategy that inspires customer trust and delivers on expectations.
Tailor the buying experience to multiple audiences – end consumers and corporate buyers – using a shared infrastructure to manage content, products, and discounts for distinct shopping experiences.
Shoppers are busier than ever and are increasingly looking to save time buying the products they use every day. That means CPGs need to support multi-channel orders (online, in-store, mobile, marketplaces, etc.), payments, and shipments of these staple products. With 5G tech promising a future where dishwashers will reorder their own detergent, it’s essential to iron out replenishment execution now as part of an omnichannel strategy.
The Kibo Unified Commerce Cloud platform supports a wide array of headless and multi-channel commerce strategies. Our API-first architecture supports headless commerce while also giving you a best-in-class eCommerce front end and supporting orders from outside the platform, so you can sell your products no matter where your shoppers are.
Attractive product pages, including in-depth product information and consumer reviews are essential to getting customers to click “buy now.” Your eCommerce solution needs to support an agile merchandising and content strategy. That might mean using an out-of-the-box solution with a site builder or going “headless” with your own in-house CMS. Either way, your commerce platform has got to integrate and work flawlessly.
Kibo’s hybrid approach to headless commerce gives you the most valuable advantages of headless commerce without the drawbacks that come from building a front end from scratch. Kibo eCommerce is built API-first and on a microservices model that supports headless commerce strategies while also giving your digital commerce teams the best of both worlds.
