In episode 60 of the Customers Who Click podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking to James Denker about unified commerce.

Departmental Silos are a problem many organizations are struggling with today, but ultimately, the biggest victim in this is always the customer and their shopping experience. The most common example of this I see today is sending out an email campaign with a discount that can only be redeemed in physical stores as opposed to across all channels. 

A great omnichannel strategy doesn’t happen by accident - it’s a direct result of linking all product and customer data together, in one platform: unified commerce. You can far more easily engage your customers in relevant ways if you’ve got data on all their touchpoints available. 

Simple things like being able to time a review email based on the fulfilment date can make a big difference. Not to mention that by linking everything up, you also start to break down some of the walls that appear between or around certain departments.
