Digital Commerce

EY teams help retailers and brands build digital commerce strategies in the new world of customer orchestration. This positions companies to create the right experiences in the right channels to increase customer lifetime value, optimize marketing costs and unlock profitability.

Your business challenge

Points where consumers interact with a retailer are expanding. New ways of purchasing are emerging, and customer journeys are evolving. Nonlinear paths to purchase have redefined channel purpose, emphasizing value to the consumer rather than just transactions. Competing in this new era of digital commerce requires retailers to fortify their foundations in the face of ever-changing consumer and market dynamics.

Solution benefits

  • We help retailers rethink commerce strategies, maximizing channel purpose, space and footprint to orchestrate relevant, connected and continuous journeys ready for any established or emerging channels. 
  • Our future-back approach positions retailers to achieve resilient new revenue models and top-line growth, manage marketing costs, and create future-ready efficiency and profitability.
