The Omnichannel Imperative
The OMNI Imperative
COVID-19 has accelerated ecommerce growth
◿ Consumers spent over $153 billion online from April-May, 7% higher than holiday
2019 season.
◿ Consumers are more willing to explore more retail touchpoints. Omnichannel
strategy is now critical for Merchant success.
The lines between Ads Platforms & Marketplaces are blurring
◿ The ads platforms (Google / FB / Others) are going deep into commerce
◿ The marketplaces are going deep into ads (Amazon, Walmart, eBay)
◿ Merchants must deliver a uniﬁed shopper experience across channels which
requires ads / listings / omnichannel order management / fulﬁllment
Omnichannel customers drive growth for our merchants
◿ Omni Shoppers spend 10% more online, log 23% more repeat shopping
visits, and have 30% higher LTV than single channel shoppers.
Merchant growth across channels requires an Omnichannel Strategy and the right partners.

The Omnichannel Imperative
We are at an inﬂection point where the digital channel landscape is being redeﬁned. The
lines between ads, social, and marketplaces are vanishing.
The single most valuable thing that a platform like BigCommerce can provide, beyond
excellence of branded stores, is the ability to maximize sales via third-party sites.
Our vision is to be the world’s most powerful platform for demand generation and
third-party sales enabled via the industry’s best partners.

3. Operations
The OMNI Imperative
Listings / Inventory and Order Management Systems
◿ Inventory visibility is arguably one of the most important aspects of omnichannel
inventory management. An efficient, end-to-end omni approach requires
connectivity
○ Listings solutions help optimize and publish product content from one channel to another
○ Inventory Management / Order Management help manage orders, inventory, shipments,
channel & 3PL integrations, and reporting. Ensure products listed on the channels are 1) available
to sell 2) meet delivery commitments on the channel (eg. 2-day shipping)
ERPs
◿ ERPs combine a number of these back-office operations into one software solution
and can offer organizations even greater back-office efficiencies

BigC Shipping &
Fulfillment Partners:

The OMNI Imperative
Shipping demands are highest on a marketplace. Shoppers expect to
clearly see what’s in stock, expected delivery date and price.
Third Party Logistics (3PLs)
◿ Amazon can fulfill its 2-day promise because they inventory is close to the shopper.
70%+ orders reach a shopper, via ground, in <1 day*
◿ Modern 3PLs, like Deliverr, ShipBob, or Amazon FBA / MCF allow merchants to store
inventory close to your shoppers.
Resulting in higher profitability / higher sales / happier customers
Marketplace Fulfillment
◿ “2 Day Badge” on a marketplace, results in 20+% higher sales
(and is a requirement for the Amazon Buy Box!)
◿ Merchants using Deliverr have the 2Day Badge on most marketplaces
