Retailers find new opportunities for growth and
profitability in a new unified frontier
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI), a global technology leader that
provides innovative solutions and services powering
anywhere-to-everywhere commerce, today announced that it will
launch its much anticipated Commerce Complete™ for Retail platform
at next week’s ShopTalk in Las Vegas. Commerce Complete for Retail
uniquely brings together the industry’s most capable and scalable
platform to make unified commerce more than just a desired state,
delivering the must-have capabilities and value to complete a
retailer’s technology, tools and services offerings for growth and
sustainable profitability.
Increasingly savvy shoppers now enjoy a plethora of retail
options that combine the physical and digital shopping experiences
ranging from click-and-collect, order online/return in store,
ship-from-store. Meanwhile, the cost of offering these scenarios
has placed tremendous pressure on the margins of retailers and
their ability to thrive long-term.
Additionally, consumer behavior has taken the next leap forward,
as these scenarios have gone global. According to Pitney Bowes 2016
Global Online Shopping Study, 66% of shoppers have already
purchased cross-border, and that number is expected to increase
over the next few years. Retailers have invested heavily in
traditional technologies to deliver the experiences consumers
expect, but now need the must-have capabilities that give them
global reach, control over hidden costs like shipping, and enable
sustainable profitability.
Pitney Bowes offers Commerce Complete for Retail as a unifying
platform with unmatched customer reach through cross-border and
marketplaces as well as intelligent and optimized shipping, a true
anywhere to everywhere capability. Complemented by unique services
for marketing, payments, and delivery, as well as powerful API’s
for location, shipping, tracking and more, retailers are able to
meet and exceed consumer expectations without compromise. With
these capabilities that complement and extend existing technology
investments, retailers can grow with transparency and control of
costs not before possible.
Global consumers will benefit from Commerce Complete for Retail
through a seamless and unmatched shopping experience. Retailers
will find the painful tradeoffs they have faced coming to an end,
as insight, experience, and execution are finally available in one
platform, on a global scale.
“With so many retailers having to close stores, retailers MUST
turn their stores into distribution points. At the same time, these
retailers need to expand their customer base beyond their
traditional geographies to grow. All of this requires a disciplined
approach to Unified Commerce and getting to a single version of the
truth about the order and the customer,” said Greg Buzek, President
of IHL Group. "Pitney Bowes is uniquely positioned with their
commerce platform to optimize shipping, cross border and sourcing,
helping retailers satisfy these critical scenarios at the best
possible margins.”
“ShopTalk, the premier event in retail and ecommerce, is the
ideal venue to announce Pitney Bowes’ capabilities in unified
commerce. While we gather to discuss the future of the shopping
experience, Pitney Bowes is here to help retailers get there
today,” said Lila Snyder, Executive Vice President and President,
Global Ecommerce, Pitney Bowes. “Pitney Bowes’ combination of
technology, services and subject matter expertise is critical for
retailers looking to consolidate their data and capabilities into
one, simplified platform to better address the needs of their
customers.”
At the ShopTalk event, Pitney Bowes will be meeting with
attendees and sharing ideas through a variety of avenues.
- In the spirit of exchanging ideas,
Pitney Bowes will be located in the exhibit area at booth 229.
- Jon Kapplow, Senior Vice President,
Consumer and Merchant Solutions, will present at the ShopTalk Demo
