How Ksolves Enabled a Retailer to Optimize Omnichannel Operations and Increase Sales by 30% with Salesforce
Our client, a well-established mid-sized retail brand in the United States, caters to both in-store shoppers and a growing base of online customers. With an expanding product portfolio and presence across multiple locations, the company had ambitious goals to strengthen its omnichannel retail operations. The leadership team recognized that today’s shoppers expect personalized, consistent experiences whether they are browsing on mobile, purchasing online, or visiting physical stores.
While the retailer had invested in various digital and in-store technologies, these systems worked in silos. Marketing, commerce, and customer service teams often relied on separate tools, leading to disconnected insights and missed opportunities for customer engagement. To achieve its growth objectives, the client turned to Salesforce implementation as the foundation for unifying data, processes, and customer interactions into one seamless ecosystem.
The retailer’s rapid growth exposed critical operational bottlenecks that were directly affecting customer satisfaction and business scalability:
- Fragmented Customer Data: Information about shoppers was scattered across multiple systems, making it difficult to build a unified customer profile.
- Inventory Mismatches: Warehouse, online, and in-store stock were not always aligned, leading to frequent order cancellations and delivery delays.
- Inconsistent Service Experience: Customers received different levels of support across channels like phone, chat, and email, which damaged brand credibility.
- Lack of Personalization: Marketing campaigns were broad and generic, with limited data-driven insights, resulting in low engagement and conversion rates.
- Manual Processes: Several workflows, such as order management, customer query resolution, and marketing execution, required significant manual intervention, slowing down efficiency.
Ksolves partnered with the client to design and implement a Salesforce-powered ecosystem tailored for omnichannel retail excellence. The solution included:
- 360° Unified Customer View: Salesforce Customer 360 was implemented to consolidate customer interactions across online stores, physical outlets, and support channels, enabling a single source of truth.
- Connected Commerce: Salesforce Commerce Cloud was integrated with the client’s in-store systems to ensure consistent pricing, promotions, and shopping journeys across all touchpoints.
- Real-Time Inventory & Order Management: Salesforce Order Management System (OMS) was deployed to provide visibility into stock levels across channels, reducing mismatches and enabling faster fulfillment.
- Personalized Marketing Engagement: With Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Einstein AI, campaigns were tailored to customer preferences, shopping history, and behaviors, significantly improving engagement.
- Unified Customer Support: Salesforce Service Cloud was implemented to bring all support channels under one roof. This ensured faster resolution, proactive case management, and consistent customer experiences.
- AI-Powered Automation with Agentforce: Intelligent automation was introduced to streamline workflows such as order routing, service responses, and proactive engagement, reducing manual effort.
- Data-Driven Decision Making: Cross-cloud integrations empowered leadership teams with real-time insights into customer behavior, campaign effectiveness, and sales performance.
Within just a few months of Salesforce implementation, the retailer witnessed significant business outcomes across key areas of operations and customer engagement:
- 35% Increase in Operational Efficiency: By consolidating siloed systems into a single Salesforce ecosystem, teams were able to streamline workflows, reduce redundancies, and eliminate manual interventions. This not only accelerated daily processes but also empowered staff to focus on value-driven activities.
- 40% Faster Order Fulfillment: With real-time inventory visibility and an integrated Order Management System (OMS), the business reduced delays, minimized stockouts, and ensured faster delivery timelines.
- 30% Higher Customer Engagement: AI-powered personalization through Salesforce Marketing Cloud enabled tailored campaigns and recommendations. Customers received relevant offers, dynamic journeys, and consistent communication.
- Consistent Customer Service Across Channels: Service Cloud empowered support teams to deliver uniform assistance across chat, phone, email, and social channels. Customers experienced faster response times and a more connected journey.
The successful Salesforce implementation transformed the client’s retail operations from fragmented and manual to connected, efficient, and customer-centric. By unifying data, streamlining processes, and enabling AI-driven personalization, the retailer not only overcame its operational challenges but also positioned itself for sustainable growth in the competitive omnichannel landscape. With stronger customer engagement, faster fulfillment, and scalable systems, the business is now equipped to deliver the seamless and consistent experiences that today’s shoppers demand.
