At every point in the omnichannel retail enterprise, from the customer home to the store to the distribution center to the initial source, retailers need ready access to accurate product data. Mobile data capture is a cost-efficient and effective foundation for a holistic seamless retail strategy.

By scanning product barcodes, customers can obtain product information, check availability and make purchases via the channel of choice. Supply chain workers can track and trace inventory, pick and pack orders, and perform stockkeeping tasks. Customer orders can be fulfilled from any channel through any channel in the most profitable and timely manner possible.

In addition, retailers can collect a wealth of real-time data about their customers and products that can be analyzed to greatly improve seamless operations. They can adjust product assortments, planograms, pricing, distribution, and marketing and CRM efforts according to current factors.

Mobile data capture can further serve as the foundation for creating new opportunities for success, such as click and collect programs or targeted promotions.
