Low-code for retail and e-commerce

The retail landscape is becoming increasingly competitive. A perfect customer experience and efficient processes are crucial for survival. The key to success? Low-code.

Enhance the customer experience
with low-code

Consumers have high expectations. From the first website visit to payment, every interaction should be seamless. With low-code, you can create a consistent and personalized customer experience, both in-store and online. At the same time, you achieve operational efficiency.

Greater flexibility

Low-code empowers you to enhance your digital agility by rapidly developing adaptable applications. It enables effortless integration of new functionalities that your customers demand.

Best-of-breed

Low-code enables a best-of-breed strategy. You can choose the best solution for each step of the customer journey and integrate them with low-code. The result: a superior customer experience.

Cost-effective

With low-code, you can utilize pre-built functionalities while incorporating a touch of customization to develop cost-effective software that seamlessly aligns with your retail processes.

Omnichannel is the standard

Most individuals combine online and physical shopping. Hybrid options like click-and-collect are gaining popularity. However, few retailers provide a seamless omnichannel experience. 84% of consumers believe that retailers should improve the integration of their offline and online channels. Investing in this area is worthwhile: an omnichannel customer shops 70% more frequently than someone who exclusively shops offline.

Consumer demands personalization

Your customers don't want to be treated as just another number. They value a personalized approach. In fact, 91% of consumers are more likely to make a purchase if a retailer provides relevant offers and recommendations. On the other hand, generic websites, impersonal shopping experiences, and irrelevant emails result in frustration. It's no wonder that almost 80% of retailers invest in personalization.

Composable commerce is gaining traction

Online retailers need to continuously adapt to customer needs. This requires a level of flexibility that all-in-one e-commerce solutions lack. That's why many companies are adopting composable commerce. This approach involves constructing a platform using best-of-breed components. Whether it's search functionality or payment systems, you choose the optimal solution for a superior customer experience.

Streamline the buying experience
with an e-commerce platform

The true power of an e-commerce platform lies in selling your products to anyone, anytime, anywhere. From product management to orders, payments, and marketing, it streamlines every aspect of your business. With low-code, you can swiftly build a flexible e-commerce platform that aligns with your operations, delivering an exceptional buying experience for your customers.

Always have the right product information
with a PIM system

Whether it's your online store, catalog, or advertising poster, your product information needs to be accurate at all times. Often, this data is scattered across various systems and files, which can lead to issues. With a product information management (PIM) system, you can centralize your product information. This brings order to the chaos, improves efficiency, and helps prevent complaints.

Optimize your warehouse
with a WMS

Efficient warehouse management is crucial for swift order processing, ensuring a smooth flow from procurement to delivery throughout the entire supply chain. With a warehouse management system (WMS), your warehouse or distribution center operates seamlessly, eliminating any obstacles that may disrupt customer satisfaction. Experience the benefits of low-code WMS software today.

Leverage low-code to create a customized loyalty program that your customers love.

Maximize your sales opportunities
with a CRM system

How well do you truly know your customers? With a customer relationship management (CRM) system, you can consolidate all customer information in one place, providing your team with a comprehensive view. This empowers you to deliver exceptional service, while marketing automation ensures you never overlook a sales opportunity. Let's unlock the full potential of your business.

Streamline your payment process
with a point-of-sale (POS) system

It's the holy grail for every retailer: the payment. Employees need to have all the information at their fingertips and be able to assist customers quickly. With a POS system, you ensure that every transaction goes smoothly. Do you want a superior payment experience that perfectly fits your business? And do you refuse to settle for inflexible off-the-shelf software? Then choose low-code.

What is the best software for retailers?

There is no simple answer to this question. When selecting software, factors to consider include functional requirements and available resources. The key consideration is choosing between an off-the-shelf software package or custom development. Various vendors offer off-the-shelf software for the retail industry, but you can also opt to develop your own tailored retail software.

What are the pros and cons of off-the-shelf software?

Off-the-shelf software enables fast implementation at relatively low costs. However, it often lacks proper alignment with the specific requirements of your customers and employees, even if the vendor claims it is designed for the retail industry. In practice, essential functionalities are frequently missing, or you end up paying for unnecessary features. Customization options for the software are also limited.

Retailers often try to fit their processes into the confines of an off-the-shelf package, losing what sets them apart. We believe in prioritizing the business rather than the technology.

What are the pros and cons of custom development?

The primary benefit of custom software is its seamless alignment with your business operations. You are not reliant on a software vendor determining which functionalities you require. Instead, you have complete control over the features and design of the software.

Traditional software development involves manual coding using programming languages, which can be a complex and rigid process. It often necessitates comprehensive specifications and extensive planning, resulting in time inefficiencies. Considering the dynamic nature of the retail industry, with ever-changing customer demands and market conditions, the final product may not align with evolving requirements.

Additionally, attracting proficient programmers can be a difficult and expensive task. Fortunately, custom development doesn't have to be difficult. At House of low-code, we combine ready-to-use functionalities with a touch of customization, building applications that perfectly cater to customer needs. We achieve this using a future-proof technology: low-code.

What is low-code development?

Low-code is a development approach that empowers you to create applications using visual building blocks and models. It provides a user-friendly graphical interface, which conceals the complexities of programming code. By leveraging low-code, you can rapidly build customized retail software, seamlessly integrate new features, and often achieve cost savings compared to traditional software development.
