According to research conducted by Forrester Consulting, 68 percent of U.S. multichannel shoppers are more likely to purchase from brands whose products are readily available through a variety of physical and virtual touchpoints.

To help retailers achieve this goal, e-commerce solutions provider Demandware has expanded its Multichannel Commerce offering with a prescriptive framework that extends their digital commerce efforts to smartphones, tablets, in-store kiosks and other Web-enabled devices. The Multichannel Commerce solution combines Demandware’s cloud-based digital commerce platform, multichannel accelerators, pre-built integrations from Demandware LINK technology partners, education, implementation services and solution support to provide a cohesive framework for extending digital commerce capabilities to wherever and whenever multichannel consumers interact with a brand.
