The pandemic forced businesses to rethink their business models as shutters were dropped on retail stores. The supply chain, too, was disrupted with an idling inventory waiting to be picked up. As companies embraced digitization, customer buying patterns changed.

Manufacturers have since understood the massive benefits of D2C brands or direct-to-consumer business models, with many adding it to their long-term strategy. A D2C model allows them to have direct, immediate contact with buyers. This model offers better access to customer data, which helps the manufacturers understand the purchase behavior, improve their products, and enhance their marketing strategy.

As businesses shift to D2C, they have moved to incorporate Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Point of Sale System (POS), and Order Management System (OMS) systems into managing their D2C operations.

Why incorporate ERP, POS, and OMS?

ERP software manages business operations such as inventory, resources, finance, marketing, and procurement. An OMS or a multichannel OMS software handles inventory management, order processing, and fulfillment. POS software speeds up checkout in stores / shops, through a centralized database of customers, products, and pricing.

Businesses can streamline all major operations to obtain seamless data flow when integrating these three systems. With real-time visibility and complete automation of processes, businesses can significantly enhance their customer experiences, improve inventory accuracy, and even optimize supply chain processes.

I. Understanding the D2C landscape

The direct-to-consumer model enables brands to engage with customers directly without any intermediaries. Businesses can directly sell on their own websites without the involvement of retailers. When brands shift to D2C, they gain greater control over their brand image, establish genuine relations with their customers and directly gather customer data.

D2C: Challenges and opportunities

Although there are advantages to D2C, it can also present challenges and opportunities for brand and business growth. Major challenges include:

  • Customer acquisition and retention: It is tough to acquire new customers because the costs are high, and acquisition strategies are not foolproof. Even if a brand gains new customers, they need to retain them to reduce future customer acquisition costs.
  • Scaling operations: Scaling operations while maintaining quality is a challenge. As orders increase day by day, logistics, inventory, quality, and multiple sales channel management become challenging.
  • High competition: Most businesses have transitioned to the D2C model, which has made the D2C space crowded. It is becoming harder to stand out for new brands. Moreover, customer interaction has also become complex.

If a business can face these challenges head-on, optimizing their business accordingly, they will also receive a plethora of opportunities for business growth, which include:

  • Higher gross margin: Since no intermediary exists, businesses earn 100% of the profits from the sales made on their websites. Additionally, businesses have more control over their prices since they can offer last-minute sales, discounts, adjusted prices, etc.
  • Enhanced customer experience: Brands can craft personalized customer experiences in their D2C space. Since customers like consistency across all touchpoints, businesses can create their own message, image, and story, ensuring higher engagement, and turnover.
  • Access to customer data: Since customers buy from your own website, you get detailed insight into customer behavior, purchase pattern, etc., which can help you improve your website, products, marketing and more.
