From business and IT roadmaps to system design and implementation, BearingPoint assists retailers at every step of their transformation.

Trends and challenges

E-commerce and omnichannel are now considered mature processes within most companies, and the trend has shifted to the next step: Controlling and mastering data and information inside and outside the company, the challenge for retailers who aim at implementing a customer 360° view.
