Summary

E-commerce organizations have long emphasized digital experience to foster customer loyalty and improve business outcomes, particularly during holiday seasons. While transaction speed remains a crucial component, the post-purchase experience, including order fulfillment and backend processes, significantly impacts customer loyalty and satisfaction. Retailers face challenges in managing fulfillment due to increasing online shopping, customer expectations for real-time updates, and complex logistics involving multiple carriers. Solutions like inventory and order management systems can introduce new complexities, such as data integration and multi-channel logistics. Embracing business observability, as demonstrated by innovations from Dynatrace, can enhance visibility into end-to-end processes, enabling real-time insights and agile responses to disruptions. By linking business process KPIs with system performance, retailers can better manage fulfillment processes, ultimately improving business outcomes and customer satisfaction.
