Literature Review

Earlier the word “Retail” has been related with the “Brick and Mortar store” (Harris, 2012). With the help of the digitalization, e-commerce was emerged as a new channel and customers have multiple option of shopping which is also called as multichannel retailing (Verhoef et al., 2015). However, due to the division between online and offline channels, they had bad experiences while interacting with this multichannel concept during their shopping journey (Beck and Rygl, 2015).

According to Aubrey and Judge (2012), Omni-channel retail blurs the gap between the online and offline channel by working together side by side and supporting each other. Omnichannel retailing merges the services of offline and online channels. With the help of this new phase of retailing, customer can easily start their shopping journey from one channel and can end it on another channel (Mosquera et al., 2017). This will provide a seamless experience during customers shopping journey and improves convenience and engagement (Alexander and Alvarado, 2017).
