🌟 It makes sense that software, logistics and retail companies are creating strategic ownership structures, and moving beyond traditional vendor-client contracts. There is a required business integration and deep partnership between tech, data and inventory to make today's omni-channel retail industry scalable and profitable. Hudson's Bay Company announced its purchase of Neiman Marcus Group, with Amazon and Salesforce as acquisition partners (both taking minority stakes in the new venture). I recently chatted with Liza Amlani and Francesca Danzi about omni-channel excellence. Both experts noted that brands thinking about the next 3-5 years, are making investments into: 1️⃣ Inventory logistics: Getting the right item to the right customer; and 2️⃣ Hyper and scalable personalization. The Hudson's Bay Company deal structure couldn't be more telling for how retailers need to think to succeed. I'm also reminded of FARFETCH's strategy to support retailers with their e-commerce and logistics business. It'll be interesting to see how the acquisition of Neiman Marcus Group plays out for all parties. #omni-channel #personalization #retailstrategy
