B2C e‑commerce Website Development & Omnichannel Strategy
Your customers no longer shop through a single channel: they switch from mobile to in-store, from the website to the app, and expect the same experience at every step.
We design B2C e-commerce sites designed for omnichannel, offering a unified experience across your online store, brick-and-mortar locations, and mobile channels.
Some Statistics on the Power of an Omnichannel Strategy
A single channel is no longer enough. An omnichannel experience is no longer a competitive advantage—it’s a basic expectation of your B2C customers.
What are the challenges of a non-omnichannel B2C website?
When your e-commerce site and your brick-and-mortar stores operate in silos, the customer experience becomes fragmented, and conversion rates suffer as a result.
-
#01
Your in-store inventory and your online inventory aren’t synchronized, which frustrates your customers and hinders your cross-selling efforts.
-
#02
Your customer cannot pick up in-store what they purchased online (BOPIS: Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store) or return to the store what they ordered online.
-
#03
Your loyalty program works differently depending on the channel, leading to lost points, frustration, and a loss of loyalty.
-
#04
Your store staff do not have access to the customer’s web history, and vice versa.
-
#05
Your product catalog is not consistent across the website, mobile site, app, and in-store product pages.
Your marketing is promoting offers that are inconsistent across channels, which undermines brand perception.

Framework: Aligning Business Strategy with the Omnichannel Customer Journey
We start by conducting an audit of your current customer journey: pain points, gaps between channels, and unmet expectations. Building on this foundation, we work together to a target vision (journey, features, IT integrations) prioritized by business value. Deliverables: a shared set of specifications and a delivery in batches.
UX/UI Design: Ensuring Consistency Across All Channels
The web experience cannot be viewed in isolation: we design user journeys by integrating pathways to the store, the mobile app, and customer service. This phase produces the screens, data schemas, and API contracts that will guide development.
Build: Develop in sprints with incremental releases
We prefer a phased rollout approach: the first version delivers the core functionality (catalog, shopping cart, payment, unified inventory), while subsequent versions add advanced omnichannel features (BOPIS, unified loyalty program, cross-channel returns). This allows us to deliver value right from the start.
Deployment and Activation
Secure migration, training for your in-store and e-commerce teams, and enhanced monitoring after go-live. We support the marketing launch and gradual ramp-up.
A Methodology Enhanced with AI
AI accelerates several critical phases: product catalog enrichment, personalized recommendations, automated test generation, and documentation. We’ve seen productivity gains of 30 to 70 percent in certain key phases.
Technologies & Partners
Our selection of partner solutions is based on our experience in e-commerce and digital technology. Our vendor-neutral approach allows us to identify and recommend the best solutions on the market.

FAQ: Your questions about creating an Omnichannel B2C Website
The budget depends on the size of your product catalog, the number of stores to be integrated, the level of customization, and the complexity of the IT integrations (point-of-sale, ERP, OMS). An omnichannel B2C project for a retailer with 50 to 200 stores represents an investment of several hundred thousand euros, with a measurable ROI in terms of average order value, customer loyalty, and drive-to-store traffic.
Allow 4 to 9 months from scoping to the launch of an initial version that delivers core functionality (catalog, purchasing, unified inventory). Advanced omnichannel features (BOPIS, unified loyalty, cross-channel returns) are rolled out in successive releases over an additional 6 to 12 months.
Click & Collect refers to the option to order online and pick up in-store. BOPIS (Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store) is the most advanced version of this model: the product is physically set aside in the store. Drive-through is a variation where customers pick up their orders outside without entering the store. The choice depends on your store type, average order value, and the customer experience you’re aiming for. We’ll help you decide which option is best and guide you through the implementation process.
This is achieved through an Order Management System (OMS) that aggregates inventory from all retail locations and displays it on your website in real time. Off-the-shelf solutions (OneStock, Manhattan, Fluent Commerce) or custom-built systems can be implemented depending on your IT maturity and sales volumes.
Not always. Depending on the quality of your current platform, it’s possible to add omnichannel components (OMS, CDP, BOPIS) as an overlay without completely redesigning the entire site. A preliminary audit helps determine whether to opt for a complete redesign, partial replatforming, or gradual enhancement.
