Dynamics 365 for Retail

Dynamics 365 Commerce (Retail)

Commerce, which is licensed per user, helps retailers manage their operations, connect employees with data, and offer exceptional shopping experiences. Dynamics 365 Commerce helps unify the customer shopping experience by bringing in-store, back office, and call center functionality together in one end-to-end platform. E-commerce may be added as an option. Commerce also eases integration to emerging channels (such as new social media platforms) through an API-driven, headless commerce engine. Intelligent forecasting and product recommendations enables retailers to:

• Improve in-store and e-commerce profitability.
• Drive intelligent business insights to optimize strategy and cost.
• Accelerate buying behavior through customer experiences that are unified and consistent across buying channels.
