Spotlight Series | What Makes A Great Unified Commerce Leader
A first-of-its-kind Unified Commerce Benchmark Index for Specialty Retail has just been released!
The report uncovers what leading retailers are doing to pave the way forward for exceptional in-store and digital customer experiences, and so Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga have asked a trio of experts to discuss the findings and, particularly, what, in their minds, makes a great Unified Commerce Leader.
Join Chris and Anne as they interview Ann Ruckstuhl, Senior VP & CMO at Manhattan, Amy Eschliman, Managing Director of Retail at Google Cloud, and Rob Armstrong, CMO at Zebra Technologies.
Together Chris and Anne will discuss with them what separates good from great along the following dimensions:
- Search & Discovery
- Cart & Checkout
- Promising & Fulfillment
- Service & Support
You will walk away from this discussion with a clear vision of how to deliver outstanding experiences across the customer buying journey and what, at the end of the day, most differentiates retail leaders from non-leaders.

Fast Five | Walmart Radio, Amazon Prime Mobile, ChatGPT Search & The Great Petco Baby Debate Of 2023
In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, SPS Commerce, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne:
- Lauded Amazon for courting mobile carriers to offer potentially free phone service as part of Amazon Prime.
- Were split like a pair of too tight pants over the idea of in-store ads via Walmart radio.
- Had a more cordial than usual kerfuffle over Anne’s claim that Petco’s new flagship store should be an inspiration for the baby industry.
- Saluted Foxtrot for opening up its biggest store yet in, you guessed it, Texas.
- And closed with a look at why Instacart using ChatGPT for search could be a big moment in the history of retail.
There’s all that, plus Anne’s high school drive-in memories, “stroke”-iversaries, and synonyms for the word "orgy."
