Operational challenges in a digital store
Businesses face multiple challenges and questions when it’s about a ‘quick launch’ of a sustainable Digital Store solution.

Businesses operating a Digital Store typically face several challenges in their day-to-day operations. These range from outdated legacy processes, to delayed responses to customer queries, limited ROIs from campaigns, and so on. Businesses also need to answer several questions, such as:
- What should be my D2C business strategy? Do I sell the product to the customers directly or do I opt for a B2B2C model?
- How do I build a strategic entry quickly and embark on a long-term sustainable roadmap?
- What products and offerings do I sell in the digital store? Do I need to digitise all products or only a few of them?
- What are product complexities, configurations, contracts, pricing, and nuances to keep in mind while embarking on the D2C journey?
- How do I run the digital store as well as manage commerce operations and the support centre?
