The omnichannel commerce suite for ambitious pure players
As a pure player, your organization’s foundation is online. However, growth quickly brings with it greater complexity: a wider product range, multiple online stores, international markets, marketplaces, suppliers, and an ever-increasing volume of orders.
With the NextChapter omnichannel commerce suite, you can manage your online stores, product information, inventory, orders, content, and sales channels from a single central platform. This allows you to build a scalable online operation and gives you the foundation you need to expand into physical stores and omnichannel later on.
Pure players growing with NextChapter
From an online sales channel to a mature e-commerce operation
For pure players, the online store isn’t just another sales channel, it’s the heart of the organization. That requires more than just an attractive storefront. Product information must be complete, inventory must remain up to date, orders must be processed efficiently, and content must contribute to discoverability, conversion, and customer loyalty.
NextChapter brings these processes together. The online store, PIM, OMS, and CMS work together out of the box, so your teams can work from the same up-to-date information and you can implement new initiatives faster.
This creates a solid foundation for further growth, without the added complexity leading directly to more disparate systems or manual work.
The commerce suite for pure players looking to transition to omnichannel
A pure player is a retailer or brand that sells primarily or exclusively through digital sales channels. NextChapter is ideal for pure players who want to centrally manage their online commerce and expand into new sales channels, countries, or omnichannel commerce.
The NextChapter multi-suite brings together web stores, PIM, OMS, and CMS in a single integrated environment. The PIM manages and enriches product information, the CMS supports content and SEO, and the OMS processes orders and inventory across multiple channels and locations. Because these components work together by default, you don’t need to integrate separate systems and apps into a single commerce environment.
From within the suite, you can manage product data, AI-driven data enrichment, content, inventory, orders, and online sales channels. You can easily add additional online stores, international storefronts, marketplaces, and dropshipping suppliers. As a result, NextChapter supports both pure players with a single online store and organizations with multiple brands, countries, warehouses, and suppliers.
With the NextChapter Connector, you can connect the suite to the ERP, finance, WMS, PIM, and OMS systems of your organization, suppliers, and logistics partners. The Connector automatically exchanges data and can validate, enrich, and transform information. This ensures that product information, inventory, prices, orders, and shipping statuses remain up to date across all systems.
When a pure player later adds physical stores, showrooms, or service locations, there is no need to replace the existing commerce environment. NextChapter also supports store inventory, POS integrations, click & collect, ship from store, and other omnichannel processes. This allows the suite to evolve alongside the business as it transitions from a pure online player to a fully-fledged omnichannel organization.
Ready to make the transition from online to omnichannel?
More and more pure players are expanding their online model to include physical stores, showrooms, service centers, or pop-up stores. This changes not only the number of sales channels but also the way inventory, orders, returns, and customer data must be managed.
NextChapter was developed from the ground up for omnichannel commerce. This allows you to easily add physical locations to the same central environment where your online operations are already managed.
Consider, for example:
real-time store and warehouse inventory;
click & collect;
ship from store;
returning online purchases in-store;
reserve and pick up;
integration with POS and checkout systems;
centralized customer and order information;
intelligent order allocation across multiple locations.
So you don’t have to start over when your strategy changes. The suite grows with you, from an online-only player to a full-fledged omnichannel organization.
