Business situation

The past few years have seen a fiercely competitive retail market. With online shopping rising in popularity and the impending launch of Amazon in Australia, The Country Road Group was looking to stand out. They sought to innovate with their digital product by offering customers personalisation, and multiple delivery solutions including click n collect; enhancing their in-store experience whilst also increasing process efficiency. As part of this they were also looking to introduce gift cards which could be used both online and in-store.
