We continue our conversation with Patrick by discussing the merging of omnichannel retail consumers in Asia and the meta verse; the prominent commerce trends he sees post-Covid; how curb-side pickup became popular; the concept of total commerce; the partner ecosystem and why it’s critical to have to enter the APAC market; Patrick’s thoughts on how to win through superior customer experience; and how the future of offline retail is very much alive and well, just different.
