Fragmented customer journeys

Customers move between websites, apps, stores and contact centres, but the experience often feels disconnected. Retailers struggle to get a complete view of the customer to remove friction and deliver a more consistent experience.

Rising expectations, limited resources

Customers expect fast, personalised service every time they engage. At the same time, retail teams are under pressure to do more with less, making it harder to meet expectations at scale.

Turning data into action

Retailers have access to more customer data than ever before, but valuable insights are often trapped across multiple systems. Keeping experiences consistent and personal is harder than ever.

Route 101 worked closely with our teams across three brands, ensuring every integration was in place and live in time for Christmas. The fact we were able to transition smoothly, without disruption to service, speaks volumes about their planning, expertise, and commitment.

We received excellent support from Route 101. Our Project Manager was incredibly on the ball and did a fantastic job of coordinating all teams. Our Implementation Consultant was also extremely supportive, helping bridge the gap between complex technical jargon with terms and explanations that were easy to understand.

Scale without the spend

Agents at their best

Exploring the latest challenges

Expectations keep climbing. Demand swings are sharper and less predictable. New channels and tools are added to keep pace. AI is introduced quickly, often before there’s time to fix what’s already creaking underneath.

Through it all, frontline teams are expected to make it work. Every fix solves a problem in the moment, while adding another layer behind the scenes. Over time, journeys become harder to manage, ownership blurs and teams spend more effort just keeping service on track.

In conversation after conversation, retail CX leaders tell us the same thing: they haven’t stopped investing but progress feels slower. This point of view looks at what actually works when complexity creeps in and why simplifying foundations is becoming non‑negotiable for retail CX in 2026.
