Retail IT engagements typically split into five workstreams. E-commerce and storefront replatforming, increasingly toward composable, headless architectures on commercetools, Salesforce Commerce, Adobe Commerce, Shopify Plus, or Spryker. Order management and distributed order orchestration on Manhattan Active Omni, IBM Sterling, Fluent Commerce, or vendor-native OMS, the workstream that disproportionately drives unified-commerce business outcomes. Store technology, covering modern POS (NewStore, Aptos, Adyen for Platforms), mobile POS, RFID, computer vision for loss prevention and inventory, and clienteling. Supply chain and merchandising, on SAP S/4HANA for Retail, Oracle Retail, Blue Yonder, RELEX, or o9. Data and personalisation, where customer data platforms, real-time decisioning, and merchandising analytics tie the estate together.
Three procurement archetypes recur. Global SIs (Accenture, Deloitte, Capgemini, Publicis Sapient, Cognizant) lead tier-one retail transformations where multiple workstreams and store rollouts are bundled, typically with strong commerce-platform certifications across multiple vendors. India-heritage SIs (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCLTech, Tech Mahindra) lead managed services, multi-year platform modernisation, and large legacy migration programmes at lower day rates. Specialist boutiques (Valtech, Born Group, Vue Storefront / Alokai, Spryker Systems, Kibo Commerce Services) lead pure-play headless commerce and DTC programmes, particularly for luxury, fashion, and digitally native brands. Friction point: most replatforming overruns trace back to OMS scope, not the storefront. Distributed order orchestration touches every channel, every fulfilment node, and every financial system, and is routinely under-scoped at the start of an e-commerce programme.
