Overview
Enterprise technology for multi-channel operations
Multi-channel operations join up commerce, booking and customer workflows with CRM, analytics and dependable infrastructure across locations. Disconnected systems make customer data and reporting harder to use.
CALIT focuses on the enterprise-technology layer — custom software, commerce and booking workflows, CRM, analytics, cloud, integration and infrastructure — rather than operating retail outlets, hospitality venues or fulfilment.
Engagements can begin with an assessment, a roadmap, an implementation, an integration or ongoing support, depending on where the value and the risk sit for your organisation.
Connected commerce, booking and customer data so teams and channels work together.
Where CALIT fits
- Enterprise IT, custom software, cloud and integrations
- Commerce, booking and customer workflows
- CRM, analytics and reporting
- Store, venue and fulfilment operations by others
