Recommendations¶
- Complete Phase 1 foundations (
basket-management,catalogue-management,customer-profile,inventory-visibility...) to unlock: Clienteling Sale, Loyalty Enrollment, Customer Consent Update, Customer Registration, Loyalty Tier Upgrade, Service and Repair Management. - Strengthen
fulfillmentdomain (avg 1.00/4.00 — lowest across all domains). Focus on quick wins within this domain before cross-domain integrations. - Target Phase 1 to unlock
Clienteling Sale— the first new scenario executable after implementing Phase 1 capabilities. - Leverage strengths in
payment,store— these domains are mature and can serve as anchor points for cross-domain integration projects.
