In this episode of Total Retail Tech Insights, Editor-in-Chief Joe Keenan interviews Radial's Vice President of Omnichannel Solutions Vikas Aron, and Director of Payment Operations Dave Roessler. Radial is the leader in omnichannel commerce technologies and operations. Aron and Roessler discuss the technology provider's various products and services, and what makes Radial's order management system (OMS) and payment solution unique in the market. They share how its OMS and payment systems work together to provide a seamless omnichannel experience, the biggest pain points they're hearing retailers struggle with right now, and how Radial can solve the challenges arising as more brands implement complex buy now, pay later (BNPL)solutions.
In addition, Aron and Roessler discuss why they foresee younger consumers continuing to adopt alternative payment solutions such as BNPL, including those consumers with limited access to credit. Lastly, they share the most common misconceptions around how an OMS operates in conjunction with payment processing, and how Radial provides a frictionless, connected solution.
