Conducted by Incisiv, a leading retail research firm, the Benchmark is based on real-world purchases and returns. It analyzes more than <b>400 specialty retailers <\/b>across EMEA, LATAM and North America on 330 capabilities spanning four key experience areas: Shopping, Checkout, Fulfillment, and Service.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 2026 Benchmark reveals that while the industry has made steady progress in unified commerce maturity since 2023 when it was first launched, only <b>7% of retailers have achieved true unified commerce leadership while 33% are still stuck in the Basic category<\/b>. Leaders are translating connected, data\u2011driven yet customer-centric experiences into <b>nearly 2X higher growth rates<\/b> than their basic peers.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Benchmark highlights a <b>new competitive reality<\/b> in specialty retail, where scale, assortment and brand presence alone no longer guarantee growth. Key insights include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>AI is reshaping commerce:<\/b> AI in retail is projected to unlock <b>more than $500 billion in value globally by 2030<\/b>, shifting the focus from simple task automation to intelligent systems that anticipate demand, personalize in real time and resolve friction before customers encounter it. AI shopping assistants, predictive fulfillment, in\u2011store personalization and intelligent cross\u2011channel support with context\u2011aware escalation are defining the new frontier.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Consumer journeys are fragmented:<\/b> More than <b>66% of consumers now use two or more channels before completing a purchase<\/b>, moving fluidly between marketplaces, social platforms, messaging apps and retailers\u2019 own sites and stores.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Execution economics are under pressure:<\/b> Global logistics and fulfillment costs have risen by <b>over 20% in the last three years<\/b>, as customers expect faster delivery, flexible fulfillment and seamless service as standard.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Inventory intelligence:<\/b> Real\u2011time visibility and dynamic allocation drive <b>significantly higher inventory turns<\/b> \u2013 50% in NOAM, 45% in EMEA and 27% in LATAM \u2013 helping reduce stockouts and markdowns.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Yesterday\u2019s differentiators are now table stakes.<\/b><b>38% of the capabilities that differentiated leaders in 2024 have become table stakes by 2026<\/b>, including basic real\u2011time inventory visibility, digital wallets and cross\u2011channel support.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cRetailers are being asked to do something incredibly hard right now: deliver faster, more personalized experiences while also protecting margin,\u201d said Katie Foote, SVP &amp; CMO, Manhattan Associates. \u201cWhat this benchmark makes clear is that the retailers pulling ahead are not doing it with one standout channel or a single capability. They are doing it by reimagining the entire customer journey and connecting the business end to end, from shopping and checkout to fulfillment and service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 2026 Benchmark also reveals how <b>unified commerce maturity is evolving by region<\/b>:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>NOAM retailers<\/b> benefit from deep ecommerce foundations and mature data infrastructure, leading in shopping and checkout personalization and cart execution.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>EMEA retailers<\/b> stand out in operational consistency, cross\u2011border fulfillment and privacy\u2011conscious experiences shaped by a complex regulatory landscape.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>LATAM retailers<\/b> are closing the gap faster than any other region, driven by rapid adoption of alternative payments, messaging\u2011led service via WhatsApp and mobile\u2011first fulfillment models.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cThere is no single blueprint for winning in unified commerce. Different regions are moving at varied speeds and solving for different customer expectations. However, the common thread is clear: retailers that invest in connected experiences and precise execution are seeing the results in growth, resilience, and strong customer loyalty,\u201d added Foote.<\/p>\n<p>\nClick <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.manh.com%2Four-insights%2Fresources%2Fresearch-reports%2Funified-commerce-leadership-2026&amp;esheet=54458175&amp;newsitemid=20260323854673&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=HERE&amp;index=3&amp;md5=ad0fcdf8f33ab9afd719c5d90e2f5e47\">HERE<\/a> to view and download the complete 2026 Global Unified Commerce Benchmark for Specialty Retail.
