        D2C is Becoming Table Stakes in the Home Goods & Decor Market

        While department stores have been on the decline over the past few years (RIP Sears), they took a dive during the Covid-19 pandemic and may never be able to recover. Home goods brands that have historically relied on distributors like department stores, must now look at expanding their owned channels to get their products in front of their customers.  

        In the US, DTC ecommerce sales grew over 45% in the last year with over 88% of buyers preferring to buy directly from the brand vs a distributor. And they aren't predicted to slow down any time soon.  

        To be successful at direct-to-consumer commerce, brands need the right technology in place to create those coveted customer experiences.  

        That’s where we come in.

        Why an OMS is Critical for Home Goods Brands

        A challenge that comes with expanding into D2C channels from wholesale is brands must now manage their entire customer experience—from storefront to front door. With consumer expectations becoming more complex, it’s important for home goods brands to have a built-for-purpose order management system that’s agile enough to tackle any new opportunity that comes their way.   

        At Deck Commerce, order management isn’t just something we do, it’s all we do. 

        We’ve been helping brands with direct-to-consumer commerce for over 20 years. That experience taught us what order management capabilities brands need for success—and turn every customer into their best customer.
