Retail CRM · powered by Phera
A wholesale account and a loyalty-program shopper turn out to be the same person
One contact, two completely different commercial relationships — tracked without either one overwriting the other.
80 monthly searches for "retail CRM" (narrow phrase; true demand spreads across many adjacent terms)
A boutique owner places a wholesale bulk order under her business email — the Wholesale pipeline. Separately, months earlier, she'd signed up for the consumer loyalty program under her personal email. Most retail CRMs only ever see one of these. Phera's Form matching keys can connect them to a single Contact once the link surfaces, without merging or overwriting either commercial relationship.
Omnichannel support sits on top of both: WhatsApp order-status questions, email return requests, and in-store lookups via the API all land in one Ticket inbox, drawing from the same unified agent capacity — a five-open-email agent and a two-WhatsApp-thread agent are compared on the same scale.
Retention that knows not to spam a wholesale partner
A generic "order delivered" webhook fires a post-purchase retention sequence for every consumer order — except a workflow first checks whether the same Contact has an open Deal in the Wholesale pipeline. If so, the touch routes through the wholesale account rep instead of the generic marketing blast, because a wholesale partner getting a coupon-code email is a worse outcome than no email at all.
