How a Leading Telecommunications Retailer Uses One Door to Synchronize Online and In-Store Promotions
Speed and precision are everything, especially in an industry where promotions change daily and customers expect instant alignment between what they see online and in-store. In today’s “click-and-mortar” world, a single gap between digital and physical can break customer trust.
In fact, according to Forrester, 43% of business leaders say omnichannel retail is a growing priority, and for a leading telecommunications retailer in Australia, omnichannel alignment wasn’t just a marketing goal. It was a necessity.
The retailer needed a better way to synchronize its in-store experience with its online offers. With hundreds of stores nationwide, they needed to ensure that customers saw the same offers online and in-store, even during flash-style promotions lasting only a few days.
By adopting One Door’s Store Assistant and Store Compliance, the retailer transformed its ability to respond to market opportunities with agility, ensuring omnichannel consistency at telecom speed.
The Challenge: Aligning Flash Promotions Across Hundreds of Stores
Telecommunications retail moves fast. Device launches, rate-plan adjustments, and short-term bundle offers can change daily.
For this leading retailer, the challenge wasn’t just managing volume. It was managing speed.
When flash sales were introduced, the company discovered an operational bottleneck: By the time stores received updates and executed changes, the offer window was often closing.
This resulted in inconsistent customer experiences between online and in-store promotions, which was a risk to brand trust and to compliance with Australian consumer protection laws.
As the company drafted flash campaigns nationally, several operational barriers quickly became clear:
- Speed of Change: Promotions launched online needed to appear in stores almost instantly. Traditional store communication channels couldn’t keep up.
- Lack of Centralized Control: Without a unified platform for planogram creation and distribution, HQ had limited visibility into campaign accuracy.
- Operational Inefficiency: Each campaign required manual coordination and follow-up, which was unsustainable for flash promotions that only last a few days.
- Customer Experience Risks: Misaligned offers could mislead shoppers, creating friction and potential regulatory exposure under the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) strict advertising standards.
The question became: How can we manage fast-moving, high-frequency campaigns on a national scale without adding headcount or compromising accuracy?
The Solution: One Door’s Store Assistant and Store Compliance
To meet the challenge, the large telecom retailer adopted One Door’s unified visual merchandising platform, using Store Assistant for speed and Store Compliance for assurance. By centralizing campaign management within One Door’s platform, the retailer built a faster, more synchronized path from HQ planning to in-store execution.
Execute Flash Sales Overnight
With Store Assistant, HQ can now launch, manage, and complete campaign updates overnight, during non-trading hours. Stores receive updated planograms and execute changes before opening the next day — keeping pace with online promotions in real-time. This results in:
- Instant national rollout of short-term offers
- Seamless reversion to previous configurations post-promotion
- Zero downtime or confusion between campaigns
A flash sale that once took days to communicate and execute can now go live across every store overnight and revert seamlessly when the campaign ends.
Ensure Consistent, Verified Execution
Using Store Compliance, HQ verifies that every store has executed changes correctly and on time. Real-time visibility ensures each location mirrors online promotions precisely, protecting both customer trust and regulatory integrity.
Scale Campaign Frequency Without Increasing Complexity
Before One Door, flash campaigns were too operationally heavy to manage. Now, the retailer runs additional flash promotions every month, without adding staff or overtime.
The Results: Omnichannel Alignment at Telecom Speed
Since implementing One Door, this telecom retailer has achieved:
- True Omnichannel Consistency: Promotions now align perfectly across digital and physical channels.
- Faster Speed-to-Market: Campaigns that once took days now deploy overnight.
- Increased Campaign Frequency: New flash offers are launched monthly without extra workload.
- Regulatory Confidence: Consistency reduces the risk of ACCC violations and protects brand integrity.
- Stable Workload, Higher Output: HQ and field teams manage more campaigns within existing processes.
For customers, that means every promotion feels cohesive: The same deals, the same clarity, and the same confidence whether they start online or step into a store. This retailer’s transformation shows what happens when omnichannel alignment is built on operational clarity rather than complexity.
“One Door allows us to consistently deliver regardless of each store’s unique footprint, tailor the experience based on customer preferences, and provide better transparency into store merchandising quality and compliance.”
Why It Matters: Omnichannel Without the Chaos
Omnichannel retail isn’t just about being present online and in-store. It’s about delivering a consistent, trusted experience everywhere.
Even retail giants like Amazon have learned that omnichannel isn’t just about technology; it’s about executional clarity. This telecom provider’s story proves that with the right platform, even the fastest-moving brands can bring digital precision into the physical world.
By uniting speed, consistency, and compliance, this retailer turned campaign agility into a competitive advantage — one that builds trust with customers and confidence across the organization.
In an era when nearly half of retail leaders are prioritizing omnichannel strategy, this telecom company shows what success looks like when strategy meets speed.
Going Further: Building Toward Space-Aware Planning
The retailer plans to extend its One Door implementation into space-aware planning, integrating planogram intelligence with spatial data for deeper store Insights into campaign performance.
As retailers continue to merge digital and physical commerce, this next step will enable the telecom company to understand not just what changes, but where and why, closing the loop on omnichannel execution.
With One Door, the retailer continues to build toward a more connected, data-informed future where digital and physical retail move in perfect sync.
