Expanding Omnichannel Retail Horizon: Headless Commerce
summary
Lowe's runs an omnichannel platform that powers store, .com, mobile and contact-center transactions for a $90B retailer with 1800+ stores, and argues that headless must expand beyond internal microservices into an ecosystem of APIs and events plus webhooks and messaging. Customers move from ~2 touchpoints in 2001 to ~6 today, and adding a new delivery or brand experience currently takes weeks to months. The proposed outcome is composable experiences that work across partners but raise PII/security concerns and face missing industry standards for presentation and orchestration.
