Today, retailers are connecting online and offline touchpoints to create more effective purchase journeys. In a recent feature, Business of Fashion looked at how they’re doing it — featuring expert comment from Conor McGrath at parcelLab.

Then, you can basically merge a store network into that — perhaps via third-party return stations.”
