Before we dive into what an Impact Analysis is, here are a few important things to know:

  • It starts with a discovery call. We'll learn about your current systems and goals before running the numbers.
  • It's designed for multi-location retailers. You'll get the most value if your business:
    • Runs 3+ systems to manage retail, eCommerce, receiving, or ordering flows
    • Employs middleware to transfer data across systems
    • Relies on data syncs or has more than one "source of truth"
    • Uses and pays for a payment gateway separate from your processor
  • It's a real consultation, not an online quiz. You'll meet with our team to review your current technology and costs. From there, we conduct the analysis under NDA to ensure your information stays confidential.

Why We Offer this Free Analysis — and Why It Matters

At FieldStack, we know that every retailer's technology stack is unique — and so are their expenses. That's why we offer our Impact Analysis, a free, personalized report that compares your current technology costs with the potential cost offsets of switching to FieldStack's unified commerce platform.

An Impact Analysis is more than just a number on a spreadsheet. This is a consultative process where we work closely with you to:

1

Map out the systems you're using today

2

Identify overlapping or redundant tools

3

Pinpoint the efficiencies gained by replacing specific tech with a unified platform

While cost savings are often the most visible result, they're just the start. FieldStack's unified commerce platform can help you consolidate operations, eliminate vendor complexity, and open up new opportunities for growth.

Today's Retail Tech Stack is Fragmented — and Expensive

Over time, many retailers build their operations on a patchwork of separate tools. It starts with a POS. Then an eCommerce platform. Then loyalty tools. Then an integration layer. Each new piece comes with its own contracts, support fees, and data silos. 

The result? 

  • Duplicate functionality that you’re paying for twice (or more) 
  • Siloed data that results in errors and slows down decision-making 
  • Complex integrations that require ongoing vendor support 
  • Vendor markups and transaction fees that chip away at your margins 

FieldStack replaces this web of disconnected tools with a single, unified platform — so you can spend less time managing software, and more time growing your business.

FieldStack Unifies and Mitigates the Need for Solutions Like These:

  • Point-of-Sale (POS) systems
  • eCommerce platforms
  • Loyalty programs
  • Middleware / Integrators / ETL
  • ERP systems
  • Business intelligence tools
  • Payments & payment gateways
  • Inventory management systems
  • Warehouse management systems
  • CRM platforms

And more!

These are fictional examples for illustrative purposes and should be considered directional only. Each estimate is unique to your store size, locations, tech stack, and other factors. Vendor names have been removed for privacy reasons and costs are approximate examples.

What’s Not Included: Aside from the direct cost savings of simplifying and streamlining your tech stack, this analysis doesn’t account for the growth channels our platform enables — like expanded eCommerce opportunities, improved customer retention, and more accurate demand forecasting.
