Omnicom Group Inc. (OMC - Free Report) yesterday announced its specialist e-commerce practice, Transact.

Transact, which is supported by Omni Commerce, is part of Omnicom’s Omni operating system. It offers retail media and analytics, content optimization, catalog management and account management as part of its eCommerce consulting and eRetail execution services.

It will strengthen Omnicom’s e-commerce capabilities by helping clients to allot cross-channel spending, make operational changes within inventory and sales systems, and attach strategic decisions with marketing messaging. This in turn will help the company increase sales by expanding market share on eRetail platforms.

According to John Wren, Chairman and CEO of Omnicom, "eCommerce and eRetail are at the center of our clients' growth and transformation agendas. In scaling Transact, we are strengthening our leading capabilities for our clients, helping them convert every consumer touchpoint into a new opportunity for growth.”

We believe consistency and diversity of Omnicom's operations, and increased focus on delivering consumer-centric strategic business solutions ensure its long-term profitability.
