How MikMak + NIQ is Redefining Inventory-Aware eCommerce Experiences in 2025

Written by Hannah Zwick | March 3, 2025 at 3:41 PM

In today’s fast-paced retail eCommerce landscape, consumers expect seamless shopping experiences. But for brands, delivering on that expectation is easier said than done. Out-of-stock moments, inaccurate inventory data, and fragmented purchase options lead to frustrated customers and lost sales.

That’s where MikMak’s integration with NIQ comes in. By combining MikMak’s eCommerce enablement platform with NIQ’s robust product availability data, we’re empowering brands to deliver superior inventory-aware eCommerce shopping experiences.

Why inventory-aware eCommerce experiences matter 

When shoppers can’t find the products they want, you don’t just risk them abandoning their carts. You risk them abandoning your brand.

Research shows that out-of-stock moments cost retailers. A whopping two-thirds of shoppers abandon their cart if the product they want is out-of-stock. Beyond losing the sale, the ripple effect on brand loyalty can be even more damaging for your brand.

Common solutions, like basic store locators or static inventory data, fall short. These solutions cannot give the real-time inventory accuracy or actionable insights that brands need to beat the competition.

How MikMak + NIQ delivers inventory-aware eCommerce experiences

MikMak’s integration with NIQ is a game-changer for brands looking to elevate their retail eCommerce strategies. Here’s why:

  • Real-Time Accuracy: Out-of-stock moments don’t just frustrate customers; they cost your brand sales. With NIQ’s up-to-the-minute, industry-standard product availability data, MikMak ensures your customers always see accurate inventory data, allowing your brand to improve its marketing effectiveness.
  • Seamless Path to Purchase: Today’s shoppers want a seamless experience from discovery to checkout. MikMak eliminates friction at every step of the journey, ensuring your customers can easily find and purchase your products.
  • Deeper Insights: Understanding where and how your customers shop is key to building stronger retailer relationships and optimizing your strategy. MikMak + NIQ delivers actionable insights that go beyond surface-level data.

Why MikMak leads the pack for eCommerce success
