Kevin Moffitt, President of Office Depot and OfficeMax, discussed the company's transformation and omnichannel strategy at the eTail 2025 conference. He described the business as serving both consumers and small businesses, which he called an underserved market. Moffitt said the company is balancing goods and services, noting that 200 stores offer TSA pre-check enrollment. He highlighted a 20-minute in-store pickup promise and said associates use mobile devices from Zebra Technologies to manage inventory and customer needs. Moffitt stated that the company is using AI for specific tasks, such as digitizing user manuals and associate-facing documentation to help employees find solutions quickly, and for personalizing promotional emails. He emphasized the importance of human interaction in stores, saying that most customers are greeted by an associate who asks how they can help. Moffitt also noted that all stores function as full-service print facilities and that the company is focused on supporting customers as work and life have blended together.
“95 plus percent of businesses in the US are small businesses less than 20 employees and a huge chunk of those businesses are sole proprietorships just one person. The small business entrepreneur is really the backbone of our communities.”
“Every single one of our stores is a full service print facility that can do custom flyers, signs, business cardsβyou name it. We really can support many different business needs.”
“There's a tremendous amount of momentum behind managing your own work environment. Work and life have blended together absolutely, and we're focused on how to avoid completely taking the human factor out of your work.”
“The vast majority of customers who walk into one of our stores are going to have someone welcoming them, asking what brought them in that day, and how we can help them. This human factor is a big differentiator for us.”
