Out of every industry that COVID is taking its toll on, Retail was hit hard. We went from stores steadily adopting grocery pickup to providing completely touchless options for customers. After dabbling in it for years, the shopping experience became truly omnichannel to better serve customers’ new needs. That is no small feat.
During this presentation, we will showcase findings from our 2021 retail supplement including:
-
The amazing in-store and distribution tech innovations from 2020
-
How they led to growth for the companies who implemented them
-
Best practices on rolling out these initiatives without straining your Edge and IT infrastructure
Hear how stores like Walmart, or tech giant Amazon, are driving transformation in the industry, which ones are going well, and which you might want to steer clear from, for now.
