• Online Shopping has Accelerated Hyper-personalization

  Retail hyper-personalization is becoming a critical part of the customer experience. Today, when someone talks about hyper-personalization, they mean efficiently using information to create intimate/personal customer shopping experiences.  Hyper-personalization can vary from basic programs such as sending coupons to their customer list to the more advance programs which use predictive analytics which takes into account previous purchases, searches, online behavior and makes suggestions for future purchases.

   

• Retailers are Empowering Associates with Mobile Technology

  Retailers are empowering their associates with mobile devices to aid in buy online pickup in store (BOPIS), curbside pickup, in-store communications, point-of-sale and more. With mobility, retailers are able to load a multitude of apps on the mobile devices to drive productivity and profitability.

There is a dramatic shift toward a true contactless environment with no touch scanning and ideas like instant checkout for apparel and soft goods with RFID tags. Robotics are being evaluated for retail replenishment and much more.
