Today, Retail is as much about creating delightful experiences for consumers as it is about selling great products or services. Consumer centric retailers have realised this and are taking advantage of the leaps in digital technology to ensure that shopping with them, irrespective of whether it is at a store, on an app or a website, is pleasurable.

Advanced technologies such as AI, VR, Edge Analytics coupled with the Internet of Things are helping make Retail experience like Stores, Signage’s, Kiosks, POS increasingly smart. Together, they are help create magic at different touchpoints, gather insights rather than data and connect with consumers to create something that is not just meaningful for them but also for the business.
