What is the most encouraging thing you see for the future of the retail IT industry?
As the pandemic progressed purchasing and products shifted online. Consumers bought food, fitness equipment, and home improvement tools previously reserved for in-person shopping. To survive, retailers quickly developed or enhanced their multi-channel approach. Much of the evolution was built around their current retail software system to ensure a consistent experience, relevant product mix, and support back-end operations. Ecommerce is now a pillar but consumers want a traditional experience only offered by brick-and-mortar establishments. Retailers are quickly becoming technologically savvy to ensure customer and employee safety while supporting the digital experience. All of this means businesses will be updating their in-store tools to provide an omni-commerce experience.
