What is the most encouraging thing you see for the future of the retail IT industry?
AI can be a slippery slope for retail. However, we find the proper use of it very encouraging for the industry’s future in a couple of ways. It can augment the associate experience and increase productivity which can lead to labor savings. Additionally, AI can enhance the customer experience in multiple situations, such as product availability, shortened wait times, more available/responsive store personnel, and higher order accuracy to name some options.
