Progressive Grocer - November 2019

En este asunto

Grocery shopping today is in the midst of an evolution.
Retailers are adopting a number of technology solutions to
face the challenges of tomorrow and ensure a brighter future.
In the modern grocery enterprise, adoption of technology and
digital transformation involves embracing advanced digital
tools that optimize decision-making, learns as it goes,
recommends next-best actions, and moves at a faster speed
than ever before.
Unlike the prior years, when technology was viewed as a
necessary evil, grocers are embracing tech investment today
as a hedge against fast moving competitors and a catalyst
for growing revenue and earning the loyalty of omni-channel
shoppers.
A big reason for the embrace of technology today is the
growing maturity of off-the-shelf solutions, especially in such
areas as merchandise management, the supply chain and
labor management. Another reason is that cloud options offer
grocers a new delivery model that can be less expensive and
less burdensome to deploy for the IT department.
The embrace of digital transformation by grocers is a major
theme playing out today and it spawns a large multi-phase, multiyear
process. Although much work is being done to make grocery
stores digitally ready and reliant, much more work lies ahead
as grocers seek to grow their businesses in a highly competitive
environment and meet the rising expectations of their customers
