Going forward, technology like ‘AI’ will be further used to get an integrated view of consumer behaviour. Preferences obtained from store and non-store-based sales and marketing channels will allow retailers to offer personalised and consistent experiences and will facilitate the seamless switch between channels.
Technology has always played a major role, creating a massive impact in reviving the retail industry, bringing it renown and repute. It is assisting retailers to become highly-equipped and advanced in the way they enhance the experience for consumers.
