Retail edge modern solution

From expectations to outcomes

Despite cutthroat competition, physical retail isn’t going away any time soon. But you know that technology is the key to success in the store of the future, rising to meet changing customer expectations — and delivering better operational efficiency, too.

The store of the future

Today’s best performing retailers treat every store as a digital node, leveraging edge compute and AI to unlock a host of application use cases across the customer journey.

Loss prevention and safety with computer vision, heading off the sharp rise in theft and shrink.
Dynamic pricing and digital signage that react to inventory, freshness, and demand in real time.
Always-on POS and store systems that keep running even when connectivity drops.
AI-driven personalization in-store promotions, loyalty and mobile ordering that respond to shopper intent in the moment.

Is your infrastructure holding you back?

To make these kinds of interactions possible (and keep you ready for whatever the future holds), you need the right supporting infrastructure. But all too often, retailers find themselves held back by legacy.

We’re talking proprietary, siloed systems that require specialist field engineering visits to install, update and troubleshoot, and cloud-connected applications that fall over when cables get cut.

The truth is, smart stores need smart infrastructure based on modern technologies like Kubernetes… and the business case for modernizing the retail edge is crystal clear and compelling.
