Retailers have more technology options than ever. From inventory management systems to customer relationship management (CRM) solutions, cloud technology in retail is helping merchants increase productivity, reduce costs, and boost sales.
Cloud technology in retail is an integral part of the sales environment, and retailers who embrace it will gain a powerful competitive advantage over their peers, as customers expect merchants to provide an array of sales resources including:
For example, Home Depot recently invested $5.4 billion to improve the customer experience in its physical stores and e-commerce platform. Home Depot gives customers multiple communication paths during a single transaction. Online customers who pick up orders at a physical retail location have the opportunity to talk with Home Depot’s expert associates, and a relationship is established that can drive repeat visits.
Additionally, cloud technology in retail enables retailers to streamline their processes, which gives them more time to create a fantastic customer experience. And retailers will only continue to invest in technology.
According to Gartner, worldwide retail technology spending will increase 3.6 percent to $203.6 billion in 2019.
