Retailers and consumers alike have been prioritizing convenience in so many ways. For the consumer, the reasoning is a little more obvious. We all want to shop with brands that offer contactless payment and drive-by pickup, because that means less time searching inside stores. (And, less exposure to other people). From the retailers’ perspective, convenience drives a number of key decisions. The right infrastructure enabling digital capabilities, for example, saves a retailer money and time when it comes to managing their network. Mobile solutions to check inventory, process refunds, and monitor social density allow retailers to keep up with the competition. And streamlined operations aside, we can all agree that less IT fire drills is a win all around.
