How Autonomous Store Technology enables business ROI and new retail opportunities.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed customer behavior at an unprecedented scale. It’s an adapt-or-perish situation: retailers embracing the new normal are well-positioned for a resilient future. Powered by AI/ML, and cutting-edge sensor technologies, frictionless solutions help retailers regain a strong return on investment while forging agile frameworks to battle contingencies amid the global recession.

Join us for this 45-minute panel discussion on how enterprises are planning their business models around “low-friction, low-touch” retail technologies that enrich customer experience in new ways. Understand how the autonomous store is powering emerging retail concepts, and how underlying technologies enable sustained ROI from new retail applications that were not possible in traditional brick and mortar outlets. Panelists will discuss their experiences of rolling out autonomous store technology to enable ROI-oriented digital retail capabilities from the ground up.

This discussion is not just for retailers, but also operators in hospitals, educational centers, airports, logistics, and commercial real estate industries to consider how autonomous store technology can expand retail opportunities that are now becoming increasingly viable as new shopping use cases emerge.
