Accelerating retail personalization at scale

How tech and AI enables personalization in retail

By modernizing aging technology and adopting a customer-centric approach, retailers can drive business outcomes while delivering the personalized, omnichannel experiences consumers expect.

Intimacy or scale? How about personalization at scale?

As customers become increasingly sophisticated, they expect shopping experiences that center around their needs and desires, challenging retailers to keep pace. Because creating highly personalized omnichannel experiences is imperative, retailers should address modern-day labor and technology challenges to embrace a more customer-centric business model.

Accelerating retail personalization at scale explores how a cloud-based platform and its advanced functionalities can help retailers:

  • Create deeply personalized customer journeys and interactions
  • Construct a holistic view of the customer, inventory, and operations
  • Attract and retain top talent and streamline employee workflow

 

The future of retail hinges on curating immersive, highly personalized technological experiences, but embracing a customer-centric approach will also require a re-examination of organizational structures and processes.
