Top 5 technology trends in retail

Frictionless consumer experiences will become a basic hygiene: Today’s market is flooded with infinite choices in terms of products and channels of information anywhere anytime. Digital is redefining the service expectations from consumers with last mile delivery being the key differentiator.

Delivery is expanding to other segments of retail like pharma. Pick-up points are the new trend seen with bigger retailers to help reach the consumers faster.
