Additionally, 71% aim to boost overall digital spending to enhance customer experiences and operational efficiency. In this interconnected world, smart stores are key drivers for the digital transformation and sustainable growth of physical retail.
Elevating Consumer Experience Through Smart Stores
Shoppers now seek a seamless blend of convenience and personalization across multiple channels. By enhancing store intelligence, retailers can integrate online and offline channels, providing personalized recommendations at physical touchpoints. This enriches consumer interactions, making shopping smoother and more engaging.
Recent research underscores this trend. According to SAP Emarsys, 40% of retailers are currently struggling to deliver relevant product recommendations. By unifying customer data and creating holistic customer profiles, retailers can overcome this challenge, offering personalized omnichannel journeys tailored to individual preferences.
Optimizing Store Operations with Digital Solutions

Utilizing technology for process automation, intelligent management, and service innovation can significantly enhance operational efficiency and optimize resource allocation.
