Retailers are looking to technology to help them overcome mounting challenges in the industry. For too long, legacy technology has not afforded retailers the agility to evolve with the ever-changing needs of consumers. We are devoted to freeing retailers to reimagine, build, and evolve their infrastructure with technology that empowers change. Our focus is operationalizing technologies, such as A.I. and Computer Vision, to address significant business impacts around shrink and labor shortages. At the same time, these innovations enable important connections with shoppers providing more enjoyable and personalized shopping experiences to keep them coming back.
