The retail landscape is undergoing an unprecedented transition. From an increase in cross-border e-commerce to the rise of omnichannel retail and growing emphasis on sustainability in retail, the retail revolution is picking up speed. Consumers nowadays not only care about product quality and prices but also how ethical the product is and its impact on the environment. As evidenced by an emergence of new sustainable clothing brands in recent years, sustainability has indeed moved up on the agenda in the future of retail.
Retail shopping is easily accessible

Digital transformation improves customer experience and helps optimize the operations of brands. Optimizing operations is one of the pillars of retail digital transformation. As organizations today operate on a multi-channel playing field, integrating digital technologies is paramount to realizing the full benefits of digital transformation in retail.
