Advancing digitization is skyrocketing, impacting every industry, sector and business the world over. Digital adoption rates have accelerated by five years in just a few months, and one-third of companies have digitized their supply chains.

Within retail, some sectors have experienced significant growth in recent times - where supermarkets recorded the highest increase in online traffic in 2020, for example - but global sales dipped by 5.7 per cent in the same year.

That said, many companies in the retail sector have had a turbulent few years, with different businesses affected in a variety of ways. It's very much been a boom-or-bust period, where some established brands have struggled and new outfits have grabbed a piece of their market share. This has led to disruptions in the market.

As a result, retailers must now address a new range of challenges on both the consumer and enterprise sides. These challenges include:

Digitization – customers now expect digital solutions to help streamline every shopping experience
Agility – retailers with the business agility to adapt to ongoing changes in the market are realizing the greatest success,
Omnichannel capabilities – customer demand for an online and omni-channel shopping experience will continue to rise in the years ahead, which places retailers under increasing pressure to make sure payments, pricing, promotions, products, gift cards, and order histories are all integrated into one place, within one system
Emphasis on community and fragmentation – digitization lowers the barrier of entry for many retailers, allowing small businesses to compete on a global stage
Traditional stores are no more – retailers are now responsible for providing a clean and safe in-store environment for their customers. Social distancing measures and other safety considerations are now in place for the vast majority of stores

To stay ahead of the competition, your traditional shops must now adapt to a range of changing trends that are revolutionizing the retail sector by embracing the right digital solutions to future proof your business, such as Cloud POS Solution for Digital Stores.
