Globalization has caused changes in how nations, people, and especially businesses interact. A tremendous unconstant shift is happening in the retail market, resulting in the formation of smart retail. Companies, because of technology, are turning digital, automated, and interconnected.
To understand this evolving marketing landscape, hereβs how SMART retailing caused development and impacts in the industry.

The use of data from technology, especially point-of-sale (POS) systems, enables retailers to offer rewards and discounts to new and repeat buyers. Also, this data can be the basis for nurturing and personalizing shopping experiences, attracting them to purchase again.
Mobile wallets
Traditional forms of payment through cashiers and queues will slowly diminish through mobile payments based on artificial intelligence (AI). Customers can pay through their phones and, in some instances, can be charged automatically once they leave the establishments.
Applications
This digital era has caused people to be glued to their smartphones. Along with this, applications on phones, such as social media, are an effective platform for the virtual presentation of products. This grows brand awareness and ease in selling products as buyers can make a purchase directly from your posts.
Reduce Tasks
Automation and AI will speed up redundant tasks, such as inventory management. It will be easier to determine the products in demand and mark down overstock items through sales promotions. With this, retailers can focus on more critical tasks like customer care.
