It’s Friday, the weekend is almost upon us, so let’s kick back and reflect on another eventful week for the retail systems space. Here’s your briefing on the most important stories from the past five days, including Best Buy, Marks and Spencer, Rohlik Group, B&Q, and Retail Technology Show 2024.
1. AI, AR, 3D, and immersive experiences: The second RTIH Retail Technology Innovations Report goes live
This highlights the top 50 retail tech plays of the past 12 months as decided by our Editor, Scott Thompson, and an independent advisory panel.
We were looking for groundbreaking technology deployments, launches, and pilots from across the omnichannel retail landscape, be they payments, supply chain, online, mobile, physical store etc related.
Thompson produced a longlist which then went to the advisory panel, consisting of:
Mike Cadden, Chief Technology Officer, Marie Curie
Matt Taylor, Technology Transformation Leader at EY, Retail and Consumer Products
Christine Russo, Retail Industry Analyst
Carole Kingsbury, Former Director of IT, Ted Baker
Peter Waugh, Director, International Digital (EMEA, LAC & AP), Starbucks
Nadine Neatrour, Marketing Director, Selfridges
Matt Bradley, Director and Founder, Retail Technology Show
They picked their stand out retail technology plays, put forward their own favourite innovations, and, based on this, Thompson drew up the final 50.
Innovation and technology play a critical role in the success of the retail sector, and it is great to celebrate this with the 2024 Retail Technology Innovations report.
