6CIOReview | | JUNE 2022With the pandemic disrupting our daily routines, customers have now formed a renewed interest in using digital tools for everyday tasks, and responding to that, retailers are directing themselves to modify the digital transformations to their customers' needs. We are thus entering a `phygital' world where both the digital and physical aspects of retail are connected.Some technological trends anticipated in the industry are staff-free and cashier-less stores. Powered by computer vision, sensors, deep learning, and IoT-based systems, these stores can create a touch-free shopping experience where customers receive information about products just by scanning barcodes and QR codes. Besides, consumers can self-checkout at the end of the purchase with the help of AI-bots. To augment these trends further, many retail companies are applying chatbots to bridge the gap between online and offline experiences, which can perform personalized and two-way conversations with the help of natural language processing (NLP). Now, it is only a matter of question whether more organizations are ready to invest in the future of tech-powered retail. In this edition of CIOReview, we bring you the story of some of the most promising retail tech solution providers that deliver the best outcomes for their clients.
