State of the industry

Retail used to be relatively simple, consisting of brick and mortar stores with analog cash registers and books to track inventory.

But as the use of technology advanced in retail stores, traditional systems and inventory books were replaced by POS systems and financial software.

As more and more components are added to retail systems, like anti-theft security, edge solutions have taken on a greater role within the industry.

Common challenges

Every new layer of technology deployed in a location increases the complexity. This can make running the software within a store, and maintaining consistent versions of software across a range of stores, a major challenge.

In addition, communication between store locations—management, distribution, inventory, etc.—needs to be consistent, accurate, and secure.

The retail edge solution

A well implemented retail edge solution enables simplified application deployment, configuration management, and security across every site. Retailers can have visibility to all their in-store systems in a single pane of glass and push new applications and updates with the click of a button.

Consolidated data allows critical insights that inform everything from improved product placement to cost-saving anti-theft measures.
