Grocery’s Reimagination: The Tech Powering the Grocery Wars

Grocery is the latest retail segment recalibrating as part of a digital transformation, spurred by consumers bringing their heightened cross-channel expectations into their weekly food shopping.

In order to adjust to the new demands of seamless customer-centric experiences, grocers are taking hard looks at their operations, the tech powering them, and the customer data that can guide them toward more profitable experiences.

Grocery Wars 2020: Major Trends Reshaping the Grocery Landscape, a webinar hosted by RIS and presented by OneView Commerce, explores:    

• The slew of tech helping make anytime, anywhere shopping seamless -- and what businesses need to do make them scale
• How Kroger's shift from project-based to product-based mentality is helping the chain future-proof itself
• The importance of aligning new initiatives with a next-gen IT roadmap for ongoing evolution
• Why centralized transaction processing matters when it comes to scan-and-go adoption
• What's needed to deliver personalized and predictable shopping experiences
• How to weigh the balance of developing concepts versus evolving an existing strategy
• Why tying them your fulfillment options together is critical to an effective experience
