Supply Chain and Merchandising

Retail's in a time of immense growth, change, and progress. Here’s what consumers and retailers might expect from AI-driven operations in the coming year.

Amazon is known for its extensive delivery networks. In a recent blog post, the retail giant sheds light on the processes fueling these capabilities, the team members keeping orders flowing, and the technologies underpinning it all.

The retailers continue to invest in retail technology to modernize their enterprises as they look to gain real-time visibility, streamline operations, and enhance the consumer experience.

To prevent return fraud and abuse without punishing honest customers for the deeds of a few bad actors, retailers must turn to artificial intelligence.

The inaugural Retail Sustainability Awards, presented by Retail Leader and RIS News, recognize the innovators and change makers who have made sustainability an integral part of how they do business.

REI Co-op is investing in end-to-end operational efficiencies to bolster its value chain, naming Guillaume Ledieu to the newly created role of VP of foundation technology.

For the first time, the annual Supply Chain Study, now in its fourth year, combines the vision and resources of RIS News and Retail Leader. This partnership achieves a robust expansion of the study’s scope and deeper insight into critical retail trends, and thus we’ve renamed it the “Value Chain Technology Study” to reflect the evolution of supply chain trends.
