Consumer behavior has changed significantly since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Shoppers now expect seamless online purchasing experiences across multiple channels, including self-serve options. In-store shopping has returned, but many consumers now view brick-and-mortar locations as an experience and as micro fulfillment centers.
“Changes in the last few years have caused many retailers to reconsider how they do business,” said
ISG has learned from retailers that they plan to increase investments in omnichannel marketing, location analytics, returns management and unified commerce systems. Growing challenges in supply chain and logistics are leading companies to invest in areas including autonomous delivery, last-mile delivery, sensors and asset tagging. Other emerging trends include increasing automation and the use of digital technologies to make store employees more effective.
ISG has identified leading-edge retail technology startups to participate in this study. For each vendor, the report will include an overview of the company, its solution, its value proposition, its funding status and other essential information.
ISG analyst Aman Munglani will serve as author of the report. Further details on the study are available in this digital brochure.
