    = Summary: Struggling to keep pace with modern retailing? Retail is a fast-paced, ever-changing landscape but Ed Betts explains a better way of doing things that will make all the difference in the year ahead…

     Retail success demands more than meeting customer expectations. It requires agility, precision, and a competitive edge both on the shop floor and in the back office. Discovering the ideal retail model can seem overwhelming due to the industry’s constant, complex balancing act of pricing, inventory, promotions, supplier relationships and growth pressures.

    Such challenges often rely on time-consuming manual processes, but that doesn’t have to be the way. Retail Express has the solution. Our platform brings algorithmic retailing to life through a suite of next-generation tools that tackle these industry-wide challenges, leaving teams empowered and free to focus on growth and innovation.

     Key benefits of algorithmic retailing

    Our algorithmic tools, AI-driven optimisations, and powerful automations allow retailers to operate more effectively by reducing manual errors, leveraging real-time data, and empowering confident decision-making. The result? Strategic and tactical advantages that boost sales and profitability while delivering more targeted and competitive offers for customers.
