As of 2021, 40 petabytes of retail data will be generated. For perspective, if you recorded a one-petabyte song, you’d need 2,000 years to listen to it.

Today, by deploying digital transformation retailers can unlock the power of that data.

This can range from predictive analytics that makes intelligent recommendations to customers, to connecting with shoppers within a store or web site, to attacking fraud and shrinkage.

We believe that data is one of the most valuable assets for retailers. like inventory and stores.

If properly understood and thought of strategically, retail data can open entirely new businesses, revenue streams, and consumer differentiation.
