Beyond Transactions:
Experiential Retail is Changing the Way People Shop
From brick and mortar to smart stores-retail has come a long way. With the explosive growth of digital technologies, retailers are going the extra mile to harness these technologies to curate differentiated experiences. Today, customers are not interested in just buying products, they expect intimate connections with the brands. As they demand hyper personalization and omnichannel experiences, retail brands need to modernize their tech architecture and business models to meet their aggressive demands. While some have succeeded, others are yet to accelerate their transformation journey to thrive in a dynamic retail landscape.
Cloud4C, one of the leading application-focused cloud managed services providers, has empowered global retail companies to offer innovative, personalized, and frictionless shopping experiences through immersive experiences, GenAI driven chatbots, data-driven personalized offers, touchless payments, and more. From experimental to experiential, all these advancements are powered on cloud as a core foundation.
