Edge computing in retail: How to capture the opportunity today

The retail sector is already facing unique challenges: huge growth in e-commerce, an existential crisis for the high street and mounting pressures from consumer to deliver a totally seamless experience in and outside the store.

However, these have only been amplified by the unprecedented environment presented by COVID-19, which means retailers need to maximise their opportunity as countries come out of lockdown, enter the ‘new normal’ and gear up for the post-summer period. Edge is poised to be a key enabler in this, by unlocking new applications and capabilities that will enhance the customer experience across online and offline channels.

Key topics discussed in the webinar:

  • The value of edge for retail customers
  • Key use cases
  • Real applications in retail that are using edge
