Retailers are constantly looking at technology and Business Intelligence and Analytics tools as the keys to create differentiation and increase competence. Store solutions such as Point of Sale, Mobile POS and Self Checkout are critical technologies that help retailers provide efficiency and competency in managing sales. Retailers are seeking to minimize set up cost and improve time-to-market both for technology and products. Similarly, current customers are forcing retailers to integrate multiple channels of retailing and become cross channel retailers and link all these on mobile retailing. These demands put enormous pressure on Retail solution providers to constantly innovate solutions for this industry as well as accelerate the entry of these solutions into the market.
