Retail is in a state of flux with factors such as our multi-screen world, our need for connectivity, and contextual relevance driving constant change.
For instance, the line between e-commerce and in-store experiences is becoming increasingly blurred as the years go by.
Such changes present exciting new possibilities that forward-thinking retailers can take advantage of, but these could also be the final nail in the coffin for businesses who have refused or failed to adapt.
In this ever-changing landscape, the spoils go to companies nimble enough to adapt to changing marketplaces.
It’s no secret that retailers need to learn how to embrace change to thrive and do what matters most—make their customers happy. This, however, is easier said than done.
So then how can you flourish in these changing times?
As the saying goes, the future belongs to those who prepare for it today. You should turn to technology-driven transformation and consulting to stay up-to-date with shifting customer preferences and trends.
Together with a retail technology consulting company, you can explore new technologies that fit the business and set up a flexible ecosystem that lets you capitalize on disruptive changes.
The retail industry has seen quite drastic changes in the last few years, and no business is immune to it. Change can be a lot of work, but it is critical to business growth.
Companies such as Toys“R”Us and JCPenney learned that the hard way.
Although their troubles stem from many reasons—debt, new competition, and customer loss—these companies have all failed to innovate and adapt to changing times.
Deriving actionable insights from data enables retailers to make a clear path towards their goal. Often, companies struggle to take advantage of the myriad of data capture points disseminated throughout their environment.
That’s when they need retail technology consulting.
With over 30 years of industry experience, M.X. Data (MXD) is a trusted partner of luxury retailers all around the world, offering a full range of solutions and consulting services that enable retail businesses to thrive in the ever-evolving and competitive landscape.
Part of M.X. Data’s mission is to teach retailers how to capture, store, and analyze their data.

Different generations have varying preferences when it comes to shopping. Generation Z shops on social channels two to three times more than the average consumer, particularly on Instagram and Snapchat.
Knowing all that, you should adopt a modern approach to retail instead of sticking only with traditional or e-commerce platforms.
This modern approach centers on a cohesive user experience, where customers and retailers can engage at every touchpoint.
In modern retailing, every channel is optimized to ensure a seamless shopping experience. This is quite different from traditional retailing which enhances individual touchpoints without necessarily considering how each affects the entire shopping experience.
Modern retailers should take advantage of the cloud, analytics, mobile, and other emerging technologies to improve their efficiency while reducing costs thanks to the integration of their retail systems.
M.X. Data has a smart infrastructure that can adapt to your business’ changing needs.
We can make your company more agile by teaching you how to determine and implement the right technologies for your business.
E-commerce might present a massive potential for growth, with 1.66 billion people worldwide purchasing products online. However, if you truly want to cater to today’s consumers, you have to offer services on all online and offline channels.
On top of that, you have to provide a seamless shopping experience.
M.X. Data helps you build a modern retail organization for the modern customer by aligning your e-commerce and brick-and-mortar channels into a unified architecture.
In doing so, you can keep customers within your ecosystem, where each channel will work harmoniously with the rest to raise sales and engagement.
We offer a powerful point of sale solution, designed to integrate all your retail channels, from e-commerce and m-commerce to brick-and-mortar or shop-in-a-shop. This streamlines inventory and order management and makes the shopping experience more convenient and customer-centric.
Traditional retailers who only have brick-and-mortar stores won’t be able to react as quickly as retailers who’ve embraced omnichannel or multi-channel retailing.
Often, it’s not the physical obstacles that hinder their ability to adapt. It is their business culture itself.
