The secret to a better retail store is real-time visibility.
@vusiongroup is making the connected store a reality, so your associates can run stores better, easier, and faster without drowning in tedious manual work.
EdgeSense is the backbone that connects it all, turning physical shelves into a source of real-time, actionable data:
โ Visibility into what's actually happening in-store
โ Complete shelf visibility to help teams do more with limited workforce capacity
โ Continuous data and AI-driven insights to improve stores and store chains over time
Watch below as Top Retail Expert, Pauline Monin, explains how this tech helps retailers run their stores more efficiently.
Start putting your AI to work.
Most retailers have already tested their tech. The challenge now is scaling what works, driving measurable results, and turning experiments into execution.
On July 9, weโre bringing together retail AI leaders for a practical, interactive workshop on how to embed AI into your everyday workflows.
This interactive session covers:
โWhat it really takes to scale AI so your teams can finally focus on strategy
โA small-group discussion with your peers to map out exactly where your company stands with AI and pinpoint where automation will give you the biggest payoff

Grocery retailers have zero time to waste on tech that doesn't actually work.
Between thin margins and staff turnover, the pressure is real.
Throwing AI at the problem sounds easy, but getting it to work on the shop floor is a different story.
On the latest podcast, @ricardo_belmar (@RetailRazor ) and Aidan Mittra (OrderGrid) chat about how to fix messy data, get your store gadgets talking to each other, and unlock extra cash.

The energy at Shoptalk Europe 2026 was electric and the conversations we shared were even better.
Shoppers have completely raised the bar, and retailers have to step up to deliver a true experience at every single touchpoint.
Driving Agility Through AI: Consumers are actively rewarding reliability, speed, and convenience above all else right now. That means using AI to drive serious operational agility.
Authenticity Over Acquisition: Letโs be clear, tech alone won't cut it. Authenticity is still the number one thing people value.
Legacy Power with Startup Speed: We have entered a fascinating era of unexpected teamwork. Winning in this market means pairing the data power of retail media and the stability of legacy brands with the raw speed and fresh thinking of startups.
Keeping up with these rising standards takes a collective effort. That is exactly why opportunities like Shoptalk Europe matter. They allow us to learn from one another when tomorrow's baseline is always going to be higher than today's.
Watch the full video below to see and hear all that the show floor had to offer!

Disconnected retail teams take 4 to 12 weeks to execute a single decision.
That delay creates a "Latency Tax" that costs the average retailer 5ยข of every dollar earned.
But top brands have found a fix by reducing that financial hit by 60% through weekly forecasting and practical AI.
Check out the study of 300 retail executives by @anaplan and @IncisivIO to see how to close the gap: ๐

Traditional inventory files are wrong up to 40 percent of the time. For fashion retailers, that accuracy gap is a massive profit leak.

Drew Ehlers from @ZebraTechnology and Matt Redwood of @DieboldNixdorf join Top Retail Expert Marshall Kay to explain how RFID drives stock accuracy to 99 percent.
The Strategy:
- Fraud Prevention: Instantly verify if a return item was paid for or walked out the door.
- Staff Efficiency: Free associates from manual counting so they can focus on sales.
- Liquid Fulfillment: Run leaner store footprints and ship orders in under 60 minutes.
- The era of wondering if you need RFID is over. It is now about what you do with the data.

โPeople want answers grounded in human experience.โ
60% of US shoppers use AI to search for products. Half immediately go to @Reddit to verify the results.
Why? Because in an era of AI-driven information overload, consumers crave unpolished social proof over corporate messaging.
The traditional, linear retail funnel is dead. Decisions are being made in online communities long before a buyer ever hits your website.
Stop trying to control the conversation and start showing up authentically.

Retailers have spent 25 years trying to make in-store picking profitable.
Most still struggle because fulfillment is treated as an afterthought.
Roy Horgan (@vusiongroup) explains that local fulfillment usually fails on three fronts: accuracy, speed, and confidence.
In our latest episode, Vinny OโBrien sits down with Xavier Pym (@vusiongroup) and Kristofer Browall to break down how tech like pick-to-light, hands-free Bluetooth picking, and agent AI turn a standard grocery store into a fast fulfillment engine.

As a retail leader, the hardest part of scaling AI isn't acquiring the right technology.
Itโs managing the cultural shift and ensuring your team continues to take ownership of the actual business outcomes.
If you are building your own tech integration roadmap, our latest podcast offers a practical, operator-to-operator blueprint.
Sunny Jiang, CEO and president of Eyebuydirect, sat down with Jeremy Goldman to break down how her team successfully deployed AI across customer service and engineering without eroding employee accountability.
By treating AI strictly as an employee-enablement engine, they successfully reduced customer friction, driving a 20% increase in engagement.
Whether you are looking to streamline back-end engineering or fix a front-end customer pain point, this conversation offers a realistic look at what it takes to embed AI into everyday workflows.

Retail Therapy time! โ๏ธ
The most sophisticated automation on earth wonโt create genuine brand love.
In this week's episode of Retail Therapy, Top Retail Experts Ricardo Belmar, Brandon Rael, and Marie Driscoll, CFA break down the exact operational discipline required to make automated tools profitable.
At the end of the day, consumers do not buy your tech stack.
They buy products they love from brands they trust.
Use technology to support that reality, not to distract from it.

โThe terminal is no longer a peripheral. Itโs a gateway."
Why? Because peak-ready operators are moving toward a Unified Commerce Operating System, where software dictates the speed of commerce.
@ingenico is leading this migration through its collaboration with the Visa Acceptance Platform, significantly reducing time to market for complex omnichannel solutions.
Don't get locked into rigid legacy hardware. Transition to an extensible platform that absorbs market volatility.
