The retail market is undergoing the fastest pace of change in its history with traditional high street retailers coming under increasing pressure from online competitors and new, agile market entrants who are grasping the ever-changing buying behaviour of the social media-aware consumer. Consumer buying behaviours are rapidly changing and traditional “bricks and mortar” retailers are having to transform their offerings and engagement models in order to differentiate themselves.
The use of artificial intelligence and data analytics to harness and mine consumer data from social media, location based trending and buying behaviours is leading top retailers to invest heavily in digital transformation to provide a more immersive shopping experience that is tailored to the individual in order to yield greater spend and increase brand loyalty.
SCC works in partnership with retail organisations to deliver transformational IT from distributed store front environments through to the core infrastructure and now to embracing the changing demands of self-service and click and collect. SCC’s capabilities mean that retailers can be confident of their technology foundations and can build a scalable, agile environment with trusted SCC services from the data centre through the supply chain and to the store front, wherever that may be.
