Retail automation is a process that automates, simplifies, and streamlines manual and repetitive processes. It includes service kiosks, self-checkout systems, mobile apps, and touch point of sale (POS) terminals. It is easy to access and saves time while reducing the cost of operations. Besides this, it assists in improving the in-store experience, enhancing efficiency, reducing human errors, improving customer experience, and keeping data updated in real-time. Nowadays, key players are integrating data intelligence to provide deep insights from business metrics for growth opportunities and increase overall sales.

Retail Automation Market Trends:
Lockdown imposed by governments of several countries to limit the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has disrupted business operations. As a result, enterprises across the globe are leveraging intelligent solutions, such as retail automation, to adapt to the current market scenario. Moreover, retail automation aids in addressing the challenges of safety concerns, sustained revenues, labor shortages, and supply chain management. This, coupled with the emerging automation trend, rising volume of data, and the growing focus on better customer experience, is driving the demand for retail automation. Apart from this, the increasing adoption of digital payments is positively influencing the use of wireless POS terminals in the healthcare, transportation, and sports and entertainment sectors worldwide.
