Insight:
IT in Retail

In this insight, we zoom in on how retail uses IT. This industry has been rapidly implementing technology in its physical shops. Retail has also been working on setting up, maintaining and optimising webshops. Many companies active in this sector cannot do without IT anymore.

Keeping a physical shop running requires a lot of hardware and software. Logical essential components are a network and the implementation of security tools, but you can also increase efficiency, for instance, with hand scanners, intelligent cameras and self-scanning checkouts. Software can also be very useful for retail. Think product registration, accounting, or comprehensive ERP systems.
