Retail
Stay competitive with digital innovation
Trends in retail
The retail market is changing. Customer expectations continue to rise, margins are under pressure, labour is scarce and ‘traditional’ business models are struggling. As a retailer, how do you deal with these challenges? And how do you ensure a sustainable and durable business model? With low-code, you take a step in the right direction and accelerate digital innovation.
Low-code & Retail
Low-code is the solution for retailers to innovate quickly and meet changing customer needs. For instance, low-code makes it easy to develop mobile apps for personalised and digital shopping experiences. You also automate complex back-end processes with low-code. Important processes which help you reduce operational costs. For the use of low-code within retail, we previously saw the following uses and applications:
