Thanks to social media and online advertising, consumers are constantly bombarded with buying opportunities from multiple companies offering similar services. On the surface, there may be very little to distinguish between retailers but once the consumer embarks on their buying journey the differences start to appear.  

To ensure shoppers complete their purchase and become repeat customers, retailers need to make the process a top priority. Some retailers are doing everything they can to personalise the experience and make it require as few steps as possible. 

Yet this requires continuous testing and while some retailers have automated the process others are still testing their systems manually or have still to turn the results into action  

In this Retail Systems webinar, we were joined by the following expert speakers to examine some of the steps retailers can take to ensure that their customers have the smoothest buying journey at a time when many are cutting back due to the cost-of-living crisis.

Digital Transformation in Retail

At a time of increasing budgetary constraints and increasing competition from upstart challengers, incumbent financial services institutions (FSI's) need systems that can keep up with consumer demands at all hours of the day.  

There is no magic wand that can be waved to ensure that systems keep up with new regulations, changing consumer behaviour or new payment methods. Over reliance on legacy systems – whether that is due to lack of executive buy-in or simply the absence of funds – can lead many organisations to bolt on quick fixes which lead to increased risk of failure.  

However, if they are properly maintained, tested regularly and expertise about them is transferred effectively, legacy systems can prove effective in running a wide range of operations in financial services without needing to fully overhaul the tech stack.  

In this webinar we will examine some of the steps FSIs have already taken to rigorously monitor and test systems – both manually and with AI-powered automation – while satisfying the concerns of regulators and customers.
