Video surveillance systems, the driving force behind the Digital Transformation of the Retail Industry

Dec 5, 2022

With the e-Commerce boom, consumers today are more demanding. From any device connected to the network, they are able to compare features, prices, know the ratings of other customers and make a decision even without physically seeing the product.

Despite the trend towards digitalization, retail is committed to adopting an omnichannel strategy, where stores are transformed into spaces where they can offer “unique experiences” to their customers.
