NRF Recap 2023
It was a bustling three days in the Zebra booth at NRF 2023 where we showcased the latest products and solutions designed for the retail industry. We featured two showcase customers, Lowe’s and Vera Bradley, who highlighted how they are using Zebra to digitally transform their store operations through hardware and software. This year at NRF we also introduced The Modern Store, a vision for how retail operations leaders can solve their most pressing challenges: engaging associates, optimizing inventory and elevating the customer experience. Our framework meets retailers where they are on their modernization journey and enables them to better plan, prioritize and implement solutions to achieve critical outcomes.
Engaged Associates
Labor is your largest expense and rising wages along with scarcity demands a smarter operation. Aligning with what makes operational execution most efficient will drive profits and make for more engaged associates.
Optimized Inventory
Inventory is your largest investment and also a major element of customer satisfaction. It demands optimization. Understanding what best moves inventory to the customer on their terms will enhance the overall experience. The only way to achieve this is through better in-stock and order fulfillment.
Elevated Customer Experience
Customers' expectations are higher than ever, which results in a demand for more convenience. To get ahead, you’ll need to align with what drives customer satisfaction in every visit. Your best bet? Anywhere checkout.
