Hello and welcome to May: in review

The world has been adapting to Covid-19 for a couple of months now and as the ‘new norm’ takes hold. Lock-down rules are being eased in several countries, with many businesses gradually beginning to re-open – particularly those in retail.

Customer buying habits have changed, and it’s unlikely these will be temporary. The next few months will pave the way for many retailers to assess the operational costs of managing their stores in such a different way. From introducing social distancing signage and queuing management to offering more frictionless and touch-less checkout options many will be on a fast learning curve. Having the right IT infrastructure in place gives you the agility to adapt to these new market conditions quickly.

This blog focuses on some of those retailers that have made changes to their businesses in response to Covid-19 throughout May.
