For 30 years RIS has been benchmarking retail’s tech maturity with its annual Retail Technology Study. For the 30th anniversary we carry on the tradition and dive deep into the modern retail tech stack, exploring more than 80 different technologies. See where the industry stands in key tech segments like store systems, supply chain and digital operations, and learn how data is helping redefine these vital systems, as well as retail as we know it. Compare your tech preparedness against the industry’s best, and see where smart tech investments are being placed now and where they will be allocated in the future.
