Sean Valant — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 18:14:11 +0000

Brick and mortar retail has undergone a seismic shift, compelled to adapt in response to the pervasive rise and demand for eCommerce. Businesses are adapting both by recalibrating how they operate their physical locations and by adopting their own ecommerce strategies. They are approaching both methods by leveraging technology.
