| Retail leading the pack in digital transformation “As the physical and digital worlds continue to merge, it is becoming clear that as a retailer it is all about that providing the consumer with that consistent brand experience to strengthen that relationship and help them in their path to purchase.” This was the consistent messaging at the recent World Retail congress in Rome.
