The retail industry stands at an inflection point. As we gather at the NRF 2026 Big Show, retailers face unprecedented challenges: rapidly shifting consumer behaviors, mounting operational pressures, and the relentless demand for profitable growth. The difference between retailers who thrive and those who struggle increasingly comes down to one critical capability: the ability to transform foot traffic into actionable intelligence that drives measurable business outcomes.

At RetailNext, we're introducing a new vision for retail success: Innovation. Agility. Impact. These three pillars define how forward-thinking retailers adapt and excel in today's dynamic marketplace. We empower retailers to continuously innovate through data-driven insights, enhance operational agility to respond instantly to change, and drive measurable impact that flows directly to the bottom line.

The Power Of Strategic Retail Intelligence

Traditional traffic counting tells you how many people entered your store. Strategic retail intelligence reveals why they came, what they did, and most importantly, what drove them to purchase or walk away empty-handed. Our AI-powered platform consolidates multiple retail analytics capabilities into one unified solution, delivering the comprehensive visibility that modern retail demands.

Consider this: converting just one additional customer out of every 100 who already walk through your doors creates exponential profitability gains. We call this "The Power of 1%." This isn't theoretical; it's proven mathematics that has transformed retailers globally. When Macy's implemented our platform to create an enterprise-wide conversion culture, they didn't just improve metrics, they transformed how every team member, from executive leadership to store associates, thinks about and acts on customer engagement.

Innovation Through AI-Powered Precision

Innovation in retail requires more than intuition; it demands precision. Our Aurora sensors deliver industry-leading accuracy between 95 and 99 percent, powered by advanced AI that continuously learns and adapts to your unique environment. This isn't simply about counting; it's about understanding the complete customer journey from entry to purchase to exit.

The platform's real-time analytics provide predictive recommendations through our proven test-and-learn methodology. Rather than rolling out untested concepts across your entire portfolio, you can validate initiatives in select locations first. UNTUCKit leveraged this approach to achieve 40% IT infrastructure savings while simultaneously improving shopper yield by 18%. They didn't just reduce costs; they enhanced performance through strategic, data-validated decisions.

Agility That Responds To Real-Time Reality

Market conditions change daily. Customer preferences shift weekly. Competition evolves constantly. Retailers need agility to respond not next quarter, but today. Our cloud-native platform delivers real-time insights that enable immediate action across every department: operations adjusts staffing to match actual traffic patterns, marketing validates campaign effectiveness within hours of launch, merchandising optimizes layouts based on observed customer flow, and asset protection responds to emerging loss patterns before they become problems.

This agility extends beyond individual stores. For multi-location retailers, our platform enables portfolio-wide visibility that reveals performance variations across regions, formats, and markets. You can identify what works in specific locations and rapidly scale successful initiatives while avoiding costly mistakes. Sharaf DG uses our multi-brand intelligence capabilities to optimize each brand within their complex retail environments, achieving targeted improvements that would be impossible with conventional analytics.

Impact That Transforms Performance

Every insight our platform delivers connects directly to measurable business impact. When The Vitamin Shoppe deployed our solution, they generated $6 million in additional sales within the first seven months. Boggi Milano increased shopper yield by 40% while improving conversion by five full points. Camper achieved 30% savings in marketing spend and labor costs while simultaneously increasing conversion by 10%.

These aren't isolated success stories. They represent consistent outcomes across diverse retail categories and markets. Our platform currently serves over 560 retailers across more than 100 countries, with partnerships extending beyond 10 years. This global footprint provides unmatched perspective on what drives retail success across different cultures, markets, and consumer behaviors.

Unified Intelligence For Complex Challenges

Modern retail operations involve multiple stakeholders with distinct but interconnected needs. Technology teams require streamlined deployment and integration. Analytics leaders demand comprehensive data visibility. Store operations needs actionable recommendations. Executive leadership wants strategic insights that inform major decisions. Our unified platform addresses all these requirements through a single, integrated solution.

For technology leaders, our cloud-native architecture minimizes infrastructure requirements while ensuring enterprise-grade security with SOC 2 Type II compliance. Native API integration capabilities connect seamlessly with existing POS, security, and business intelligence systems. Instead of managing multiple vendors and data streams, IT teams work with one strategic partner that consolidates complexity into clarity.

Marketing and merchandising teams gain complete visibility into customer behavior patterns, with privacy-compliant tracking that respects GDPR and CCPA requirements. Heat mapping reveals how customers navigate your space, which displays capture attention, and where friction points impede conversion. These insights enable rapid iteration and refinement of strategies before committing to large-scale changes.

Building Tomorrow's Retail Today

As we look ahead at NRF 2026 and beyond, the retail landscape will continue evolving at unprecedented speed. Success requires more than reacting to change; it demands anticipating and shaping it. Our strategic partnership approach ensures your analytics capabilities evolve alongside your business needs. We're not simply a technology vendor; we're a long-term partner invested in your sustained success.

The platform's predictive analytics capabilities help you stay ahead of emerging trends rather than chasing them. By understanding not just what happened but what's likely to happen next, you can position inventory, staff, and resources proactively. This forward-looking intelligence transforms retail operations from reactive to strategic, from defensive to opportunistic.
