In-store technologies like RFID inventory systems, AI checkout, and smart mirrors are driving 8–11% conversion lifts, while optimizing return workflows has cut reverse logistics costs by 23%.

Click-and-collect orders (BOPIS) are up 42% YoY, reflecting shifting shopper expectations for flexibility. On the backend, unified commerce platforms are reducing inventory write-offs and streamlining fulfillment by syncing data across POS, e-commerce, and warehouse systems. AI-driven merchandising engines are further boosting gross margin by 2–4 percentage points through predictive replenishment.
