RTIH retail technology awards: Best coronavirus innovation

The third edition of the RTIH Innovation Awards is now open for entries.

The awards, sponsored by leading technology service provider PMC, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

There are 14 categories this year, including Best coronavirus innovation, sponsored by Critizr.

The pandemic has had a major impact on the way that we shop and the way that retailers operate.

This award will go to the company who has best turned to technology to solve the challenges presented by the Covid-19 era, improving in-store and/or online experiences for both staff and customers.

Last year, Ocucon emerged triumphant, impressing our judging panel with Occupi by Ocucon, an intelligent occupancy management system that allows retailers to remotely monitor and manage the flow of shoppers in and out of their stores – coordinated via signage, CCTV and door entry and closing systems.

To be in with a chance of joining them in our hall of fame, fill out the entry form at the end of this article. It’s free to enter and deadline for submissions is 5th November.
