And this week we’re focusing on Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions which has announced its sponsorship of the Retailers Lounge at Retail Technology Show for the third consecutive year.

The event, set to take place on 24th-25th April, at Olympia London, will bring together retail trailblazers, uniting the region’s foremost retailers and tech innovators.

The Retailers Lounge is a space designed exclusively for retailers, providing a place for relaxation and refreshment during the two-day event.

This year, Toshiba will introduce an Innovation Zone within the lounge, inviting attendees to explore the following technologies:

  1. Vision Kiosk: As interest in non-traditional payments grows, Toshiba’s new self-service solution uses computer vision and biometric technology to deliver a low friction checkout.

  2. ELERA Commerce Platform: A commerce platform with a suite of solutions that can free retailers from legacy constraints to optimise operations, streamline processes and enhance customer satisfaction.

  3. VisualStore Commerce Platform: A unified platform which integrates various channels into the customer relationship management process so that shoppers receive a truly personalised experience.

“Our passion for the retail industry drives our investments towards a future where retailers can effectively tackle challenges such as labour shortages, loss prevention and inventory management,” says Andrew McDaniel, Managing Director and SVP of Europe, Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions.

“Our focus is on empowering retailers to identify and respond to the evolving needs of their business and customers, creating elevated experiences within and beyond the store.”
