The latest issue of RTIH magazine focuses on influencers, AI, automation and 3D technology

The latest edition of RTIH magazine is here! And it’s essential reading, if we do say so ourselves…

In addition to the latest drop of our Top 100 Retail Technology Influencers List, issue number nine includes:

• Leigh Davidson, Managing Director and CRO at 3D Cloud, explains why retailers are investing in visual tools that reduce designer onboarding and design time, provide better qualified leads, and help shoppers follow through on purchases.

• RTIH gets the lowdown on xTool, a provider of desktop laser cutters, engravers, and now apparel printers and metalfabs.

• Does digital signage actually drive sales? A landmark retail media study says ‘yes’.

• Vineta Bajaj, Group CFO at Holland & Barrett, discusses AI, automation, and the end of gut instinct.

• As Retail Express releases a comprehensive guide to AI integration in retail, the company explains the first steps retailers can take to overcome fragmented data, move beyond legacy systems, and harness the full power of artificial intelligence.

• Commerce meets conversational AI: re-engineering the customer journey in an era of zero click discovery.

• Are self-checkouts killing the shopping experience? There was a time when they felt like a novelty, something futuristic and optional, tucked away at the end of a row of tills. Now, they’ve become the default experience in supermarkets and high street chains across the UK. And while some retailers are handling this shift well, others are leaving customers feeling more like suspects than shoppers.

• The hidden prompt problem: John-Pierre Kamel and Trevor Sumner discuss how AI shopping agents can be tricked - and what we must do about it.
