What's Inside

Over the next few years, retailers face an uphill task of adapting to the new shopper’s changed preferences and shopping habits in the post-Covid era. We explore the importance of agility in merchandising—in other words, the ability to respond to changing market trends and consumer behavior. We present three key actions that retailers must take in 2022 to achieve effective merchandising execution while ensuring shopper-centricity.

This report leverages findings from an October 2021 Coresight Research survey of global retail merchandising decision-makers in grocery and drugstore retail. Our analysis and insights cover the following topics:

• The use of software/digital platforms for space management and planning
• Merchandising areas/processes that retailers believe need a technology upgrade
• The future-proofing of merchandising capabilities

This free report is sponsored by One Door, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered cloud-based retail merchandising execution platform.
