Billed as the world’s largest conference devoted to retail and e-commerce innovation, Shoptalk will cover “the rapid evolution of how consumers discover, shop and buy—from new technologies and business models to the latest trends in consumer behaviors, preferences and expectations.” On March 18, Coresight Research CEO and Founder Deborah Weinswig will emcee a startup competition between 15 innovative, early-stage companies at Shoptalk. Two winners will be announced, one chosen by a panel of judges and one by audience vote, and each will be awarded $25,000. Each day leading up to Shoptalk, Coresight Research will publish an overview of one of the participating startups’ technology solutions. In this report, we profile StoreDNA, which integrates brick-and-mortar store data from various sources—such as the point of sale, staff schedules and video feeds—into its digital dashboard. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution then provides retailers with recommendations on optimizing assortment, staff levels and store layout via its proprietary, artificial intelligence (AI)–based algorithm. On March 20, Weinswig will participate in “Overview of Retail and Ecommerce Innovation in China,” a session that will cover technology and business model advancements in areas such as checkout, payments, delivery, logistics, the Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics.
