• Return optimization: As e-commerce grows at a record pace, optimizing and reducing returns is increasingly becoming a priority for brands and retailers. 
• Digital Product Design: Increasing demand for fast fashion is being met with calls for sustainability and inclusivity in apparel—creating challenges for fashion brands and retailers. 
• Connected Merchandise: In a world that is increasingly connected Retail is not. IoT product-level tracking merges the online and offline experience, delivering game-changing retail experiences. 
• Marketing Campaigns: Retailers and shopping centers are losing hundreds of billions of dollars in sales annually due to unoptimized marketing campaigns. 
• Mixed Reality Experiences: As consumers continue to shop more from the home due to the Covid-19 pandemic, retailers will likely increasingly turn to augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) to create engaging marketing content and customer experiences. 
• Digital Supply Chain: The past decade has seen tremendous growth in supply chain cost, efficiency, and strategic proximity-to-market maneuvering — however, the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed a substantial vulnerability in those supply chains that did not also prioritize resilience.
