When it comes to point-of-sale innovation, the number of ways that we're seeing new technologies seamlessly integrated is astonishing; from wearables to NFC, shopping has gone digital to the delight of consumers on a worldwide basis. As the shift towards more economical ways of keep track of purchases, point-of-sale innovations are placing simplicity front and center, but also ensuring the experience is as fun as possible.
The rise of eCommerce has lead to a shift in the real life buying habits of shoppers; while they might want something now, they could be more likely to hold off to get it online at a better price. As such, retailers are scrambling to incorporate point-of-sale innovations that are putting consumers back in the mood to buy.
