3 Vertiv Products to Transform Your Retail Business

Retail business is not just about selling quality products at reasonable prices. It goes beyond that.

It’s about creating a seamless experience between the consumer and the brand. But for retailers to remain competitive and agile in an ever-evolving market, they need to embrace a scalable digital strategy to optimize their infrastructure; not just in-store, but at every touchpoint, including online and at distribution centers.

This is why retailers are adopting edge computing and technologies to transform the way they do business. In fact, research by Vertiv and Data Center Dynamics revealed 26% of retail companies are just beginning to adopt customer-centric technology, while 42% are progressing in the digital transformation.

While adopting new technologies helps increase visibility into actionable data, it can also be a huge undertaking navigating the complexities and costs to upgrade an infrastructure.

With your local Vertiv office as your partner, it doesn’t have to be this way. Here are 3 Vertiv products to use as a part of your digital transformation strategy.
