About
Commerce (retail) makes the world go around, and technology makes commerce go around. The use of technology in commerce and retail is not new, however the pace of change is not only continuing it's actually picking up with the new AI revolution in Generative AI impacting every side of the business from consumer facing to back-end, wholesale, transportation, supply chain and more.
Keeping on top of what is happening - what is available, AND what is changing, is a daunting task, specially on the technology side.
