HOBOKEN, N.J. (PRWEB) January 04, 2018

A NYC area retail technology consultant and MSP discusses the challenges and opportunities for smaller stores concerned about keeping up with retail technology in a new article on the eMazzanti Technologies website.

The company lists its recommendations for retail technology basics and how smaller retailers should proceed to select a technology provider.

In the informative article, the firm, recognized as the top ranked retail-focused MSP in the U.S., also gives examples of retail technology employed by larger stores such as interactive games, Bluetooth beacons and audio branding. Customer experience is cited as the primary retail technology driver.

“Retail customers now expect a technology-driven experience,” stated Jennifer Mazzanti, CEO of eMazzanti Technologies. “Smaller retailers must leverage affordable technologies to wow customers and stay competitive.”

Below are a few excerpts from the article, “Smaller Retailers: Keeping Up with Technology.”

“Modern retailing is becoming less about location and more about customer experience. That means having the basics, like up-to-date credit card terminals, is expected now just to be in the game. To compete effectively, retailers must provide more. Often, for smaller retailers, keeping up with technology is the key.”

“Flagship stores—bigger, more impressive stores that showcase a retailer’s brands—lead the way with retail technology. Some offer interactive games, numerous digital screens, exclusive tech accessories, or may personalize merchandise on the spot.”

Retail Technology Basics· “Security – Retailers need up-to-date cyber-security technology to block hackers who employ sophisticated technologies of their own, like keystroke loggers and RAM scrapers to collect credit card numbers and other data.”

· “PCI compliance – Having the right payment technology, including proper installation is required by all the major credit cards. PCI compliance helps protect today’s chip and PIN cards and consumers.”
