The retail industry is continually innovating and with it, so does the need for technology. TPP Retail is a true partner to national retailers, and this makes us perfectly positioned to recognise early technology demand and quickly identify synergies between the goals and challenges that retailers face. Time and again, this leads us to create new solutions and scour the market for emerging technologies that answer a specific need. Most recently this led James to pemberton.digital and its smart occupancy solution providing retailers with a detailed view of customer volumes and flow - Supporting better operations, resourcing and store design. Partnering with pemberton.digital, we’re excited to launch customer pilots that really prove the technology impact as we also lend our experience working with the UK’s largest retail brands to support Pemberton’s journey. Watch this space as we share more about this latest innovation in the coming weeks… #retailinnovation #retailtech #retailindusty #techinnovation #technologypartner

I've had the privilege of working closely with our retail partners to help them overcome challenges and seize opportunities in an ever-changing market. One trend that's become increasingly clear is the importance of adaptability and innovation. In recent conversations with our partners, I've noticed a common thread: the retailers who are doing well are those who are willing to embrace change and try new approaches. Whether it's implementing new logistics solutions, experimenting with experiential retail concepts, or leveraging data to personalise the customer journey, the most successful retailers are the ones who aren't afraid to break the norm. #RetailInnovation #SupplyChainSolutions #CustomerExperience #RetailLogistics #PFLPartners #BringLuxuryHome
