The Retail industry is a dynamic, and constantly evolving. Whereas ecommerce has played an increasingly vital role in recent years, its influence has risen significantly with recent events. Consumers have flocked to the internet to order goods at an unprecedented rate, dramatically elevating demand and technology requirements among retailers – especially when it comes to logistics and distribution. Consumers expect a real-time understanding of product availability, the ability to easily track purchased items from point to point, and an efficient delivery time. Retail’s distribution centers and warehouses are under pressure to meet these requirements. To do so, a cloud-driven network solution is necessary, to securely enable the systems, users, devices and applications to connect and maintain retail’s critical distribution operations. Customers expect high performance from retail networks—whether they are trying to complete an ecommerce transaction, make a purchase in person, utilize an in-store kiosk, or use a store’s wireless access point to access information via mobile phone. Any cybersecurity technology that reduces network performance will negatively impact customer experience and/or decrease employee productivity.

The retail industry faces unprecedented technology challenges when it comes to distribution and the supply chain. Implementing the right platforms, has never been more critical.
With more shoppers turning to ecommerce for of purchase goods, leveraging strategic, interconnected digital platforms to stay on top of supply and demand is crucial to a retail business. When it comes to digital transformation in retail, more so in distribution and the supply chain, having the visibility into on-hand merchandise and establishing a link between data centers and distribution centers is a major challenge.
Capacity management and readiness are a significant undertaking. This includes the operational capacity to support influxes of goods going in and out of distribution centers; it includes the network capacity to keep manufacturing devices and users connected at all times – even as assets move and the conditions in the environment change – to prevent any disruptions in service.
Scaling for future demands as volume increases on a day-to-day basis is another obstacle. Demand has skyrocketed to unprecedented levels, making scalability markedly challenging to solve. For retailers and their distribution centers, this could mean scaling out to seamlessly bring new business sites online, scaling best practices across the business from one part of the organization into another, and scaling out through interconnections with internal and external platforms and ecosystems. All of these go-forward challenges and goals require a flexible, adaptable, open platform. In the same vein, reliability of transportation in moving product from one place to another is a critical function.
