Intel: Welcome to the Future of Retail, Where the Store Responds to You

At Intel, we believe in the transformative power of data and that intelligent data management for real-time insights isn’t just a competitive advantage, but a strategic imperative. Our goal is to help retailers – from brick-and-mortar to online – unify and connect every single shopping experience, respond more effectively to customers and reinvent the retail experience.

At last year’s NRF, Intel announced responsive retail IoT technologies and a $100 million investment in advancing retail innovation. One year later, we are seeing measurable results as our responsive technologies have been adopted by retailers in nearly 60 stores with 2,000 sensors and 26 partners aligned to the vision to scale in a variety of environments. Through Intel Capital, investments were made in robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) automation. Intel has activated the retail ecosystem, delivering off-the-shelf market-ready solutions and addressing some of retail’s biggest challenges: changing the way consumers shop, accelerating automation and managing businesses.
