The world is changing and sometimes it happens so quicklythat we may even be out of time to learn about the appearance of trend, while it already completely captures the minds of entrepreneurs and developers. But are there so many world technological trends that can fundamentally change retail trade? No, there are only four:
1. Robots. Amazonhas been the leader in this areafor a long time. This companyhas been usingabout 45 thousand “iron employees” in warehouses for several years and has recently patented the packaging robot.
2. Delivery of goods using remote-piloted vehicles. The very same Amazon declared several years ago that by 2020 this option will be available to US residents. The company received permission to test the technology in the United States in March 2015.
3. Artificial intellect. It is impossible to ignoreAmazon with his Alexa, which can be used not only to answer questions or log in to a user’s account, but also to protect a user from impulse purchases.
4. Blockchain. The technology is recognized as one of six mega-trends that can have a huge influence on society in the next decade. For example CREDO, has developed its payment processing and provides factoring services to retail companies. In fact, CREDO offers entrepreneurs to refuse loans, in exchange for a ransom under the obligation of the entire consignment. And it also gives the opportunity to ordinary people who connect their bank card to the system to purchase this product with a significant discount. Today, CREDO is on the verge of launching an ICO. That means that anyone can not just become a partner or a client, but an investor as well. Buying “tokens” of the company will allow you to make profit from every transaction in the system, and blockchain will make this process honest and open.
From the technological trends listed above, the most interesting for the retail market is blockichain. The blockchain has good prospects and companies that have used the blockchain, such as CREDO, will in the future take their place on the winners’ podium, unseating those who did not readjust.
