"Retailers are under extreme pressure in this volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world.

Toshiba's total solutions across hardware, software, and services enable retailers to unify their digital and physical experiences to address their unique needs as retail evolves. "We are always creating, and NRF is the perfect opportunity to share innovations supporting the rapidly evolving retail market," says Fredrik Carlegren, VP of Marketing & Communications, Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions. "Every shopper deserves the best possible experience, and we empower retailers with the technology and know-how to reimagine and deliver unified retail experiences that create meaningful, personalized interactions with each shopper meeting their preferences.”
