Through her work at Pomeroy, Jay aims to empower retailers to embrace technological advancements, ultimately fostering a more interactive and personalized shopping environment for consumers. Throughout the conversation, Jay emphasizes the significance of trying out new technologies, understanding current infrastructure and hardware capabilities, and the need for retailers to adapt and pivot easily. “Retailers are only able to move as fast as their environments allow. You could have the latest idea on RFID and being able to use AI in your cashier's ears. However, if you don't have the right broadband or you don't have the right ecosystem for that technology to succeed and work, then all you're doing is taxing systems that are already taxed.” - Jay Shields Resources mentioned in this episode: * Ray Ban Meta Glasses: To learn more about the innovative Ray Ban glasses mentioned in the conversation, visit https://www.ray-ban.com/usa/ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses * Pomeroy: To explore the latest retail technology solutions, including mobile point of sale systems, customer engagement tools, and infrastructure support, visit: www.pomeroy.com * LinkedIn: Connect with Jay Shields on LinkedIn for industry insights, updates on Pomeroy's initiatives, and to engage in discussions about retail technology and innovation: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jay-shields-1a75945/ * Connect with us on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/rethink-industries/ * For more retail insights visit www.rethink.industries * If you enjoyed this episode, please let us know by subscribing to our channel and giving us a 5 star rating on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Goodpods! – – – – – – Hosted and produced by Gabriella Bock
