Whitepaper:
Next Retail Store

Will we still be shopping for ourselves tomorrow?

Retail Reimagined

How retail is regaining its relevance with “store as a hub” and “store as entertainment”

Brick-and-mortar retail is undergoing one of the most significant transformations since supermarkets and discount stores emerged. Our white paper outlines two pioneering concepts for future retail spaces: 'Store as Hub' and 'Store as Entertainment'. These concepts offer practical solutions to the challenges that the retail industry is facing as a result of AI, automation, labour shortages and new consumer expectations.

These two concepts demonstrate how retail spaces are evolving from simple sales outlets into hybrid platforms for logistics, social interactions, and brand experiences, supported by modern technologies and data intelligence, as well as new job roles.

What you can expect from the whitepaper:

  • Store as a hub:
    How autonomous transport solutions, AI agents, and automated warehouse processes are transforming retail spaces into high-tech logistics hubs.
  • Store as entertainment:
    Why the shopping experience, brand presentation, and personal advice are becoming key differentiators—and what role digital platform models play.
  • Technology as an enabler:
    Which IT architectures are necessary to seamlessly orchestrate data, processes, and services across company boundaries.
  • Strategic recommendations for action:
    What decision makers need to do now to implement new business models and space concepts economically – from data core to event-driven architecture to AI-supported services.
