Calicut & Kochi to host retail shows


Kochi, Sept 25: The Hyderabad-based business media firm, VIN Media, is organizing tradeshows and business sessions on technology adoption in Kochi and Calicut in November.
Being organised with an objective to showcase and educate small and medium retailers the advantages of technology adoption in streamlining retail business processes, cut costs and give better customer experience, the Retail Tech Shows are scheduled on November 15 and 16 in Calicut and November 24 and 25 in Kochi.
According to VIN Media, Not only that conventional retailing is declining, the small and medium retailers in Kerala, like their counterparts in other parts of the country, are also being challenged by large organised retailers setting up stores in all major cities and towns in the state. One of the proven survival strategies for small and medium retailers in this fiercely competitive retail business is adopting and using Information Technology to run their stores.
While big retailers in India have a strong IT backbone, Small and medium retailers are also realizing the importance IT and it advantages, feels Vinod Menon of VIN Media. IT is about enabling the retailer to serve his customers better and for customers, it's about getting faster, quality services and getting the fun out of shopping.
One of the favourable factors in adopting retail technology is availability of cost effective retail technology solutions developed by small technology companies in India. These companies have developed tailor retail solutions for the small and medium retailers. The commonly used retail technologies by retailer are point of sales machines & solutions, barcode solutions and retail software and related technologies.
For small and medium retailers to successfully adopt IT, it is essential that they investigate and understand IT and explore the right technology
