The New Retail Era
The retail industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by economic challenges and evolving consumer behaviors in the post pandemic era. This shift has accelerated the transition to e-commerce and underscored the need for effective omnichannel retail strategies. The industry faces a skilled labour shortage, which poses a substantial barrier to growth. To address these challenges, retailers and training institutions must collaborate closely to develop relevant training programmes that equip the workforce with essential skills for the future. Employers and employees are encouraged to leverage various government schemes for talent development and skills enhancement. Embracing advanced retail technologies and mastering omnichannel strategies will be crucial for the industry's long-term success and sustainability.

What Really Matters…Is An Experiential Retailing Journey!
The retail industry was hard hit by COVID-19. Retailers who have begun digital transformation with robust e-commerce sites and retail technologies were able to make changes to pivot their operations to adapt to the COVID restrictions, meet new customer needs, and generate sales. Others who have not yet started digital transformation or no e-commerce platform lost revenue and customers. Therefore, retailers saw the need to develop new retail in their businesses, an integrated retail delivery model which converges digital and offline experiences using omni-channel strategies to enhance customer experience. In this online-merge offline (OMO) model, retailers tried to make shopping not just about the in-store experience, website, or mobile shopping, but about every experience the customer has with the brand at every touchpoint. The change of the retail direction has brought retailers to examine the shift of customer behaviour, the data which provides business insights, the customer journey they need to create, and the digitalisation of business operations to enhance efficiency and consistency.
