Rapidly developing smart retail will see three major trends in 2019, including an emphasis on the human side of business, according to CC Liu, secretary general of Asia AIoT Alliance.
Liu stressed that tech development originates from human nature, with all tech designs aimed at providing consumers with greater convenience. Accordingly designers must grasp users' situations well to provide better services. He continued that Amazon unmanned stores, for instance, allow consumers to take things from the store without having to pay at the counter.
The second trend is creating more convenient UI (user interface) and more friendly UX (user experience) to facilitate purchases, Liu said, adding that based on consumer psychology, consuming is quite an impulsive behavior and therefore how to shorten the transaction process will be crucial for further upgrades in smart retail operations.
The third trend is that smart retail will entail AI as the core. Liu said that AI is not almighty but serve as a helper to decision making. AI can be utilized to analyze big data to provide references for managers in handling distribution, pricing, marketing and new product development, while also further predicting market trends and facilitating customized services, according to Liu.

For almost a decade, we’ve talked about wanting to modernize enterprise software user interfaces (UI) to match consumer software, but we’ve gone about it the wrong way. The modernization of UI was proposed as a solution to meet the increased expectations that enterprise software should be as simple to use and nice to navigate as the applications we use at home from any device. But investing in software UI that merely looks beautiful is a waste of time and resources.

Technology and innovation are changing the commerce landscape. Businesses can either evolve or face disruption due to mediocrity.
Today, technology shapes every aspect of our lives – communication, commerce, education, and the list goes on. This revolution has disrupted industries as a whole, challenging established practices and beliefs. One of these disruptions is commerce through brick-and-mortar establishments. You can do so much more using technology than by relying on the traditional in-store experience.

To build a storefront of the future, you need to digitize the way you do business. That means investing in systems that help you build a modern storefront that is open to any and all customers, online or offline. Let's take a walk through next-gen retail tech that might reshape your business in the years to come.

In product design or user experience design, we are much more familiar with techniques such as user interviews, questionnaires in the initial phase. The raw data collected by the requirement gathering methods are then synthesized by competitor analysis, user flows, use cases, heuristic evaluations. We visualize this information by persona generation and designing visual designs to visualize how the actual product going to be. Somewhere on the line, we have to consider the actual users who will be using this application as well. The world that the real users live in may differ from how we imagine it to be. The proper understanding of how the product that the designers create will help the real users who are outside the development environment would be a definite plus to creating better engaging and usable products.

For brands to thrive in the digital age, merely doling out exemplary products and services is certainly not enough. It's the era of the user (customer) and giving a superior user experience (UX) has become an imperative formula that dictates brand success.
User experience (UX) is the field of design that organises and aligns all the interfaces of a company, such that a customer eases his way through the digital platform. Sharan Grandigae, founder and CEO of Redd, a UX design company, says UX is the best indicator of the clarity of vision of a company's promoters, the efficiency of operations and profitability of the company. "A company whose primary business interface with its customers is digital, cannot ignore getting this right, as UX can increase conversion and referrals and reduce operational costs."

"I want to focus on revenue again with you this week because, not only is it great for your bottom line, but it’s a lot of fun!
One current e-commerce client of ours had some great mobile traffic but a really poor conversion rate. Despite getting great numbers, they just weren’t seeing the revenue they should have been. We did a simple UX fix and that caused organic mobile revenue to rise 600%!"
