Inventory management, logistics and deliveries have become increasingly central issues for the retail sector and for consumers in their digitized everyday life. Shopping in store is closely linked to shopping online, where processes for e-commerce are moving into the in store shopping experience.

In combination with Visma Retail's strength in innovation and long experience of retail systems, we can jointly offer a concept that brings together key issues and resolve challenges that retailers face, says Magnus Nygren, CEO of NYCE Solutions AB.
