“Our customers have a very short window to engage with our stores, whether they’re grabbing a meal or making a last-minute purchase before a flight,” Noor explained. “That means our technology must support fast, frictionless interactions while maintaining absolute reliability.”
This is where cloud-native software solutions come into play. By leveraging cloud architecture, retailers can quickly deploy updates, integrate
real-time data, and ensure uptime across thousands of locations. AI-driven analytics further enhance operations, allowing for personalized customer experiences, optimized inventory management, and predictive decision-making.
“AI is allowing us to move beyond basic transactions,” Noor shared. “We can now anticipate customer needs, streamline checkout processes, and provide a more connected retail experience, even in environments where time is a constraint.”
With retailers in travel hubs facing growing complexity, success will come down to resilient, scalable, and intelligent technology.
