The QBCS team at EuroCIS 2025
EuroCIS has taken place last month in Düsseldorf, Germany. With over 14,000 visitors from 95 countries and over 500 exhibitors from all around the world, retail technologies, trends, and solutions were showcased over a three-day period, reflecting the current pulse of retail.
Key focus areas included AI and its growing applicability in day-to-day retail operations, customer centricity, smart stores, sustainability, and cyber security. A separate pavilion was dedicated to drone technology, including applications in security and defense.
Retailers at the show were seeking maturity of solutions and speed to market, along with efficiency and lower cost of onboarding of new solutions. Vendors offered cloud based solutions and technology to address fast adoption and perpetual relevance in features and capabilities, to ensure that retailers’ needs are met continuously, without high cost upgrades and costly downtime.
