From store systems to operational platforms

Across recent retail trade fairs and industry events, one shift is clear:

What we will talk about

In this session, Ivo Ølstørn from Onitio and Søren Brammer Riis from Fiftytwo translate the most relevant retail technology developments into practical implications for your infrastructure, integration strategy, and store operations.

No trend lists without context. No innovation theatre. Only what impacts your IT roadmap.

Why join?

Retail IT leaders are under pressure to:

  • Modernize legacy POS
  • Support unified commerce
  • Integrate new services without destabilizing operations
  • Enable AI without rebuilding everything

This session is based on key retail technology themes presented across major industry trade fairs and events in 2026.

It translates current market direction into practical implications for store architecture, integration strategy, and operational stability.

The objective is simple: Build a retail platform that performs every day in real stores.
