Retail

“The retail train is heading down a siding at breakneck speed, and only the timely intervention of IT’s sophisticated signaling and switch gear can get it back on track” -  Forrester.

AppLabs understands that for retail it is the detail that matters. It is not accurate for us to generalize the trends that are tiding the retail industry as a whole and propose solutions thereon. For instance, the IT strategy of a fashion apparel retailer will and should be different from that of a multinational grocery retailer. At AppLabs, we truly appreciate this detail which we believe is the kernel of our continued customer successes with some of the largest retail giants in the world.
 
AppLabs testing and quality assurance solution for retail covers the entire retail IT landscape including in-store solutions, enterprise management, and warehouse management.

With globalization and increased competition, retailers worldwide are faced with lack of right information, at right time and at right place. This can be achieved only through reliable integration across applications as well as increased collaboration throughout the retail value chain. Also, the retail IT landscape is ever changing because of changing market conditions, changing regulations, mergers & acquisitions and multiple channels to reach customers. These systems become more unreliable and inaccurate each time organizations try to tweak them to fit new business imperatives. All too often, the alignment of technology with business objectives gets bogged down by integration problems and progresses no further than the white board.
 
These have lead to increasing spending on testing services. Today, most of the retailers either don't have or have an immature testing process in place essentially because this is not their core-competency. In today’s world a retailer needs a reliable testing partner, who understands their business and has proven expertise. AppLabs has been addressing the business needs partnering with retailers big and small providing them with its testing solutions, helping customers get a truly independent view, access to the best minds in testing, faster time to market, and improved solution all at a competitive price.
