In today's digitally-driven retail industry, many businesses are looking for ways to increase efficiency and enhance customer experiences. As competition increases and consumer preferences change, retailers must simplify their processes.

One way retail and e-commerce businesses have done so successfully is by leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) retail solutions to empower revenue growth while optimizing operational workflows. Utilizing AWS Retail for your business can support accelerating business growth successfully.

Discover how to use AWS Retail to increase efficiency and scalability for your retail or e-commerce business and how to find the right IT partner to help support operations.

Leveraging AWS Retail Services to Accelerate Business Growth

Retail businesses constantly strive to improve customer experience while increasing sales profitability. Amazon Web Services (AWS) helps retailers improve their operations, stay competitive, and enhance customer experience using the latest technologies.

AWS Retail provides a suite of innovative services designed specifically for the retail sector. These services help retailers improve operations, drive sales, and reduce costs.

Below are three ways AWS Retail services can accelerate online retail sales growth.

• Customer personalization and engagement - AWS Retail solutions provide businesses with insights into customer preferences and tailor products to their unique interests. This can support greater customer engagement, enhance brand loyalty, and drive profitability.
• Reliable inventory tracking and management - Accurate and up-to-date inventory management is critical for success in any retail business. By employing the AWS Retail platform, you can leverage real-time data and analytics to optimize your inventory management, reduce inventory shortages, and improve your overall retail supply chain efficiency.
• Business scalability and flexibility - Using AWS Retail allows businesses to easily adjust to changes in their inventory demand. Therefore, it makes it easy for businesses to manage peak periods, such as holiday shopping. This ensures the business has the resources to meet customer demand.

Track and Use the Right Data

The AWS Retail industry often has a vast amount of competition from retailers. Due to this, it becomes imperative for AWS retailers to ensure they track, analyze, and focus on data that will drive business growth. For example, it can be important for your leadership to regularly track and review data to increase your retail metrics and profitability. This also streamlines getting to know your customers and conducting market research among your competitors.

Find Third-Party IT Support You Can Trust

For any AWS retailer, retaining the support of an outsourced managed services provider for their AWS platform is imperative.

Here are four considerations for vetting third-party IT support providers:

1. Research testimonials, certifications, and other AWS retailer experiences.
2. Inquire whether the provider helps oversee governance and ensure compliance for meeting regulations in the retail industry.
3. Ensure the provider specializes in cloud support, automation, and integration with AWS Retail solutions.
4. Consider working with an AWS Retail managed service provider that has earned AWS Retail Competency to fortify a reliant and secure cloud retail infrastructure.
