New Challenges And How To Meet Them

[MUSIC PLAYING] PHIL WAHBA: While cloud computing might sound like a nerdy topic, it's actually an essential component now for retailers as they fight with Amazon. Cloud computing is helping major chains from Walmart and Nordstrom to Kohl's and Macy's have a much better handle on their inventory on who their customers are and how they work with vendors. So let's dive into this a little bit. If you have any doubts of how important cloud computing is, consider this. In 2018, Walmart announced that it was setting up enormous server farms. For a company of the size of Walmart, it was important to have that capability in-house and not rely on outside vendors. It allows them to have all the information they need to personalize their web page for you, to customize the offers that they'll make to you, and also to figure out what are the items that they should showcase on the web page that are most likely to get you to buy the products. Cloud computing doesn't just help improve the experience for shoppers. It also helps store managers. Take a company like Kohl's, which is making it a very top priority now for each individual Kohl's store to have its own assortment according to the needs of that market. It would not be able to do that without cloud computing, telling it what merchandise it needs at what time and at what store. And that is really what is helping Kohl's pull away from some of its competitors. A third component this is much tighter interaction with top vendors. Take the example of Nordstrom, which has a cloud computing system that helps it communicate more regularly and more closely with vendors like Coach and Levi's. And what that ends up doing for Nordstrom is that it knows what products are selling well more quickly. And it knows with products that it needs to phase out more quickly. And ultimately, that means fewer markdowns and fewer items sold at clearance, but also having more stock of items that are popular with shoppers.
