Hello Omni Talk Fans! Sure we're coming off a long weekend filled with sparklers, hard seltzers, and Super Soakers, but there's no holiday hangover here for the Omni Talk team.
We landed this interview with Trigo VP Yair Holtzer just before the break and it's not to be missed. If there's one thing we're hearing time and time again from the experts we've interviewed here at Omni Talk, it's that we should expect checkout free stores to become the "norm" within the next few years. Yair explains how U.S. retailers should be approaching this tech and shares examples of the success their European retail partners, Tesco and Rewe Group have had so far in doing so.
