"Retail success depends on the reliable operation of several interconnected systems, each critical at different stages of the customer's in-store experience: Digital Signage and Loyalty Apps ensure engaging, personalized shopping by displaying relevant promotions and helping customers track rewards. Employee Terminals and Handhelds facilitate product lookups, inventory checks, and mobile point-of-sale transactions. Point of Sale (POS) Systems handle the mechanics of payment, receipt printing, and transaction completion. BOPIS (Buy Online Pickup in Store) Workflows integrate online and in-store channels to deliver a seamless fulfillment process."
"New Relic doesn't just watch these systems; it actively keeps them performing at their best through a range of high-value capabilities: Real-Time Monitoring ensures every component, from handheld scanners to backend servers, is closely tracked. IT teams get immediate alerts if anything operates outside of normal parameters, enabling them to take quick action. Proactive Issue Resolution helps identify potential bottlenecks or disruptions like slow POS systems or syncing errors before they impact customers, allowing teams to resolve issues before they escalate."
Retail in-store experiences rely on interconnected systems including digital signage, loyalty apps, employee terminals, handhelds, POS systems, and BOPIS workflows. Observability platforms monitor network connectivity, backend services, and device health to maintain seamless operations. Real-time monitoring tracks components and triggers immediate alerts when metrics deviate from norms. Proactive issue resolution identifies bottlenecks like slow POS or syncing errors before customer impact occurs. Performance optimization applies data-driven insights to improve workflows and system responsiveness. Connecting system health to business outcomes enables retailers to prioritize fixes that protect revenue and enhance customer satisfaction.
