Verizon Business Partners with Deloitte Bring 5G to Retail

February 10, 2021
SupplyChainBrain

Verizon Business and Deloitte have teamed up to launch a 5G and mobile edge computing digital platform for retailers. The platform can unlock retail in-store data with near real-time analytics to improve customer engagement and inventory efficiency.

Verizon’s 5G network and MEC, combined with technologies such as video camera and sensor-based analytics, artificial intelligence and augmented reality, are the foundational elements of the retail platform. The two organizations have developed a set of enterprise-wide use cases that can be enabled by the platform, a reference architecture that amplifies back-office application integration value and a customizable approach to accelerate outcomes and ROI.

Verizon Business and Deloitte are also collaborating with SAP to integrate SAP’s software suite into the platform, including SAP Customer Activity Repository and SAP S/4HANA.

“It’s an exciting moment to unveil this innovative retail collaboration with Deloitte and SAP,” said Tami Erwin, CEO of Verizon Business. “We are entering a new era of technology-led disruption at the exact same moment every retailer is looking to accelerate digital transformation, increase productivity and improve customer experiences. We’re ready to open the doors to Verizon’s transformative 5G and mobile edge compute platform and look forward to helping our customers reimagine everything from their employee experience and supply chain to end-customer use cases.”

The collaborative platform includes near real-time actionable intelligence to address out-of-stock shelf inventory management, where the platform generates automated replenishment notifications to in-store associates to refill shelves from the back of the house and alerts distribution centers to allocate additional inventory.

“The opportunity for 5G and MEC to enable frictionless retail experiences and improve asset productivity should have a seismic impact on the retail industry,” said Anthony Stephan, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP, and US Consulting consumer industry lead. “Our collaboration with Verizon Business and SAP enables us to efficiently and effectively address the concerns of retailers today, providing a best-in-class digital transformation experience that can respond and deliver at the speed of 5G.”
