Retail Data Integration: 4 Software Tools to Consider

The proliferation of data from outside sources is increasingly becoming a boon for retailers who hunger for deeper insights into their customers’ behavior. As a result, organizations small and large are rapidly adopting Data Integration tools that help them in keeping up with demand for sensor, social media, payment and all other kinds of related data. The more a retailer can learn about customer buying choices and patterns, the better they can aim to serve them, resulting in more complete relationships and added profit.

Here we outline five of the top data integration solutions that retail organizations should consider so they can make better use of data.
