For those attending AWS Summit-NYC, do not miss this session on how Saks Fifth Avenue is transforming the customer experience with Amazon Connect and Bedrock!

At this time of year, AWS teams come together to think deeply about what we can do next to delight our customers. These gatherings can be virtual or in person at our offices. As I was packing for our teams offsite this week I started pulling various pieces of AWS apparel from the wardrobe. It turns out I’ve got quite a collection after 7+ years. Can you spot any classics in this collection that match gear which might be hanging around in your wardrobe? #aws #awscloud #amazonwebservices #kickoff2024

Predicting the Future of Retail with AWS-Powered Innovation. In the dynamic world of retail, the ability to foresee the future is akin to finding the Holy Grail. Imagine knowing exactly how many shoes of a particular style will fly off the shelves in each store. This knowledge is power, the power to optimize pricing and streamline inventory management, significantly reducing the need for stock transfers, stockouts or unnecessary end of season discounting. That’s precisely why ALDO Group embarked on a journey with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to develop a state-of-the-art demand planning system tailored for the fashion industry.

Matthieu Houle, CIO of #ALDO Group, says "the holy grail of retail is to predict the future". He is absolutely right, but I would rephrase it as " the holy grail of every business is to predict the future" this is a quick video about how #AWS helped them revolutionize the in-store experience with real-time data and seamless operations, allowing them to focus on selling shoes and providing better customer experiences.

In this talk, humm group and CMD Solutions/Mantel Group go through their modernisation journey into the Amazon Web Services (AWS). Vaughan Dixon(CIO): “One of the outcomes we are most proud of is the growth of our people. Through modernisation of our key digital and infrastructure we are now able to remove roadblocks and provide tools that enable our people to move faster, experiment and bring new ideas to market at speed and lower cost.” #aws #modernisation #awscloud https://lnkd.in/gyVZAU6z
