The start of a new year is the best time to start thinking about your store technology. Explore your store’s goals for the year and evaluate if your collegiate retail system can support those goals. Maybe your store is planning to host more pop-up locations for mobile sales? Do you have the technology to support that? Here are some actions to strengthen your store in 2025.
Budget for Upgrades
Maybe your hardware is nearing its end-of-life date or maybe additional equipment would add efficiency. Investing in the right technology now can significantly boost your productivity and efficiency throughout the year. Use your remaining funds in this year’s budget and/or allocate funds in your next budget for essential hardware.
