POS and Payments: Hot Topics and Tech Trends from NRF 2024


This IDC Perspective highlights the key takeaways from the National Retail Federation (NRF) 2024: Retail's Big Show focused on the strategic importance of new point-of-sale (POS) and payment offerings in enhancing omni-channel customer experience as well as fraud and loss prevention. It highlights the themes seen across visits to a wide range of tech vendors, including growing interest in biometric payments, how payment transformation can impact customer experience, the significance of flexible and unified systems in delivering seamless omni-channel POS experiences, and the use of next-gen technology in fraud and loss prevention at checkout. "We saw a variety of next-gen POS and payments solutions unveiled at NRF 2024 that can go a long way in helping retailers address current common pain points of delivering seamless omni-channel customer experiences and reducing shrink," said Margot Juros, research director, Worldwide Retail Technology Strategies, IDC. "There was new focus on the benefits of next-gen offerings to make omni-channel transactions faster, easier, more personalized, and more secure for improved retail outcomes."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
