Confiz was thrilled to participate in GroceryShop 2023, an annual event that provides invaluable insights into the dynamic landscape of the grocery and CPG ecosystem. This year’s event, held in Las Vegas, offered a unique opportunity to gauge the pulse of the grocery industry, where Confiz stood out as a leader in the retail and CPG verticals with its innovative solutions and services.
The conference focused on practical concerns about retailers’ ability to generate in-store sales and connect with technologically savvy and distracted shoppers. Vendors showcased various technologies and tools addressing key post-pandemic challenges, including theft prevention, enhancing convenience, and cutting through digital clutter to drive sales.
Confiz took center stage, showcasing innovative solutions and expertise in cloud, data, AI, and Dynamics 365 Bizapps tailored for the CPG vertical. Jon Esmael, Director of Business Development at Confiz, engaged in insightful sessions led by industry titans like Barbara Connors (Kroger), Mario Mijares (7-Eleven), and Michelle Morale (Campbell Soup Company). These conversations offered invaluable perspectives on the future of grocery and CPG.
During the event, we had the privilege of meeting Sish Malhotra of Microsoft, an expert in the grocery retail space. Our lunch with Vic Beyers, an American Business Leader from Microsoft, and the Microsoft retail team yielded valuable insights into the role of technology in shaping the future of grocery retail.
The insights on topics such as revolutionizing the grocery business, benefiting from omnichannel shopping, embracing an ethical supply chain, and creating exceptional experiences powered by data were truly enriching. These insights will help us shape our strategies to provide more value to our clients in the CPG industry and ensure their stay competitive.
GroceryShop 2023 was an enriching experience reaffirming our commitment to innovation and collaboration in the grocery and CPG industry. We are eager to continue driving positive change and shaping the future of retail alongside our partners.
