Growth Factors in the Blockchain in Retail Industry:

  • Secure Payment Systems

The retail market financial transactions are faced with change due to the blockchain technology. It offers a better security and efficiency against fraud and other illegal or unlawful actions and offers a reliable platform through which payment transactions can be done. In traditional payment platforms, a transaction requires the participation of several intermediaries resulting in friction costs and chances of error or fraud. Blockchain can eliminate all these intermediaries. Credit card skimming and identity theft lead to fraud, which deprives retailers of billions of dollars every year. Due to the decentralized encrypted version of blockchain, any effort to defraud is almost non-existent and transactions can be checked and implemented immediately without any damage to business relations.

  • Improved Inventory Management

The inventory of a retailer is a challenge at all times. Excess inventory will lead to high carrying costs and spoilage whilst insufficient inventory will lead to lost sales. Blockchain assists retailers in inventory management. Blockchain offers a decentralized and smart registry through which retailers can automatically reread stocks automatically to order products to prevent stockouts and overstocks. This is significant in just in time trading of perishable products since blockchain technology will make sure that all supply chain participants such as suppliers, logistics and retailers will share the same network.

  • Enhanced Customer Experience

The experience is the most important asset in the retailing world, which is competitive. With blockchain, retailers find it easier to execute loyalty programs that have more secure and transparent methods of utilizing consumer points in a loyalty program. Blockchain helps consumers to obtain greater information about every product. The application of blockchain can be useful to confirm the authenticity of luxury goods or other products with a high value, allow consumers to trace the origins of organic fruit and its supply chain, and make returns and warranties more secure and effective through automatic operations with the help of smart contracts.

Key Trends in the Blockchain in Retail Market

  • Adoption of Private Blockchain Solutions

The use of the technology of private blockchain is projected to be essential in facilitating the implementation of blockchain in the retail industry since the private blockchain restricts the access of the shared ledger to few trusted individuals within the network, simplifying the safeguarding of sensitive customer data and trade secret business intelligence. Privately run blockchains can be customized on governance. To illustrate, retailers have an option of coming up with blockchain to simplify the process of supply chain management and customer loyalty. The speed of the private blockchains is also typically higher than the speed of the public blockchains and it may be applied in the retail business where technologies like real time inventory control, point of sale, or mobile payment are applied.

  • Integration of Platform and Solutions

The need to scale, be reliable and customizable platforms drives the platform/solutions market segment in blockchain market to retail since the platforms allow retailers to develop their own solutions that can be integrated with their already existing retail management systems. Retailers seek the use of blockchain platforms to enable them manage inventory, payment processing, track supply chains, and other integrated procedures. The applications are diverse in their application, and blockchain immutability, transparency, and security are all mixed. It is the case in such fields as finance and logistics where high data integrity is needed. The blockchain assists companies by allowing them to stay anonymous without the need to pay commissions and middlemen due to the decentralization of most blockchain networks.

  • Focus on Supply Chain and Food Safety Applications

Another area that retailing has embraced to use is the blockchain of the supply chain. A tamper-proof blockchain will help companies offer a supply chain considering the increased need of supply chain transparency since consumers are interested in knowing the origin of their products. A blockchain allows a history of tracking and verification of every step of the food chain, starting with the source and ending with the product, in order to hold all the suppliers, distributors as well as retailers accountable. The blockchain technology might be implemented within a FSMS to fulfill the demand of consumers towards transparency and traceability, and fulfill the need to isolate and/or remove contaminated foods quickly.
