Today, HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) announced that it is bringing together hardware, software, services, and intelligence into a unified solution to help retailers operate with greater visibility, consistency, and control. HP’s expanded enterprise retail solution is built to address one of the industry’s most persistent sources of friction: disconnected, aging in-store systems that slow operations, complicate fulfillment, and put pressure on margins while struggling to deliver simple, unified experiences for shoppers. 
 
“Retailers need technology that simplifies, not adds complexity, and creates systems that work together across channels, the same way shoppers experience their brands,” said Faisal Masud, President, Worldwide Digital & Lifecycle Services at HP. “Retail is overdue for reinvention, and we’re excited to help our customers create the future.”
 
Today consumers blend digital discovery and in-store fulfillment in their shopping, leading retailers to seek ways to modernize operations without introducing risk to core systems. HP spotted an opportunity to leverage its experience and trust as a technology partner to help move retailers forward – without forcing risky, sweeping change. Many retailers remain cautious about modernizing store technology, concerned that replacing core systems could disrupt day-to-day operations. That hesitation has left retail trailing other industries that have more readily adopted flexible, intelligent, connected platforms.

Reducing friction where it matters most 

Modern retail blends online and in-store shopping, flexible fulfillment, and easy returns. When store systems operate in silos, friction shows up quickly – at checkout, behind the counter, and across the supply chain. HP’s Intelligent Retail Infrastructure addresses these challenges by aligning devices, software, services, and AI into a connected foundation that helps retailers operate with greater clarity, consistency, and control.
