Some retailers may want to focus on making employees\u2019 lives easier while others may want to prioritize high-touch service to shoppers. How can retailers determine which model makes the most sense? Is it possible to prioritize both goals to create a differentiated customer experience?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During this episode of Retail Remix, we listen in on a conversation between our host Alicia Esposito, Glenn Allison, VP of Customer-Facing Applications Development at Tractor Supply, and Tony Boncore, Global Customer Marketing Principal at Honeywell. They discuss how the two companies are collaborating to provide store technology that supports both associates <em>and <\/em>customers.
