Social commerce will also be a key focus, with its new Social Marketing solution helping brand-side marketers connect siloed social media engagement with omnichannel marketing strategies to drive revenue and enhance personalisation.
“The future of marketing isn’t about treating social as a separate channel. It’s about making it part of a unified, omnichannel marketing strategy,” said Jamie Domenici, CMO at Klaviyo.

“Our Predictive Waste solution helps retailers address their waste and sell-through challenges earlier in the process when the margin impact is larger,” said Alex Considine Tong, Chief Product Officer at Retail Insight.
“Instead of treating markdowns as an isolated event, sell-through signals can feed back into buying decisions, so teams can see where they have been consistently over ordering,” she added. “Retailers can pull back before the problem repeats and see real shifts in margin and sustainability.”

Working with retailers, including Morrisons, Asda and Decathlon, on ESL activations, it has recently made a significant move into the retail media space with the acquisition of In-Store Media (ISM).
“The next big digital media is the physical store,” said Thierry Gadou, Chairman and CEO of Vusion. “Retail media has already transformed the economics of online commerce. The next frontier is in stores, where most shopper traffic remains and decisions of purchase are made.”
Yocuda highlights growing role of digital receipts
M-040, Hall 4
Exhibiting alongside Shift4 on Stand #M-040, Yocuda will highlight the growing role of digital receipts in customer engagement and loyalty.
With adoption among shoppers rising, driven by convenience, demands for more post-purchase personalisation and sustainability, the latest data from Yocuda shows that three quarters (76%) of customers now opt for e-receipts when shopping in-store.
“Physical retail is all about the experience – not just while in the store but at the checkout and after you’ve left,” said Ed Drax, MD at Yocuda.
“Shoppers want convenience, but they also want connection, personalisation, and more sustainable choices… Digital receipts sit right at the intersection of all three, turning what was once a simple transaction into an opportunity to build a longer-term relationship.”
