The event program also included expert presentations on three stages, where current trends and the future of digital transformation were discussed. The main topics included customer-centric business, artificial intelligence and machine learning, smart stores, cybersecurity, and smart energy management. 

Emil Musayev, Head of Retail Equipment Sales:   

The retail industry is in a dynamic process of transformation. Among the many technologies presented at EuroCIS 2025, three key trends are particularly important for BS/2 and our customers. First, the expansion of self-service checkout capabilities and retail automation. We see a growing interest in solutions that minimize staff involvement and speed up service. The second significant trend is intelligent analytics and personalization. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are opening new horizons in understanding consumers, allowing retailers to offer personalized offers, forecast demand, and improve business efficiency. The third trend that is gaining momentum is omnichannel payment solutions. The boundaries between online and offline shopping are blurring, and the convenience and flexibility of payments are becoming critical. The integration of various payment methods, including mobile wallets and biometric payments, opens up new opportunities for retailers. 

These trends show that retail continues to evolve, and we at BS/2 are committed to offering our customers the most effective solutions to help them meet new customer expectations and remain competitive.
