What would we do without grocery stores and supermarkets? The fact is, grocers and supermarkets are pivotal to modern food distribution. And yet the grocery industry cannot rest easy. It needs to evolve to compete among the more technologically savvy players on the market. With big-box stores offering online shopping, grocery stores have also had to meet this challenge. The hybrid combination of eCommerce and brick-and-mortar shopping has changed the game. And, of course, the world has changed from a mere six months ago—many consumers are no longer comfortable going to shop in person in a grocery or supermarket. As a result, sellers who have online buying options and buy online, pickup in-store solutions saw massive growth in recent months.
And yet, what sets many grocers and supermarkets apart from the competition? Their retail payment offerings. Finding a payment processing solution can be challenging for a supermarket. This is especially true for operations that still utilize a traditional payment model. Software developers and independent software vendors have quickly stepped up to help their clients move their operations into the twenty-first-century mindset. However, these vendors are only as good as the tools and systems they offer. A discerning grocer or supermarket needs to make the best choice when it comes to its current payment processing service and retail payment options for its customers. That’s where UNFI Professional Services comes in.
