Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Retail Merchandiser . Do you still believe that cash is king ? While electronic options become increasingly common , recent research indicates that 55 percent of

retail organisations anticipate continuing to take payments in cash far into the future . But managing cash comes with challenges – and here ’ s where CashTech comes in . Find out more on page 10 .
This issue also looks at retail shrinkage , and artificial intelligence in the context of retail supply chains . Our experts put forward some interesting perspectives and the articles are well worth a read . Finally , our main interviewee also has some opinions on AI : “ Instead of fearing AI … we should probably embrace it and know how to prompt it effectively to maximize its positive impact ,” he says . What do you think ?
