This evolution of the retail landscape encompasses diverse touchpoints and technologies, from traditional brick-and-mortar stores to emerging channels like social commerce and voice-activated shopping. As consumers gain more options, factors such as cost, convenience, control, and overall experience play crucial roles in shaping purchasing decisions.
In response to these trends, retail businesses are increasingly adopting omnichannel strategies to meet modern consumers’ evolving needs and preferences. Okta’s integration technologies offers retailers that Secure Total Experience – from e-commerce to mobile apps, to social media, brick-and-mortar, and beyond.
By leveraging Okta’s robust identity solutions, retailers can strengthen their digital infrastructure, build customer trust, and drive sustainable growth in today’s competitive retail landscape.
