Nutanix sees retail IT under pressure as store demands grow, budgets lag
Bitget2026/10/28 07:31- Nutanix’s retail IT analysis recommends a common operating platform across stores, data centers and cloud infrastructure to reduce complexity and support AI.
- In-store inefficiencies cost US retailers 6.4% of gross sales in 2026, up from 4.5% in 2024, according to cited research.
- Those inefficiencies represent roughly $196 billion, while food retailers’ average profit margin was 2.1% in 2025.
- More than 80% of retail sales still occur in physical stores, strengthening the case for running selected AI workloads locally.
- The analysis recommends testing modernization in one store before expanding regionally, limiting initial exposure while establishing a consistent operating model.
