Revionics Insight 2018 Global Retail Summit Designed to Inspire Retailers to Innovate, Accelerate, and Dominate in Their Chosen Markets

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Retailers face an imperative to ensure they are equipped to meet the needs of demanding price-savvy shoppers that have real-time insight into retailers' pricing and promotions across all channels.
