The finalists represent a broad spectrum of technological transformation aimed at solving long-standing operational hurdles. Among the contenders, Davines and Attensi are recognized for a game-based training initiative that boosted sales performance through scalable, practical simulations. Similarly, EDEKA has been shortlisted for its massive migration of store operating systems to Linux, a move that unified management for over 900 devices across its German retail estate.
Other notable deployments include Fynd’s unified commerce engine, which sustained a 7% increase in daily orders for a quick-service restaurant operator, and the collaboration between GEN-Y Hitch and Patchworks, which leveraged Shopify and automated ERP syncing to drive 75% year-on-year revenue growth. The shortlist also features Pharma&Go’s 24/7 autonomous store in Lisbon, which utilizes computer vision to facilitate frictionless shopping, and Noken’s immersive showroom in Spain, designed to turn product exploration into a personalized digital journey.
Rounding out the field are Quorso’s AI-powered mission-based management platform, which has processed over 800,000 store tasks in three months, and TCS’s EventForge initiative, which is streamlining legacy integration landscapes for a leading European grocer. A panel of industry judges will evaluate these projects before the winners are revealed on November 4th at The HAC in London.
