As retailers deploy more connected technologies across their stores, edge computing is playing a growing role in how data is processed and applications are supported.

According to this Shopify article, "[r]etail's interest in edge computing isn't new, but in 2026, it’s hit an inflection point." Edge computing is supporting a growing range of in-store technologies, including POS, inventory management, IoT, and digital signage.
