What Is Cloud and Hosting and Why It Matters for Retail

Cloud and Hosting services provide the infrastructure to run retail systems without relying on in-house servers. Cloud hosting services distribute applications and data across virtual servers, allowing retailers to scale resources quickly, minimize downtime, and ensure consistent performance. Traditional hosting often limits flexibility, but cloud computing in retail enables systems such as ERP and merchandise planning tools to operate reliably. Retailers face unique challenges, high transaction volumes, seasonal surges, and distributed store networks.

Cloud computing meets these demands in real-time, improves access for remote teams, and provides a seamless data flow between channels. RPE ensures retailers benefit from these capabilities without compromising security or performance.
