Seven Easy Ways to Use Location as a Service

There's a lot changing in retail - the Connected Consumer, Internet of Things and improving Omni-Channel options. Rapid change in consumer behavior is constant. It effects every aspect of how content and information is consumed and the expectations of customer on the services they receive.
