DVS has been consistently participating in various Industry events. To carry on the momentum, DVS participated in the recently concluded annual event Indian Retail Forum 2008 organized by Images Retail (Sept 16th-18th, 2008) in Mumbai.

India Retail Forum, one of the most vibrant retail events, was a congregation of some of the best retail brands, companies and minds from across the globe, from diverse segments – from retail real estate and design & architecture, to visual merchandising, retail support, and technology. The forum presented the business of retail in the region to a global audience, with the express aim of facilitating understanding and encouraging investment in this massive marketplace.

With both operational and aesthetic aspects of retail evolving into a science in more ways than one, technology is necessarily playing out a dominant role in managing the complexities of modern day commerce. Technology subsumes every aspect of operational verticals – sourcing, warehousing, retail store management – and makes a telling difference on profit margins. We showcased some of our most popular products/solutions that are changing the face and back-end of retail technology in line with consumer expectations and optimizing fast-paced shopping paradigms.

Commenting on the event, Mr. Vipul Sharma, Account Manager- Retail, Dynamic Verticals Solutions said, “It gave us a fantastic platform to meet the top executives of the Industry, understand emerging business & technology trends in the retail industry and explore future alliances. We showcased our fully integrated business solutions; LS Retail and LS Hospitality, built on the Microsoft Dynamics platform. The solutions generated a lot of interest from delegates & other exhibitors." he added.
