Introduction
The UAE retail industry is undergoing a digital transformation. From luxury malls in Dubai to omni-channel eCommerce platforms, customers now expect personalized experiences, fast service, and seamless engagement — both online and offline.
To stay competitive, retail brands in the UAE need more than great products — they need smart retail technology that understands shoppers, predicts behavior, and streamlines operations.
Salesforce for Retail delivers exactly that: a 360° customer view, AI-driven insights, and automation that powers connected retail experiences across every channel.
The New Retail Reality in the UAE
UAE retailers are navigating several key shifts:
Omni-channel demands: Customers want to browse online, buy in-store, and return via mobile
High competition from global and regional brands
Loyalty erosion due to limited personalization
Fragmented tools for CRM, inventory, and support
Rising expectations around delivery speed and after-sales service
Salesforce helps you meet these challenges with a platform built for smart retail success.
