the financial constraints of small businesses. This
finding is encouraging, considering that learning
firms that used automated billing systems were found
to be 70% faster when processing invoices during the
trials. This seems to suggest that automated billing
systems play a critical role in improving accuracy
while reducing overheads. This research offers key
insights on the evolution of retail technology in
underdeveloped economies with inadequate
technological infrastructure. The technology comes
with certain limitations, such as the need for reliable
power sources, the rapid pace of technological
development, and customer resistance to adopt new
systems. Currency will further evolve, mobile
payment systems will continue to ease and shorten
consumer transactions, AI will enhance inventory
management, and IoT integration can reshape the
entire shopping experience as we know it. Further
innovation in this space is expected to increase
operational efficiency and give rise to fresh pathways
for growth in the retail segment. The trend toward the
use of smart shopping systems in the retail landscape
will be unavoidable as it offers long-term benefits for
customers and businesses alike.
