Zugara is pleased to announce that we were recently named to EnsembleIQ’s Retail Technology Innovation Index. The report is an index of technology companies that present innovative solutions in support of a dramatically changing retail landscape. Designed to transparently and objectively measure the performance of over 450 meticulously selected companies and provide clients with differentiated insight, the Innovation Index scores subjects according to 12 key performance indicators (KPIs) under four overarching pillars: Product, Performance, Ecosystem and Organization. Only companies with scores across all four pillars are assigned an overall score (the average of the pillar scores) from zero to 100. The top 75 companies with the best overall scores were selected for the Index.

A few of the top 75 companies listed in the Retail Technology Innovation Index include Adobe, Amazon AWS, Apple, Cisco, Facebook, Google, IBM, Intel, SAP and more. Zugara was listed in both the overall index as well as the Performance subcategory. The Performance subcategory was a group of 30 retail technology companies that were selected based on the following parameters:

• Agile Development: Deploying solutions using cross-functional teams who evolve processes on a continual basis
• Innovative Technology Solutions Growth: Performance or grwoth of innovative solution functionality, use cases and integration frameworks
• Cost and ROI: Assist retailers in attaining a time-bound COO and ROI focus (2,3 and 5 years).
