Real-Time Retail: Building a High-Performance Distributed Promotion System

Author(s) Nitin Saksena
Country United States
Abstract Edge computing architectures have recently allowed revolutionary ideas in retail technology, especially in
the field of real-time promotion processing. To transform grocery store operations, this article proposes a
novel implementation of a distributed promotion execution engine that elegantly combines cloud and edge
computing. Using a case study of Albertsons' enterprise-wide deployment, this article shows how a hybrid
architectural solution effectively solves the longstanding industry difficulty of unified promotion
processing across physical and digital channels. The system maintains centralized cloud orchestration for
offer management and distribution, while it uses edge computing concepts to process transactions closer
to the point of sale. It is discovered that this distributed architecture offers constant sub-second
performance in offer dissemination and processing across geographically scattered retail locations.
Handling peak promotion periods and preserving system dependability, the implementation has shown
continuous performance at the corporate level. This article adds important insights for the next
implementations of distributed systems in mission-critical retail operations and helps to contribute to the
increasing body of knowledge on useful applications of edge computing in retail environments
