Emerging Technologies
Generative AI for Insights
Generative AI will enable natural language querying of retail data, creating custom reports and dashboards on demand, and automating predictive scenario planning.

Composable Analytics Architectures
This approach allows retailers to flexibly combine and recombine best-of-breed data and analytics components, fostering greater agility and specialized solutions over monolithic platforms.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) (2020/2023)
The CCPA, amended by the CPRA, grants California consumers significant rights regarding their personal data, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale or sharing of their personal information.
Retail analytics software providers must ensure robust data governance, consent management, and data anonymization capabilities to help retailers comply with consumer data rights.
American Innovation and Choice Online Act (Proposed, 2022)
This proposed federal antitrust legislation aims to prevent large online platforms from unfairly favoring their own products and services over those of smaller businesses on their platforms.
While not directly impacting data analytics, if passed, it could influence how retailers collect and share data with third-party platforms, potentially pushing them towards independent analytics solutions.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Enforcement on Data Security and Privacy (Ongoing)
The FTC actively enforces laws against unfair and deceptive practices related to data security and privacy, issuing fines and mandating compliance programs for companies that mishandle consumer data.
Retail analytics platforms like Robling must ensure their data handling practices, security measures, and contractual obligations with clients meet stringent FTC standards to avoid penalties and maintain trust.
