Redefining Innovation in
e-Commerce
We are physical designers and innovators that transform and connect stores to the virtual shopping experience in a way that is known as Phygital (marrying a physical concept with digital; sort of a new iteration of click-and-mortar). The lines of traditional commerce formats and digital purchasing behaviors have blurred, opening the doors to new and exciting business models that both streamline the consumer experience and business operations.
Today’s disruption represents a time of opportunity as the pace of technological innovation and transformation increases.
Cuhaci Peterson’s capabilities are transforming similarly to address and solve for this changing landscape.
Endless Opportunities to Innovate!
Accelerated change is upon us, and commerce has reached an inflection point. Increasingly, consumers are demanding an unlimited assortment of products, immediate fulfillment to autonomous delivery and a willingness to pay less.
As these demands are fulfilled, many stores will disappear or become consolidated. The remaining stores will condense in size and need to fundamentally reshape their retail experience to fit the new landscape. This tectonic disruption is not the one that will impact commerce in the future, but the one that is being felt today. We are making sure those necessary solutions exist now.
E-Commerce
Automated Stores
Replace shopping the "maze of aisles" online or in-store with a high-density system. Robotics enable an order picked within minutes.
Robotics in Warehouses
Automated fulfillment in warehouses and stores to streamline/manage and accelerate the processes from manual product handling.
Home Delivery
Consumers look for home delivery of goods. Businesses must adapt their processes and implementation strategies to include Click-N-Collect: Grocery - RX + Prepared Foods, 3rd Party Delivery Services, and Future Autonomous Delivery.
Sanitized Stores
Ghost Kitchens
Traceable Supply Chains
Working Remotely
During the past six months, business has leveraged technology enabling a remote workforce. We’ve shared the term “techcelleration” transforming retailing norms and expectations.

Innovate With Velocity
The Omni Experience
Operators will embrace the omni experience from a different lens and starting point, and to meet evolving customer needs an organizational framework rather than a specific physical representation needs to exist. That’s where the Omni Store comes into play as a hub for a series of channels that gives the customer numerous ways to interact.
Assortment, supply chain, speed, in-store experiences, product knowledge, prepared foods, optimized labor and downstream fulfillment all drive the experience where physical and digital merge with technology into one efficient package.
In the omni world:- Customers gravitate towards convenience
- The focus is on the customer
- Food in all its forms plays an outsized role in a convenient future
- Get what you want, when you want it, how you want it
