PIMLAND Reflects on RTS 2025: Clarity, Continuity, and What’s Coming Next
The Retail Technology Show 2025 brought together the industry’s most determined problem-solvers to ask hard questions about how retail should really work.
For PIMLAND, the two-day event marked a moment of clarity: retail needs systems that aren’t just smart, but built to keep up with complexity.
Over 15,000 retail professionals walked the halls of ExCeL London, looking for more than what is on the market. In the conversations that mattered, themes kept repeating: fragmented systems, rising costs, unpredictable supply chains, and the growing gap between strategy and execution.
That’s precisely where PIMLAND plans to step in!
What Conversations Really Moved the Needle at RTS 2025
Retailers attending RTS 2025 were looking for solutions they could act on immediately, tools that simplify operations without disrupting what already works.
Many were asking the same questions: How can product data be managed across regions without duplicating effort? How can internal teams move faster without sacrificing accuracy?
“Retailers are no longer just exploring technology. They’re demanding systems that remove barriers between teams and geographies.
What we saw at RTS 2025 was a shift toward operational clarity and shared visibility across the product lifecycle. That’s exactly the space we’ve built PIMLAND for.”
Erdinç Sezer, Co-Founder of PIMLAND
Conversations around product lifecycle visibility and system interoperability made it clear that isolated tools no longer meet today’s operational demands. Platforms need to reflect the pace and complexity of modern retail, where teams in design, production, and marketing are expected to collaborate in real time.
Retail Needs Tech That Works on the Ground
Speed, complexity, and fragmentation are daily challenges for fashion and lifestyle brands. Product teams move fast, but disconnected systems and outdated tools slow them down. Retailers are looking for systems that fit how their operations actually run.
PIMLAND brought a clear message to RTS 2025: solving everyday retail complexity starts with giving teams a shared system they can trust.
With its integrated PLM, PIM, and SRM tools, PIMLAND connects product design, supplier management, and retail execution in one platform.
While eliminating silos, reducing duplicate work, and giving retailers accurate visibility across every phase of product development and launch.
It’s not just digital transformation for its own sake. PIMLAND focuses on retail realities:
- Faster assortments
- Tighter margins
- Growing customer expectations
- Consistent product data
- Seamless collaboration between teams
By bringing retail and tech together with purpose, PIMLAND poses as a solution to many modern retail problems.
What the Industry Is Talking About
Conversations at RTS 2025 made one point unmistakable: retail technology must work seamlessly across all stages of product creation and sales to keep pace with today’s complexity.
Discussions about AI in production, omnichannel growth, and economic challenges all pointed to a shared challenge. Fragmented, one-off systems cannot deliver the operational clarity retailers need!
Leaders from John Lewis Partnership and Kingfisher shared real-world experiences moving AI projects from experiments to scalable solutions. Their insights echoed the shift we witnessed, toward platforms designed for integration, collaboration, and true impact.
For PIMLAND, these conversations reinforced our mission. Bringing together product lifecycle management, supplier coordination, and retail execution in one platform is no longer optional; it is essential.
What’s Next for PIMLAND
The interest sparked at RTS didn’t end once the halls emptied. In the months ahead, PIMLAND will host its own retail-focused event, The Future of Operations: Retail Beyond Digital, creating space for deeper conversations around future-proof operations and product lifecycle resilience.
Retail doesn’t need more dashboards. It needs decisions that can happen faster, backed by data that teams can trust. PIMLAND’s commitment stays grounded in that reality, helping brands build smarter, not just louder.
For those still navigating the post-RTS landscape, the work continues. And so does the conversation.
