nShift: Retailers Must Prioritize Deliveries as They Plan Christmas in July

Retailers risk leaving crucial aspects of their peak-season planning too late. nShift, the global leader in experience and delivery management (DMXM), is calling on ecommerce companies to embrace the full spirit of “Christmas in July” as they make crucial preparations for the end of the year.

“Christmas in July has become a permanent feature on the retail calendar,” says Sean Sherwin-Smith, Post-Purchase, CX and Sustainability Product Director at nShift. “It’s a time when vendors finalize their Christmas product range and determine their marketing strategy. But too often, they don’t think through how they will manage the all-important customer experience during the time of high demand.

“The delivery experience is one of these crucial components that is often overlooked. That’s partly because retailers tend to dismiss deliveries as a purely logistical consideration. But recent research shows the delivery experience can be more important than advertising.1

“At nShift we combine the core components of delivery management – such as a library of over 1000 carriers – with customer-facing post-purchase applications. We call this delivery and experience management, or DMXM. And it has the power to build customer loyalty, create efficiencies and build the business.”

Peak season, which incorporates Black Friday, Singles’ Day and Christmas, is the period of the year when many retailers make their biggest profits. By planning for peak season now, while there is still time to make infrastructure changes, online and multi-channel retailers can:

  • Bolster delivery capacity and grow beyond limits – with access to 1000 carriers, it’s easy to scale up as demand requires. The carrier library also enables retailers to expand internationally and offer more choice at checkout, increasing conversion rates
  • Create a better customer experience by connecting every stage of the journey - by offering the right delivery options at checkout (including popular zero-emissions and pick-up, drop-off deliveries), a superior tracking experience, and simple returns which maximize revenue retention
  • Gain crucial customer data - by combining data from carriers, logistics, and other business systems. DMXM brings this information together, helping retailers sharpen customer insights, break down internal silos, and drive operational efficiency
  • Out-performing competitors - whether by engaging with customers in new ways or increasing the throughput of deliveries and fulfillment teams, nShift helps retailers stay one step ahead of the rest by investing five times more in R&D than its closest competitors

nShift enables retailers to offer outstanding customer experiences and increase operating efficiency. Its DMXM suite is a unique combination of enterprise-class delivery management, a library of 1000+ carriers, and customer-facing applications. It provides a joined-up, end-to-end experience from the checkout to the doorstep.

Vercel Brings New Agent Framework, Full-Stack Capabilities, and Enterprise Controls to Its Agentic Infrastructure Platform17.6.2026 12:13:00 CEST | Press release

As agents become the primary way software is built and deployed, Vercel connects its frontend, backend, and agent tooling into a single platform for shipping and running agents at scale. Today at Ship, its annual conference, Vercel introduced a set of new products that deepen its agentic infrastructure platform trusted by DoorDash, Helly Hansen, OpenAI, Stripe, and The Weather Company. Founder and CEO Guillermo Rauch and other Vercel leaders unveiled the lineup on stage, anchored by three shifts the products address: agents are now the dominant way software gets deployed, every application is becoming agentic, and enterprises need to run agents in production securely and at scale. The transition is well underway. Six months ago, fewer than three percent of deployments to Vercel infrastructure were triggered by coding agents. Agents now account for more than half. Token volume through Vercel's AI Gateway has grown from roughly two trillion to twenty trillion per month over the same peri

NIQ Introduces NIQ Cadence: A Compound AI Operating System for Marketing Effectiveness17.6.2026 12:00:00 CEST | Press release

One system unifies NIQ’s global data, models, and knowledge so marketers move from insight to impact faster, with deeper intelligence, at scale. NIQ (NYSE: NIQ), a global leader in consumer intelligence, today introduced NIQ Cadence, a compound AI operating system built to change how organizations measure marketing performance, optimize budgets, and act on what the data tells them. NIQ Cadence brings data and intelligence into one continuous environment, moving marketers off fragmented reports and onto a single system that empowers decision making. Marketing has never been more complex. Channels keep multiplying, data sits in silos, and the pressure to prove ROI keeps climbing. As a result, most teams still stitch insight and action together by hand, losing time and confidence at every handoff. NIQ Cadence closes that gap with one system where measurement and decision-making finally run together. “Marketing leaders don’t need more reports. They need a better rhythm,” said Jason Tate, G

Winning With AI Requires Organizational Transformation, Not Speed of Adoption, Finds New Arthur D. Little Report17.6.2026 12:00:00 CEST | Press release

To successfully embrace the power of AI, businesses need to remove organizational complexity and eliminate unnecessary work, rather than simply using it for fragmented, incremental improvements. Boards must act now to deliver this. That is the key message from AI-First or Disrupted: Beating the Nightmare Competitor, a new report from Arthur D. Little (ADL) based on concrete examples from leading organizations. Within three to five years, AI-first competitors will make faster decisions, have flatter organizations, and operate at lower costs. They will not just optimize handovers between teams, approvals, and reconciliation work; they will eliminate these complex processes entirely. AI is completely changing the economics of work and value creation, removing the need for coordination across multiple teams, while also enabling adaptive, predictive, and personalized products and services. This delivers both lower operational costs and a fundamentally stronger value proposition. However, mo
