2019年，对零售行业来说并不寻常：在中国呼风唤雨一时的商超巨头家乐福卖身苏宁；日本老牌百货高岛屋宣布退出中国市场；新零售的探索遇冷。另一方面，国际零售巨头奥乐齐进军中国，在上海开出实体店；美国最大的连锁会员制仓储量贩店Costco大陆首店预计八月份落地上海。零售行业有成功，亦有失败和教训。
2019 is an unusual year for the retail industry in China: Suning acquired Carrefour, Takashimaya, Japan’s old department store, announced its withdrawal from the Chinese market. On the other hand, ALDI, the international retail giant, entered China and opened a physical store in Shanghai. Costco, America's largest member-owned warehouse chain, is expected to open its first mainland store in Shanghai in August. Retail has its successes and its failures and its lessons.

零售数字化改革持续深化，毕马威中国零售消费行业数字化服务合伙人毛健指出，企业零售数字化分为4个阶段：
The retail digitalization reform continues to deepen. Mao Jian, a digital services partner of KPMG China retail consumer industry, points out that enterprise retail digitalization is divided into four phases:

一，初步探索阶段，大部分企业仍处于的浅层应用阶段，仅仅以数字化的工具，拿来在自己的业务上进行嫁接；
First, in the initial exploration stage, most enterprises are still in the shallow application stage, and only use digital tools to graft on their own business;

二，深入掌握阶段，将数字化工具内化到企业内部场景里，深度掌握了数字化工具规律；
Second, in-depth grasp of the stage, internalization of digital tools into the internal scenes of the enterprise, and deep grasp of the rules of digital tools;

三，对外拓展阶段，将数字化能力内化到了营销、互动、支付层面，体系已经比较成熟，可以管理；
Third, in the external expansion stage, the digitalization capability has been internalized to the level of marketing, interaction, and payment. The system is relatively mature and can manage people-product-place;

四，重塑阶段，赋能整个供应链，实现全价值链的改造。
Fourth, reshaping the stage, empowering the entire supply chain and realizing the transformation of the entire value chain.
