Dynamics 365 Connected Store is a turnkey software as a service (SaaS) solution that gathers and analyzes observational signals to create insights and automate actions for retailers in their stores. Using computer vision, Dynamics 365 Connected Store gathers observational signals and analyzes them to produce actionable insights. An important goal for Dynamics 365 Connected Store is to offer benefits to retailers that are traditionally available only to online retailers, and to help bridge the physical and digital divide.

Dynamics 365 Connected Store achieves this by using the following hybrid approach:

  • Intelligent edge: A managed gateway in the store that converts camera streams into observational data sent to the cloud.

  • Intelligent cloud: A multitenant SaaS solution that correlates observational signals from the edge to provide insights and trigger actions for the retailer.

Features planned for this release wave have been delayed to 2021 release wave 2.
