AI-Powered Personalization is Redefining the Tablet POS Landscape
The global tablet POS systems market is undergoing a major transformation as artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, and personalization become central to next-generation retail operations. This shift is driven by the demand for smarter decision-making, real-time insights, and operational efficiency. Businesses are increasingly adopting AI-powered POS systems to enable predictive analytics, fraud detection, customer behavior tracking, dynamic pricing, inventory automation, and workforce optimization.

Today's tablet POS platforms deliver enhanced in-store experiences with personalized recommendations, tailored discounts, loyalty programs, and intuitive self-service features. By analyzing individual purchase history and browsing behavior, these systems suggest relevant products in real time, boosting both upselling and cross-selling. As personalization becomes integral to customer engagement, AI-integrated POS systems are no longer optional, they are strategic enablers of revenue growth, efficiency, and data-driven retail innovation.

Terry Newman: Why your steak sucks this summer
Article content When questioned about where the meat comes from, he said that, 'The chicken is almost 99 per cent Canadian. The beef and the pork, one day we could get 10 cases of back ribs and it's all Canadian, and the next day we get two cases of American.' Article content Yet 'none of the labels would tell you. That's what the little flags are for,' he explained, pointing to signs sitting above a bin of meat. 'Every couple of hours, they're constantly revising it in terms of what is and what isn't (Canadian).' Article content Again, there was nothing on the individual packages of meat to indicate whether the beef is foreign or homegrown, just flags or signs being shifted around to indicate whether beef is Canadian. Article content I spoke to a fourth butcher, this time at a Loblaws store, who confirmed that if it is not marked, there is no way for consumers to tell if the beef they are buying is from the United States or elsewhere. Article content At this location, a display case with unpackaged prime cuts featured some pieces of meat with flags indicating that they were Canadian. However, other meats in the case did not have any country-identifying information. Article content Article content There were packages of beef marked 'Canadian Beef,' with stickers saying, 'Pick the Beef with the Leaf,' and clearly displaying a black Canadian flag with 'Canada' written in the centre on each individual package. Article content Article content However, there was also beef that was unmarked. For example, a section filled with stewing beef, striploins and eye round marinating steaks with and without 'Canadian Pepper Seasoning' did not bear the same Canadian symbol on the individual packages. Article content Article content Article content The Loblaws butcher did, however, point to price tags above one bin of meats that had Canadian flags on it. These, he told me, were brought in as part of the 'Buy Canadian' movement against U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. But these weren't everywhere in the store. In this location, they were above some vacuum-sealed, pre-seasoned pork products. Article content Article content Article content Grading requirements aside, I needed to determine whether the butchers were correct about Canadians not being able to tell if their meat is not Canadian. Article content I contacted Metro, Loblaws and the CFIA to ask why, as per the butchers I spoke with, there appears to be a lack of clarity around the labelling of meats from foreign countries, despite the rules posted on the food agency's website. Article content I asked Stephanie Bonk, communications manager for Metro, if the butchers were correct in saying that beyond marked boxes out back, consumers in the store would not be able to know if their meat was Canadian. Bonk said that Metro follows Ontario rules, which do not require country of origin labelling. Article content When I asked about store inspection, Bonk said that, 'To ensure compliance with federal and provincial requirements, the stores could be inspected by CFIA and/or' the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness. Article content She explained that, 'There is no requirement for country of origin on retail meat cuts that are cut and packaged at store level. This would include ground meats, stewing meat, kabobs, stir fry meat, etc.'

Dollar General vs. Dollar Tree: Which Discount Stock Wins the Value Game?
Key Points Dollar General struggled with macro headwinds over the past few years. Dollar Tree's divestment of Family Dollar could represent a fresh start. The pricier stock could actually be the better value. 10 stocks we like better than Dollar General › Dollar General (NYSE: DG) and Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR), the two largest dollar stores in America, both survived the retail apocalypse which wiped out many other retailers over the past decade. They kept opening new stores even as other retailers pulled back, and they countered Amazon and Walmart by selling cheaper products. That resilience made them reliable recession-resistant investments. But over the past three years, Dollar General's stock plunged more than 50% as Dollar Tree's stock dropped over 30%. Let's see why these two stocks sank -- and if either one is a better value play right now. The differences between Dollar General and Dollar Tree Dollar General mainly opens its stores in rural areas which haven't been saturated by superstores. It doesn't actually sell everything for a dollar, but it tries to sell its products at much lower prices than its competitors. It generates most of its revenue in the U.S., but it expanded into Mexico with its Mi Súper Dollar General stores in 2022. From fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2024 (which ended Jan. 31, 2025), Dollar General's number of year-end stores increased from 18,130 to 20,594. For fiscal 2025, it plans to open approximately 575 new stores in the U.S. and up to 15 new stores in Mexico. Dollar Tree focuses on urban and suburban markets, and it tries to wedge its stores between lower income neighborhoods and superstores like Walmart. It originally sold all of its products for $1, but it raised its prices over the past four years to counter inflation and sell a broader range of products. It acquired its chief competitor Family Dollar in 2015, but it finally sold the struggling banner after a decade of sluggish sales this year. From fiscal 2021 to fiscal 2024 (which ended Feb. 1, 2025), Dollar Tree's number of year-end stores (including Family Dollar) grew from 15,115 to 16,774. But in fiscal 2025, its store count will decline as it divests its Family Dollar stores. At the end of the first quarter of 2025, its Dollar Tree segment operated 9,016 stores. What challenges do the dollar stores face? Dollar General and Dollar Tree both grew their same-store sales over the past three years. Data source: Company earnings reports. *Excluding Family Dollar. Dollar General's same-store sales slowed in fiscal 2023 as it grappled with inflationary headwinds for consumer spending (especially among lower income consumers), theft and inventory shrinkage issues, and cost-cutting measures, which caused operational challenges. But in fiscal 2024, its growth accelerated again as it closed some weaker stores, prioritized operational improvements over immediate cost-cutting strategies, and opened more Popshelf concept stores to sell a broader range of higher-margin, non-essential goods. For fiscal 2025, it expects its same-store sales to rise 1.5% to 2.5% as it continues to open more Popshelf stores, adds gas stations to more of its rural Dollar General stores, remodels its older locations, and continues to open new stores in more promising markets. It expects its diluted EPS, which plunged 32% in fiscal 2024, to rise 2% to 14% in fiscal 2025. Analysts expect its EPS to grow 12% for the year, even as the unpredictable tariffs squeeze its near-term margins. Dollar Tree's same-store sales growth decelerated in fiscal 2023 and 2024 as it grappled with inflation, weak consumer spending, bloated inventories, and theft. Its decision to broaden its price range alienated some of its customers, and its "combo strategy" of merging some of its Dollar Tree and Family Dollar banners didn't halt that slowdown. But for fiscal 2025, Dollar Tree sees its same-store sales rising 3% to 5%. It expects that acceleration to be driven by its ongoing conversion of its stores to its newer multi-price "3.0 format" (with $1.25-$7.00 tiers) to attract higher income customers. The divestment of Family Dollar should also free up more cash to strengthen its main banner. Dollar Tree expects adjusted EPS from continuing operations, which dipped 12% in fiscal 2024, to rise 1% to 11% in fiscal 2025. Analysts expect its adjusted EPS to grow 6%. Which dollar store stock is the better value right now? Dollar General trades at 20 times forward earnings and pays a forward dividend yield of 2.2%. Dollar Tree trades at 21 times forward earnings but doesn't pay a dividend. Dollar General might be the cheaper stock, but I think Dollar Tree's divestment of Family Dollar, its stronger same-store sales growth, and it's clearer plans for broadening its reach among higher-income consumers make it the more compelling investment. Dollar General's focus on rural areas limits its ability to attract more affluent customers, while its expansion of Popshelf could run into a lot of competition from similar retailers like Five Below.
