After working together for many years, Feynman Group recently joined the Orgill, Inc. family of companies to help shift their technology-fueled vision into high gear and bridge the technology divide to empower small business owners. Scotty McConnell, president of Feynman Group noted that “As we got to know each other over the years, this entire relationship just made more and more sense. Aside from the unique skill sets that we bring to the table with our core competencies in technology, our companies share other common traits when it comes to culture. We are all fiercely passionate about customer service and we are also fiercely passionate about helping small business owners better level the playing field to compete more effectively with corporate behemoths.”

Eugene-based technology solutions provider Feynman Group joins forces with Tyndale Advisors and Orgill, Inc. to accelerate operational goals and support the success of retail customers.

2020 was expected to be one of the best years yet. The economy was booming with happy consumers, low inflation rates, the stock market was up, and what seems to be a promising year for retailers quickly turned into one of the hardest years this generation has seen. The pandemic caused most retailers and restaurants to shutter as they navigated unplanned inventory, bankruptcy, renegotiating with landlords, and layoffs. An article released by RIS News, “7 Retail Technology Trends to Watch in 2021”, offers a great perspective on how 2020 may have had a detrimental effect on society, yet has been marked as a monumentally transformative year for technology. They propose that those who survive and thrive this next year, technology will be at the heart of all parts of their business. Not that technology wasn’t a priority in the past, but with the tensions fueled in 2020, technology investments will be a must for every retailer that didn’t already accelerate investments during the pandemic – from supply chain, e-commerce and store operations, to merchandising, marketing and shopper engagement. The seven technology trends presented in this article are a great place for retailers to start when looking for direction on how to recover after last year’s fiasco and want to join other businesses as they undertake technology’s new role in the retail space.

Nearly one year ago, the pandemic shifted our perception of remote work as the majority of us found ourselves working from home and adjusting to new lifestyles. This past year has been full of forgetting the last time you left the house, working in the same pants you went to bed in, and hoping that you make it through the day with at least one uninterrupted video conference meeting. Now that we have settled into what seems to be this new ‘normal’, we thought you might find these phrases painfully funny and an accurate representation of what it means to work from home during a worldwide pandemic 😂

RIS News published an article by Justin Honaman discussing "7 Retail Technology Trends to Watch in 2021." The article included their annual Buzzword Bingo, highlighting “hot” buzzword trends across the technology and consulting-vendor-partner-sphere. Here are some of the 2020/2021 buzzwords for the work-from-home crowd:
“Can you see my screen?” “My Wi-Fi is not working / weak signal because my spouse is working and my kids are doing online school,” “Every week is four Mondays and a Friday,” “I think you are on mute,” “Sorry, I was on mute,” “Sorry, my dogs are barking,” “Let’s give everyone a few minutes to join,” “Your screen froze,” and of course, “Smile everyone so I can grab a screenshot for social media!”
