Abstract Cloud computing has emerged as a transformative force, redefining the integration between retail systems and warehouse management systems (WMS). This paper explores how cloud computing facilitates seamless communication and operational synchronization between retail and warehouse domains. The key strengths of cloud computing, including scalability, agility, real-time processing, and cost efficiency, significantly enhance integrated retail-WMS solutions. As businesses grow, scalability becomes essential; cloud infrastructures easily accommodate expanding data and transaction volumes without performance degradation. Cloud solutions support real-time inventory tracking, order management, and logistics planning, enabling retailers to make accurate and timely decisions. Further, cloud computing fosters improved collaboration by enabling various stakeholders, including suppliers, logistics providers, and retail stores, to access shared, accurate data instantly. However, the transition to cloud-based integration also brings challenges, such as security concerns, data governance, and interoperability issues, which require careful strategy and governance. This paper addresses these challenges, outlines best practices, and provides case studies demonstrating successful cloud integration. Ultimately, adopting cloud computing for integrating retail and warehouse management systems can result in streamlined operations, reduced costs, and enhanced competitive advantages.
