Rite Aid said the partnership would help to create a continuous, consistent and compelling customer experience for every shopper across touchpoints by creating a connection between the pharmacy, retail stores and online. It will bring Rite Aid real-time personalization, deep customer journey analytics, content management and advertising capabilities to enhance its digital solutions and marketing, the company said. Rite Also will work to deploy Adobe’s commerce capabilities using Adobe Experience Cloud while leveraging a team of industry specialists from Adobe.

“Developing deeper relationships with our customers is a key focus for Rite Aid,” said John Standley, CEO, Rite Aid. “Establishing partnerships with best-in-class brands like Adobe is critical to Rite Aid’s digital transformation and ability to deliver on the changing needs of today’s customers.
