Tech For Retail 2026: a key event
Tech For Retail is one of Europe’s major events dedicated to technology and innovation in retail. It brings together retailers, brands, technology providers and startups, with leaders from groups such as Carrefour, L’Oréal, Adeo and LEGO on the programme.
E-commerce, omnichannel, supply chain, artificial intelligence, customer engagement: the topics covered all have one thing in common. They rely on systems that need to work together. This is exactly where OrqueIO brings value.
Why orchestration is becoming essential in retail
A single customer journey often spans e-commerce, payment, inventory, logistics and customer service. Each of these systems may already be automated: the real challenge is coordinating the complete process across all of them.
Without that coordination, handovers stay manual, visibility is limited and it becomes hard to know where a process has failed. Process orchestration addresses this by connecting those steps within one end-to-end workflow.
OrqueIO: an orchestration layer for your existing systems
OrqueIO is an open-source process orchestration platform. It lets organizations model their business processes in BPMN, execute them and monitor them from end to end.
Acting as an orchestration layer above existing applications, OrqueIO helps retailers:
- coordinate processes across existing systems;
- gain visibility over the status of their operations;
- evolve workflows without replacing the applications already in place.
From automation to end-to-end orchestration
Automation improves isolated tasks. Orchestration goes further: with OrqueIO, a retailer can coordinate the different steps of a single process across multiple applications, teams and services. An order process, for example, can chain:
- Customer order
- Payment validation
- Inventory check
- Warehouse preparation
- Shipping
- Customer notification
- Delivery
- Returns or after-sales service
Each step runs in the right order, and both business and IT teams know at any time where each order stands.

BPMN: a shared language between business and IT
BPMN provides a shared visual representation of processes. Business teams understand how the workflow operates, while IT teams can connect each step to the relevant applications, APIs and services. With OrqueIO, these models are not just diagrams: they become executable workflows.
- visualize processes;
- identify bottlenecks;
- evolve workflows more easily.
An open, easy-to-integrate platform
OrqueIO is distributed under the Apache License 2.0 and designed to integrate with existing enterprise environments. It supports BPMN, DMN, REST APIs, External Tasks, Spring and Quarkus integration, as well as SSO.
