Party City, one of the largest retailers of party-related products and services, likes to say that it’s in the memory creation business.

It’s a tall order. On this episode of The Rebound, David Levitt, Party City’s vice president of information technology, discusses the trends impacting multi-channel retailers, how delivering a customer experience is now job one and the enabling technologies that are transforming Party City’s supply chain and the digital experience.
