ChannelVision Magazine has named National Retail Solutions (NRS) a 2025 Visionary Spotlight Award (VSA) winner for Best Emerging Technology Breakthrough – Overall Excellence. The annual VSA program celebrates products, services, and deployments that advance the communications and channel ecosystem.
Each year, ChannelVision editors and an independent panel of judges evaluate entries based on overall innovation, future industry impact, creativity, feature-set differentiation, ease of use, and interoperability.
