About the Retail Industry Digital Plan (IDP)

Aligned to the Retail Industry Transformation Map (ITM), the Retail Industry Digital Plan (IDP) is part of the SMEs Go Digital programme which aims to make going digital simple for SMEs. The Retail IDP provides a step-by-step guide on the digital solutions local SMEs in the Retail industry can adopt at each stage of their growth.

The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), in partnership with Enterprise Singapore and the industry, has jointly developed the Retail IDP. The IDP will continue to be updated over time as the industry progresses and newer, more relevant technologies are introduced, supporting the SMEs Go Digital programme and Singapore's digitalisation efforts.
