Join Us at NRF 2026 — Retail’s Big Show

We’re returning to the world’s largest retail technology stage: NRF 2026. Fresh off last year’s success, this year, we’re building on the strong foundation we’ve established, bringing deeper collaboration, broader capability, and even greater impact for the retailer enterprises we serve.

Charles Hudson Technology Solutions, North America’s only retail-centric QA solutions provider, is helping retailers and global brands strengthen their digital foundations and deliver dependable, high-performance experiences at scale.

We’ve also been nominated at the Vendors in Partnership (VIP) Awards 2026 under the “Best Kept Secret” category, recognizing our distinct approach and impact across the retail technology ecosystem.

We’d love to share how today’s most successful retail teams are using QA to drive reliability and growth.

Our Mission Continues: Elevating Quality at Every Step

Exceptional retail experiences begin with resilient systems and uncompromising quality, and we’re here to deliver that for our customers. From omnichannel retail to enterprise eCommerce and POS transformation, we’re advancing the way QA supports speed, scalability, and end-user trust.

This Year at NRF 2026: Next Now

The theme speaks to acting on innovation in real time, and that’s precisely where we’re focused, turning QA maturity into measurable impact today, not someday. We’re helping our customers operationalize quality faster, bridge engineering and business goals, and build confidence into their larger digital ecosystem.
Our work with leading retail technology teams continues to prove one thing: when quality is strategic, results follow. Don’t take our word for it; hear it from our customers.

Eric Roelofs

The team at Charles Hudson was instrumental in helping us with our long-stalled ERP, Warehouse Management System, and Web Store front-end upgrades. Their QA team was able to streamline the process, help us identify problems, and ultimately get the project live in a few months. I would strongly recommend them to anyone.
