"WORK AT SQUARE. Invent today. Shape tomorrow." As with any interview question, this allows you to showcase your merits and how well you fit in with their culture. Not only do you want to exhibit your passion for this industry and what they offer, but you also want to show you've done your research by not suggesting products or software solutions they already offer. So have fun with this question, and be innovative.

"I would want to automate their signage. Whether it be an A-Frame that stood on the sidewalk out front or the sign above a display or end cap, I would love for an easy design suite to allow for eye-catching displays for a retailer that would eliminate the need for the extra expense of hiring someone to do their design work or the cost of repeated supplies that contributed to waste. This item would be sustainable for the business and the environment."

"I would love to help design a program that allows a retailer to enter their inventory into a subscription comp-shop software that would compare the price of every item in their inventory to their competitors. It would also offer hard data suggestions on how to lower their overhead to better compete, such as lowering back stock and warehousing costs to a more truck-to-shelf modality, or comp shopping distributors."
