Out of the sandwich position with touchpoint management

Creating holistic digital experiences at the POS

The pressure felt by brick-and-mortar retail and a sandwich have a lot in common: there’s the slice of toast called “online retail” and the other slice called “customer expectations”; in between is brick-and-mortar retail with a lot of potential for the topping. If the toppings do not harmonize with each other, and certainly not with the toast slices, the whole sandwich is lost.

The fact is: the great added value of stationary retail is and remains interaction, whether in person or digitally. It is therefore essential to create a holistic shopping experience that will inspire customers in the long term. Digital signage solutions in retail are no longer uncharted territory. But the potential is often not fully exploited. Isolated solutions dominate our stores. In addition, the Corona pandemic means that touch can no longer be the only option for interactively engaging customers on the shop floor.

Together with our partner NEXGEN smart instore, we revolutionized your touchpoint management on 11/25/2021. From touchless sensor technology to a sophisticated omnichannel strategy to the digital store – together we uncovered unused potential and got your company out of the sandwich position.

The intelligent seasoning for your inventory optimization

How to increase your sales with predictive analytics

Predictive tool options for retail and e-commerce are booming. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are used to make very accurate predictions, for example, the expected number of customers in stores, the number of products sold and upcoming trends.

The advantage: needs-based inventory and assortment planning.

The results: insights into the customer’s buying behavior, (anonymized, of course) taking into account external factors such as the weather, celebrations or even consumers’ physical health.

On 2021/09/23 at 4 p.m. (CET), we revolutionized your inventory and assortment management. The most important ingredient: artificial intelligence. With experts from the retail and IT industry, we talked about how you can derive future developments from already collected data to communicate demand-oriented forecasts.

Participation was free of charge! The webtalk currently took place in German.

Intelligent questions for intelligent ingredients:

  • So how intelligent is AI, really? What can’t AI do and what are its limits?
  • How do I use machine learning specifically for my assortment management?
  • How can I achieve automated optimal order quantities through precise demand forecasting?
  • What data do I need for the forecast?
  • How can artificial intelligence be used to draw conclusions about merchandise distribution and placement? What return on investment can I expect?
  • And finally: What does my customer gain?

Touchpoint Payments: Transaction to go

POS terminals: the control center for your pocket

If the Corona pandemic has taught us one thing, it is to react fast and flexible. This is particularly evident in changing customer payment behavior. More than ever, payment processes need to be smoother and more flexible. The solution: mobile POS – contactless payment directly at the touchpoint.

Mobile, digital POS systems for your pocket make it possible and can be used at the POS at any time, regardless of location. Payment on the go, so to speak. From tablet POS systems and smartphones to mobile all-in-one POS solutions – the possibilities are endless.

On 2021/06/23  we therefore brought more flexibility into your payment mix! With experts from the retail industry and payment service providers, we discussed how transaction to go can be used seamlessly for customers and retailers.

Participation is free of charge!

Click & Pep: Bringing pizzazz to your sale

Click & Collect, In-Store Pickup, Click & Go, Click & Reserve: there are many different names for picking up online ordered goods in the store. The service is appealing to customers because delivery costs are usually eliminated and products can be issued more quickly than with online delivery.

Click & Meet also seems to be gaining traction among retailers, as appointments are made for a specific purpose. The corona pandemic seems to have initiated the age of purpose-driven shopping.

But does it always have to be a highly professional concept including an interface to the online store and an ERP system? How can I offer service to my customers even with small means?

Together with experts and users we brang pep in your sales. The webtalk took place on 2021/04/28.
