<\/a>Retail industry leaders are driving changes to enhance the customer experience across their channels.<\/p><\/div>\n
Take electronic shelf labels. LG Innotek, introduced customized ESL solutions for various retail outlets at NRF 2015.\u00a0 Electronic Shelf Labels are just a small part of the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT) solutions market; LCDs and electronic paper provide shoppers information on product price, sales promotions, etc. The integration of ESL lets retailers manage the price of all the products in a store, and helps in real-time tracking inventory status. Customers can check on product information and easily find the product as the ESL communicates with their smartphones. ESL can also process the order, payment, and delivery on site.<\/p>\n
Once a customer has made a selection, the next stop is often the dressing room. MemoMi\u2019s MemoryMirror<\/span><\/a> is a digital mirror that rolls video, 360-degree viewing and social networking into one high-end\u00a0retail package. The product itself debuted at last year\u2019s Big Show, but it\u2019s here at the 2015 show again, promoting its alliance with Neiman Marcus and its roll out at the luxury store\u2019s Walnut Creek, Calif., outlet. The MemoryMirror is designed for in-store clothes shopping, capturing stills\u00a0and video of everything the customer tries on. It’s not in the dressing room — that was deemed too creepy — but is located right outside, in a common area. Using simple body gestures, or via a\u00a0companion mobile app, the mirror can be controlled to see 360-degree back and side views, observe\u00a0outfits side by side, and change the color of the clothing. For retailers, the MemoryMirror can gather shopper data by measuring and analyzing in-store behavior.<\/p>\n Finally, after the customer has gathered and tried on his or her items, it\u2019s time to check out. Increasingly, retailers are employing new POS systems to ease that friction point. Whether it\u2019s checking out via an app, through an associate with at tablet, their own smartphone or a traditional POS, consumers today are demanding a seamless, easy payment experience.<\/p>\n At NRF 2015, Retail Pro is demonstrating its comprehensive and flexible software that is aimed at helping retailers evolve their omni-channel strategies.
