Augmented Reality (AR)

Augmented reality is one of the more common technologies already used by retailers globally. As brick-and-mortar stores increasingly face challenges due to the rise of eCommerce, traditional stores are on a journey to transform into showrooms. In these, AR supports vendors to increase the interaction with customers through smart dressing rooms, beacons, or AR catalog apps – resulting in increased customer satisfaction and higher sales.

Virtual Reality (VR)

Utilizing VR in physical stores massively increases opportunities for retailers. Specifically, retailers can draw from two core application cases. Firstly, the virtual redesign of a physical store allows for the optimization and even creation of a new experience for customers – every single time they enter that store. Secondly, the virtual demonstration of products holds great potential as shown by the clothing and cosmetics industry. Moreover, virtual reality offers to create a very personalized shopping experience thus overall improving it.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Through understanding customer behavior (including individual preferences) and anticipating what customers will purchase next, forward-looking retailers make use of artificial intelligence to drive sales. AI has a history of high accuracy as famously demonstrated by Target which predicted the pregnancy and due date of a 23-year old back in 2012. Said to eventually replace shopping assistants, AI also powers chatbots and voice-assisted shopping devices.

Mobile

With 82% of customers already consulting their smartphones before finalizing their purchase decision, the trend toward mobile will continue its significant influence on the retail sector. Vendors not only optimize their websites accordingly but also start to add emerging technologies such as AR- and VR-enhanced apps, smart packaging or upgraded mobile payment models to their business models to increase convenience for customers.

Internet of Things (IoT)

In the retail industry, the Internet of Things allows for the gathering of data which is further analyzed to enable more informed decision-making in regards to stock control, product placement, and increasing efficiency. RFID, NFC tags as well as different sensors are used for tracking items through the supply chain and keeping an eye on in-store inventory in real-time. Another application for the IoT in the retail industry is the utilization of iBeacons to send consumers notifications on their smartphones when passing by a store in a pursuit to increase sales.

Big Data

We have already established that consumers provide retailers with various data sources. However, this data is only valuable once vendors can make sense of it. When done right, the possibilities of big data range from forecasting product demand, optimizing the price range (markup and markdown optimization) to identifying target audiences.

Disruptive Startups In The Retail Industry Include:

  • Paris-based Augment connects on- and offline channels through an augmented reality platform, therefore creating a seamless omnichannel retail experience.
  • Virt brings “reality into virtual reality”. The startup’s technology allows retailers to upgrade from simple product or store photos to a virtual walk-through tour by using a 360-degree video rover which maps a location before deploying it cross-platform.
  • French startup Planorama makes use of deep learning algorithms and neural networks to equip vendors with actionable insights based on shelf pictures. Through leveraging AI, their solution analyzed and recognizes millions of product items.
  • SplitIt provides a unique way to make retail purchases by removing a barrier that often stops consumers to finalize a purchase. SplitIt 360° offers consumers to pay by using their existing credit cards and divide the total cost across as many interest-free payments as they choose.
  • Israeli WiseShelf develops a solution that is designed to improve stock status visibility via an appliance that is mounted on top of any standard retail shelf. Dozens of light sensors detecting the light level above them allow for a visual presentation of shelf planogram and can highlight products that need attention or special promotions.
  • Berlin-based MiNODES’ solution understands and retains customers. The startup provides consumer insights through a big data SaaS solution by integrating a comprehensive set of technologies and tools, including state-of-the-art WiFi, beacon, and camera technology.

To conclude, the retail industry is in the middle of an evolution that challenges traditional brick-and-mortar stores as well as online sellers. Ultimately, developing technologies along with new customer expectations will deeply impact the retail industry, making tomorrow’s shopping a personalized, faster, and more convenient experience.

Technologies such as 3D Printing & Imaging, in-store customization, biometrics, gamification, and face recognition shape the way consumers shop, calling for vendors to deploy these technologies in order to profit from this transition.

증강 현실 (AR)
증강 현실은 전세계 소매 업체가 이미 사용하고있는 가장 일반적인 기술 중 하나입니다. 전자 상거래의 증가로 인해 오프라인 매장이 점점 더 많은 문제에 직면함에 따라, 전통적인 매장은 쇼룸으로 전환하는 여정에 있습니다. AR은 공급 업체가 스마트 탈의실, 비콘 또는 AR 카탈로그 앱을 통해 고객과의 상호 작용을 향상시켜 고객 만족도를 높이고 매출을 높일 수 있도록 지원합니다.

가상 현실 (VR)
실제 매장에서 VR을 활용하면 소매 업체의 기회가 크게 증가합니다. 특히 소매 업체는 두 가지 핵심 애플리케이션 사례를 활용할 수 있습니다. 첫째, 실제 매장의 가상 재 설계를 통해 고객이 매장에 들어갈 때마다 새로운 경험을 최적화하고 심지어 새로운 경험을 창출 할 수 있습니다. 둘째, 의류 및 화장품 산업에서 볼 수 있듯이 제품의 가상 데모는 큰 잠재력을 가지고 있습니다. 또한 가상 현실은 매우 개인화 된 쇼핑 경험을 제공하여 전반적인 개선을 제공합니다.

인공 지능 (AI)
고객 행동 (개인 취향 포함)을 이해하고 고객이 다음에 무엇을 구매할지 예측함으로써 미래 지향적 소매 업체는 인공 지능을 사용하여 판매를 유도합니다. AI는 2012 년 23 세의 임신과 마감일을 예측 한 Target에서 잘 알려진 바와 같이 높은 정확도의 역사를 가지고 있습니다. AI는 결국 쇼핑 도우미를 대체하기 위해 챗봇과 음성 보조 쇼핑 장치를 구동합니다.

변하기 쉬운
고객의 82 %가 구매 결정을 마치기 전에 이미 스마트 폰을 컨설팅하고 있기 때문에 모바일 트렌드는 소매 부문에 계속 큰 영향을 미칩니다. 공급 업체는 그에 따라 웹 사이트를 최적화 할뿐만 아니라 AR 및 VR 강화 앱, 스마트 패키징 또는 업그레이드 된 모바일 결제 모델과 같은 새로운 기술을 비즈니스 모델에 추가하여 고객의 편의성을 높입니다.

빅 데이터
우리는 소비자가 소매 업체에 다양한 데이터 소스를 제공한다는 것을 이미 확립했습니다. 그러나이 데이터는 공급 업체가 이해할 수있는 경우에만 유용합니다. 올바르게 수행하면 빅 데이터의 가능성은 제품 수요 예측에서 가격 범위 최적화 (마크 업 및 마크 다운 최적화)에서 대상 고객 식별에 이르기까지 다양합니다.

소매 산업의 파괴적인 신생 기업은 다음과 같습니다.
