As personalization and recognition across channels becomes a greater expectation among shoppers, increasingly retailers have turned to customer relationship management (CRM) technology for assistance. Leading innovators are creating systems that ‘log’ customers into physical stores to trigger recommendations and in-store activations, as well as inform assistants to deliver personalized service, all while simultaneously syncing customer experiences both on- and offline.
From PSFK and Microsoft’s Retail Trends Frolicbook 2020, here are three examples that demonstrate how brands are investing in channel-to-channel software to optimize fluidity in their customer cycles:
Nike Home of Innovation 000
The Manhattan-based store from the athletic wear and footwear brand Nike closely integrates the Nike+ membership app to supply customers with exclusive experiences, recommend products based on preceding purchases, and self-checkout. The app uses geofencing technology to automatically detect when they enter a store and updates their app with fundamental features to use in-store.
Alibaba x Guess
Alibaba partnered with fashion brand Guess to pilot Alibaba’s first FashionAI concept store featuring smart racks, smart mirrors and tall-tech fitting rooms. Storepers check in with a QR code or via facial recognition, and, as all items are RFID-enabled, when the shopper picks them up, they automatically appear in a smart mirror. The mirror subsequently proposes outfits to total the look either based on the customer’s preceding purchases or the store’s latest products.
Fabletics
Athleticwear brand Fabletics has a technologically enabled concept store middleed on an enhanced customer experience. Their proprietary OmniSuite POS technology allows customers to seamlessly link to their online membership profiles during their in-store visit and gives employees the opportunity to offer them personalized product recommendations. The technology also enables customers to request dwhetherferent sizes and colors, check an item’s availability, or even get styling tips without having to leave their fitting room.
