Smart shopping with IoT.

Retail IoT Solutions creating smart retail
The retail industry is harnessing the power of IoT to learn about customer trends and to enhance the overall shopping experience. IoT connectivity enables retailers to develop in-store engagement, analyse buying habits, monitor footfall, and to maximise supply chain efficiency.
Enhance the smart shopping experience with IoT
As technology has developed over the years, the number of shoppers migrating from high street to online retailers has increased exponentially. In many cases, this has put strain on walk-in stores, and many people are now talking about “the death of the high street”. Fortunately, developments in IoT are allowing us to synergise the digital and physical entities of retail, helping businesses meet the diverse expectations of all their customers.
IoT payment solutions creating smart retail
Taking payment is a part of every transaction, but this can be difficult in hard-to-reach places where a wired solution isn’t possible. By equipping your IoT EPOS system or payment terminals with multi-network M2M SIM cards, you can guarantee that you are always connected to the strongest network connection in your area. Slow transactions and resorting to cash due to being unable to take digital payments are things of the past thanks to IoT. Find the perfect connectivity option for your payment solution…
Streamlining the supply chain with IoT
IoT asset tracking solutions allow businesses to monitor their stock in real-time, giving them the ability to pinpoint the location of specific assets in transit, and allowing employees to check stock availability instantaneously. IoT asset management and protection not only increases the efficiency of supply chains in retail, it reduces the risk of shrinkage and damage of goods too. Thieves are deterred and the likelihood of recovering stock is increased.
Automating the supply chain doesn’t stop at asset tracking. Connected cabinets and vending machines can be equipped with sensors and connectivity to monitor stock levels and analyse storage conditions. By alerting staff when your shelves need to be restocked or if your goods aren’t being stored at their optimum temperature, you can ensure that your shelves remain full and fewer goods go to waste. This data can also be used to monitor customer behaviour and buying habits. Connected cabinets are particularly beneficial in shops selling food or pharmaceuticals.
