Transforming the retail customer journey
Transforming the retail customer journey is now a mandate, holding the key to winning the hearts and minds of today’s digitally-enabled shoppers.
But what does this really entail?
Retail transformation means meeting customers on their own terms. It includes the balance between giving shoppers the control they want while also being there to assist when they do want help—in ways that are personal, relevant and engaging.
It requires delivering a connected and seamless experience and using technology innovations to empower people throughout every step of the customer journey—from the digital experiences that make shopping fun and rewarding, to the productivity and collaboration solutions that allow retail employees to provide outstanding customer service, to the intelligent systems that provide deep insights and empower advanced decision-making and personalization.
Our new video brings this transformed retail experience to life. It showcases the power of a continuous shopping journey, where the digital and physical are seamlessly blended, and where the shopper, sales associate, and store manager are dynamically connected. Watch and see for yourself.
This seamless and connected customer journey is both our vision for retail’s future and a demonstration of our technologies in action. Through the power of data and digital experiences, all of this is now achievable.
