Artificial Intelligence – Amazon Product Recommendations

Amazon and Alibaba are among the earliest to have leveraged big data and AI algorithms to transform retail. Amazon, has used AI since the Internet giant’s earliest days to come up with product recommendations.

Page 6: EXPONENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES SHAPPING THE ......manner, thereby Deeping their engagement with customers… In an increasingly competitive environment, digital transformation is, indeed,

Artificial Intelligence – Amazon Go

The use of AI and machine learning also enabled Amazon to launch its Alexa voice assistant; to offer cloud-based services to users of Amazon Web Services (AWS), and to allow shoppers to take products and exit Amazon Go grocery stores without passing a checkout. .

Artificial Intelligence – Alibaba “New Retail” strategy

China-based Alibaba is using AI and other advanced technologies to bridge bricks-and-mortar retail with e-commerce and to

improve the overall retail experience for consumers.

Customers can shop in-store or via Hema Xiansheng’s app, scan QR codes to see the origins of products, have food delivered for

free or ready for pickup within 30 minutes, and to pay using facial recognition technology.

Page 8: EXPONENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES SHAPPING THE ......manner, thereby Deeping their engagement with customers… In an increasingly competitive environment, digital transformation is, indeed,

Artificial Intelligence – Walmart “Scan and Go Shopping”.

Customers in pharmacy and checkout areas can use the Walmart app to settle payment, bypassing the traditional checkout

process. Walmart also uses facial recognition technology to identify unhappy or frustrated shoppers, enabling it to assign more

sales associates to help, as needed.

Artificial Intelligence – AI shopping guide

In China, Japanese clothing chain Uniqlo has launched an AI shopping guide, Xiaoyou, on its official WeChat account. Users

can interact with Xiaoyou by scanning QR codes printed on product tags, or through voice search and text search.

Internet of Things - Radio-frequency identification (RFID)

• Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is among the first retail applications of the IoT

• The use of RFID tags – a type of tracking system that uses smart barcodes to track and identify items – allows retailers to take

end-to-end control of inventory, tracking goods at each step through the purchasing process.

• Lululemon, Canadian athletic apparel retailer, uses RFID tags to update and check inventory levels across its stores worldwide.

As a result, its inventory accuracy reportedly improved to 98%.

Internet of Things – Retail Assist

View the list of customers in the virtual queue and those who

are checked in at the store

•Detected through beacons at the store

Visibility of the wait times of customers in store

•Since the time the user was detected at the store

•Sorted by time of wait

View Shopping Cart of a Customer

Customer Profile Summary to view the service details

•Shows current total outstanding balance

•Plan details of Voice/Data/Text balances

Sales associates can use wireless tablets to assist

customers on the spot, and check inventory for size, color and price.

Page 12: EXPONENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES SHAPPING THE ......manner, thereby Deeping their engagement with customers… In an increasingly competitive environment, digital transformation is, indeed,

Internet of Things – Beacons

• “Beacons” are another common IoT application. These devices use low-energy Bluetooth connections to give shoppers valuable

information about sales and other promotions accessible in nearby stores.

• This location-based information is displayed on shoppers’ smartphones.

• With beacon technology, brands and retailers can more easily reach their target audiences and provide an engaging experience.

Page 13: EXPONENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES SHAPPING THE ......manner, thereby Deeping their engagement with customers… In an increasingly competitive environment, digital transformation is, indeed,

Internet of Things – Click & Collect

• The IoT is also being used increasingly to track product deliveries.

• More and more retailers have introduced “Click and Collect” services which allow online customers to pick up their purchases

at conveniently-located physical stores.

• This requires more precise inventory tracking. With IoT technology, all products can be better monitored and more intelligently

tracked when in transit.

Smart stores - “Nike Live”

Nike rolled out “Nike Live” in Los Angeles. It is a concept store leveraging digital data from its user community to tailor in-

store omnichannel experiences, including try-ons, order pick-ups, and to determine which products to display.

Page 15: EXPONENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES SHAPPING THE ......manner, thereby Deeping their engagement with customers… In an increasingly competitive environment, digital transformation is, indeed,

Smart stores - “FashionAI” pop-up store

Alibaba debuted a “FashionAI” pop-up store in China with apparel retailer Guess, using smart mirror technology, RFID, machine learning, and computer vision to bring mix-and-match styling to customers in-store.

Page 16: EXPONENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES SHAPPING THE ......manner, thereby Deeping their engagement with customers… In an increasingly competitive environment, digital transformation is, indeed,

AR and VR technologies - IKEA

• The use of immersive technologies, particularly augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), is about to become the norm for

omnichannel retailing and brand experiences. • IKEA released an AR catalogue app that let customers see how various furniture items would look in their own homes. Similarly, in 2017, Ikea

created an AR app called “Ikea’s Place” which allows shoppers to access 3,200 items from Ikea’s inventory via a live view function on their smart phone that also lets them see how specific items would look in their home.

AR and VR technologies - Macy’s

• U.S. department store chain Macy’s has launched VR furniture shopping experiences in about 70 of its stores nationwide

• Shoppers can design a living space with 3D furniture images and use VR headsets to “move” through the space to see if they like

an item before making purchase

• Additionally, Macy’s has launched an AR-enabled tool, “Visualize Your Space”, on its app. It allows users to place Macy’s furniture

virtually into photos of their home, testing how the furniture might fit there.

Page 18: EXPONENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES SHAPPING THE ......manner, thereby Deeping their engagement with customers… In an increasingly competitive environment, digital transformation is, indeed,

AR and VR technologies - Zara

Zara rolled out an AR app in the U.S., allowing customers to point smart phones at store windows or in-store sensors and see

models come to life on their screens – walking and even talking – wearing selected items from the Zara range, which they can then

click on and buy.

Page 19: EXPONENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES SHAPPING THE ......manner, thereby Deeping their engagement with customers… In an increasingly competitive environment, digital transformation is, indeed,

AR and VR technologies - Beauty retailers

Sephora L’Oreal

• Beauty retailers such as Sephora, L’Oreal and Charlotte Tilbury have launched AR mirrors that enable customers to

try on cosmetics products virtually.

AR and VR technologies - Starbucks

• Starbucks opened the world’s largest Starbucks Reserve Roastery, in Shanghai, in December 2017

• Customers can use the Starbucks AR-enabled app to point at different features around the Roastery to read the Starbucks

bean-to-cup story rendered in fun visuals and animations.

Page 21: EXPONENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES SHAPPING THE ......manner, thereby Deeping their engagement with customers… In an increasingly competitive environment, digital transformation is, indeed,

Growing adoption of robotics

• Pepper, a humanoid robot developed by Japanese conglomerate Softbank and rolled out in Japan and some other countries, is

already reshaping the shopping

• Q Square Shopping Mall in Taipei Pepper interacts with customers by giving directions and information, as well as greetings, and

by informing shoppers about promotions and events in the mall

• Pepper also plays music, dances, illuminates itself and takes selfies with customers. As early as 2016, KFC China launched a

voice-controlled robot in one of its Shanghai stores to take orders and suggest dishes based on customers’ previous orders.

Page 22: EXPONENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES SHAPPING THE ......manner, thereby Deeping their engagement with customers… In an increasingly competitive environment, digital transformation is, indeed,

Voice commerce to grow

• The advent of voice assistants is changing the way people research products, compare prices and make purchases.

• Now, consumers can simply “talk” to smart home assistants and ask them to search products online, add them to shopping lists

or even complete the buying process.

• Use smart speakers to collect data on users’ preferences and speech patterns, but more importantly, to ensure users stay within

their ecosystem of services. This is especially useful for e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba and JD.com

Chatbot

Whole Foods launched a Messenger chatbot for finding recipes with emojisCustomers are able to tap into a recipe database from their phones and use artificial intelligence to converse with a robot chef.A new chatbot will let customers browsing through the store find products, and then, with a few taps in a Facebook Messenger chatbot, find recipes for an upcoming meal. But it’s more than just a chat with an A.I. agent who knows how to cook. Customers can select an emoji, like a jalapeno or a banana, and then see recipes that involve those products.
