Roboticized Shopping…
An upcoming trend in shopping involves designer clothing hanging from metal ceiling racks that have easily accessible tags with QR Codes attached. As the users walks the store, they simply scan everything that appeals to them with their smart phone.
A robotic back office delivery system, automatically queues-up the appropriate items and delivers them to your dressing room via conveyor system. At this point the you can send for additional sizes or colors, or styles to be delivered. When the final selections are made, the user simply slides their Credit Card through a machine and leaves the store without ever having talked to a salesperson.
The main idea here is to provide the shopper with a hassle free shopping experience, especially for those who don’t like dealing with pushy salespeople, or for people who simply prefer to browse a lot and to make up their minds without input from others.
For many retailers, this scenario can allow for shops with much smaller square footage than conventional brick and mortar retailer, an allow for absolute minimum staffing. The end result can be much lower operational overhead, making the retailer more competitive with other businesses.
