Smart Retail - Sensor to Sunset™ Solutions from Arrow
IoT will soon be ubiquitous in Retail. The Retailer digital transformation is a must and it is being caused by competition, informed and digitally savvy consumers and new business models entering the market. The Retailer challenge is to continuously provide value, innovate and create a loyal and connected customer experience. Retailers are recognizing how IoT through data collection and aggregation, advanced analytics are providing better insights into the overall customer journey. Insights that are significantly improving customer engagement, store operations and the unified commerce marketplace.
One of the key channels Retail is seeking to exploit is the consumer channel to the connected home experience. A market growing at 20% CAGR for the next five years. How does Retail seamlessly leverage this channel with an IoT approach that meets their strategic goals? Retail is experimenting to find the right combination of technologies that are future proof, can quickly scale and provide value. The Innovative Retailer is using technology to help differentiate and provide better visibility into the customer journey.
A unified integration in Retail is needed across many disparate channels and point solutions involved with community, personalization, offline and online experiences, mobile, analog technologies and partner collaborations. Retailers are only using three percent of the data results from delivering and scaling their key transformation initiatives and many times have talent gaps in areas such as 1) business intelligence and 2) data analytics, where lack of knowledge base in digital marketing can be the differentiator.
Arrow guides its customers to find the right fit partner ecosystem typically comprising of device/sensor manufacturers, system integrators, original equipment manufacturers (OEM), software and analytics vendors and application developers to address Retailer’s top business challenges.
Arrow’s proven expertise is in accelerating the Retailers digital transformation through IoT hardware, software, engineering services design and integration.
