COVID\u201119, unfortunately, continues to accelerate, bringing serious changes to business models established over decades \u2014 disrupting people\u2019s lives and economies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Let\u2019s talk about how to grow your business and get maximum feedback from customers.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where possible, offline businesses are now trying to move online or adopt an omnichannel model, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/idmc.com.ua\/tendenczii-rynka-digital-signage-v-2020-godu-nastoyashhee-i-chto-nas-zhdet-v-budushhem\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which we covered in one of our earlier articles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That means traditional communication methods are becoming outdated and being replaced by innovative, technological Digital Signage solutions \u2014 centralized content\u2011management systems across different playback devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>One of the most effective ways to grow your business is high\u2011quality multifunctional digitalization that will powerfully highlight your niche among competitors.

The supermarket concept combines offline and online shopping to make the process as convenient as possible for customers. In the store, shoppers can scan QR codes on products to receive additional product information or special discounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payment can also be made through the Hema app, making purchases fast and convenient, and ALL transaction data<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is made available to the network, which increases the likelihood of repeat purchases in the short term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another impressive element is the digital restaurant at Hema, served by robots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers can use the app to reserve a table and place an order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Robots completely replace the work of waitstaff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A rather impressive sight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/idmc.com.ua\/novyj-proekt-innovative-dmc-dlya-kafe-tdo-cafe-bistro-v-londone\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our partners at TDO Cafe\u2011Bistro in London, while NOT yet fully robotizing their processes, have installed a <\/span><b>Digital Signage solution<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> based on the iDS Cloud hardware\u2011software platform and a centralized content\u2011management system in the HoReCa segment, enabling full remote control of caf\u00e9 business processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h4><b><\/b> <b>Autonomous shopping carts \u2014 7Fresh<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In another part of China, Alibaba\u2019s competitor JD.com opened the high\u2011tech supermarket 7Fresh, which debuted in 2018 and includes technology that makes shopping as convenient as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One key feature is the SMART shopping cart that follows customers around the store (instead of being pushed).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This allows customers to keep their hands free to care for children or handle other tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ukrainian retail market is also rapidly developing and digitalizing. One of our successful projects was implemented for a chain of children\u2019s toy supermarkets. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/idmc.com.ua\/vnedrenie-resheniya-digital-signage-v-krupnejshej-seti-magazinov-detskih-igrushek-bi-budinok-igrashok\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We proposed a conceptual approach to the project \u2014 a centralized content\u2011management format for the Bi \u201cHouse of Toys\u201d network:<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centralized management of audio (advertising\/informational and background) content with flexible playlist creation (including variable volume levels);<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multi\u2011level control of video playback on advertising monitors along counters and in store windows;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centralized control of content on interactive panels and touch monitors placed in specific store zones according to the updated brand book.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h4><b><\/b> <b>Specsavers\u2019 Frame Styler tool<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing glasses can be long and exhausting \u2014 customers try on dozens of pairs before finding the right fit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018 Specsavers launched a new in\u2011store service to simplify this process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frame Styler is an image\u2011processing software tool that creates a 3D model of the customer\u2019s face on a tablet. Based on that model, it selects frames that best fit the face shape, gender and age. Customers can then virtually try on several styles in 3D, quickly comparing pairs in seconds. It\u2019s also completely safe and hygienic (especially relevant during a pandemic). You don\u2019t need to put dozens of previously tried\u2011on frames on your face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A convenient and timely technology that simplifies trying on and choosing the perfect glasses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Importantly, this feature makes eyewear selection safe and available in both offline and online stores across the network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So take note of this idea \u2014 we\u2019d be glad to help implement it in your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h4><b><\/b> <b>Nike\u2019s global flagship store<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018 Nike opened the \u201cNike House of Innovation 000\u201d store in New York. As the name suggests, it impresses with digital elements that create an immersive and vivid message for shoppers, elevating the consumer experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This app is especially relevant for fans of online shopping. Often a favorite pair of sneakers is found online but is out of stock in the store.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cSpeed Shop\u201d feature allows customers to reserve footwear online to try in\u2011store.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers place an order on the website, then come to the store, find a locker labeled with their name (which can be unlocked with a smartphone), and try on their shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h4><b><\/b> <b>Amazon Go \u2014 automated checkout<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon continues to grow and remains No. 1 in global e\u2011commerce.

Users can pay with their Target REDcard or a credit card and also receive discounts. As in\u2011app customer activity grows, this payment technology can be an excellent way to increase sales and engage customers actively.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li>\n<h4><b>Interactive windows \u2014 Ted Baker<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Windows are the face and magnet of stores.

But Ted Baker made a breakthrough by making its storefronts interactive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In collaboration with Nexus Studios, they installed interactive windows at their Regent Street store to promote the \u201cKeep Up With The Bakers\u201d campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passersby were invited to approach the window, activate the camera, have their photo taken, then see themselves integrated into scenes from the \u201cKeep Up With The Bakers\u201d film and share the result on social media. Everyone could also enter a prize draw to win \u00a31,000 in store credit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This interactive technology not only encouraged passersby to enter the store but also increased interest in the Ted Baker brand, making it truly notable and successful.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li>\n<h4><b><\/b> <b>Innovative Audi VR showroom<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Car buying can start at home.
