Smart Retail: Revolutionizing the Shopping Experience Post-Pandemic

August 29, 2023 5:54 PM

The retail industry has undergone a massive transformation in recent years, with the advent of smart retail or In-Store Commerce. It is the integration of technology into the traditional retail environment to enhance the customer experience, streamline operations, and boost sales. While smart retail is still in its early stages, especially here in the Philippines, it has shown its potential to revolutionize the retail industry and transform the shopping experience for both retailers and customers. By leveraging the power of technology, retailers can create more personalized, efficient, and engaging experiences that meet the needs and preferences of their customers. In-Store Commerce offers several benefits to both retailers and customers. Some of these benefits include:

In-Store Commerce Customer Journey

Real-time inventory data

Smart retail can help retailers optimize their inventory management by providing real-time inventory data. Be able to monitor online stock easily on the ChatGenie Dashboard and stay on top of restocking and order tracking.

Integration with mobile payment systems, allowing customers to complete transactions using their smartphones

This feature eliminates the need for cash or credit cards and provides customers with a fast, secure, and convenient way to pay for their purchases. By offering multiple payment options, retailers can increase conversion rates and cater to the preferences of their customers to create a more seamless and frictionless shopping experience. Additionally, mobile payments can help retailers reduce the risk of fraud and theft, as they are more secure than traditional payment methods.

Increased sales and revenue

In-Store Commerce also enables retailers to leverage the power of social media and other digital marketing channels to reach customers and build brand awareness. By integrating these channels with in-store experiences, retailers can create a seamless, omnichannel experience that meets customers where they are and drives engagement and sales.

Reduction in operational costs

As mentioned earlier, In-Store Commerce can help streamline checkout processes, reduce wait times, and improve the overall shopping experience for customers. It results in enhanced supply chain management, and improves employee productivity and job satisfaction through the use of automation and other technologies, freeing up time for more meaningful tasks.

Real-time analytics and insights, allowing retailers to track customer behavior and preferences and make data-driven decisions to improve their offerings and marketing strategies

Smart retail provides retailers with the opportunity to collect more data about their customers, which can be used to gain valuable insights and make better business decisions. By viewing pertinent customer data on the ChatGenie Dashboard, retailers can track customer behavior. This data can then be analyzed to identify trends, preferences, and pain points, allowing retailers to tailor their offerings and marketing strategies to better meet the needs of their customers.

In-Store Commerce in the Wild

With ChatGenie’s In-Store Commerce experience, users can Scan-to-Order, Scan-to-Redeem, and Scan-to-Get-Exclusives. Since In-Store Commerce is yet to become burgeoning practice in the Philippines, we looked to Bangkok to see what’s in store for us. The convenience of In-Store Commerce was epitomized by an IKEA billboard in the city. The billboard, located at a high-traffic train station, featured products with their respective QR codes displayed. Once scanned, the user would be taken to the product page, they could add them to their cart, and purchase the item anytime, anywhere.

In-Store Commerce is transforming the retail industry by harnessing the power of technology to create personalized experiences, streamline operations, and drive growth - both online and offline. Retailers who embrace this trend are likely to see increased customer loyalty, improved sales, and higher profits. It is a game-changer for the retail industry, and its impact is only expected to grow in the coming years. As more retailers adopt these technologies, we can expect to see a more connected, efficient, and personalized shopping experience for customers, which will ultimately drive growth and profitability for businesses.

ChatGenie’s Evals Process for Production-Ready Chatbots

May 6, 2025 3:16 PM

With today's large language models (LLMs), building a proof-of-concept (POC) for a chatbot is relatively easy, but turning that into a production-ready system is far more challenging. Early prototypes often impress in demos but can behave unpredictably in real-world use. The AI hype led to an explosion of AI projects and investments that have yet to produce return on investment. In large enterprises nearly nine out of 10 senior decision-makers said they have gen AI pilot fatigue and are shifting their investments to projects that will improve business performance, according to a recent survey from NTT DATA.”
