Business challenge Solution
If you aren’t able to give customers tailored buying experiences, you risk losing their business to competitors who do. The PSS allows you to see — in great detail — what’s in a customer’s shopping cart as well as maintain a record of purchases for an ongoing picture of buying habits. You’re able to use this information to develop customized messages and product offerings aimed at increasing sales and building customer loyalty.
You want to customize the customer’s shopping experience, but you can’t afford to invest in technology customers won’t use. The PSS is designed to be simple enough for every customer to easily understand and use, increasing the adoption of the technology and your return on investment.
You need to integrate your systems to reduce IT management costs and gain better insights into your retail operations. Because the PSS integrates with your existing point-of-sale systems, wireless infrastructure and enterprise applications, you are able to see what your customers are buying without overburdening your IT department with additional system design and maintenance.
Tight retail profit margins make it imperative to reduce your labor costs at the checkout line and in the retail aisle. Using the PSS card swipe reader, your customers are able to complete transactions themselves, reducing the need for cashiers. Customers also make more accurate selections in the aisles with the PSS, reducing your re-shelving costs.
