Applications of IoT in Retail

There are several examples of how Retail IoT transforms our day-to-day shopping experience. It has become a matter of interest and is given greater importance to understanding retail IoT solutions. Here are some of the retail IoT applications:

  • Real-time inventory tracking:
    Retailers and manufacturers can use real-time inventory tracking to reduce inefficiencies due to inaccurate stock levels. Live shelf monitoring can help get information about when an item has been sold or removed from it.
  • Point-of-sale integration:
    Connecting your point-of-sale system to a mobile app allows you to create customized shopping experiences. It also helps to maintain effective communication with customers. This can be done through live updates about special offers, daily deals, new products, upcoming events and any other pertinent information that could improve customer retention rates.
  • Location-based services:
    GPS is another essential aspect of a successful retail IoT solution. It helps connect customers with their favourite stores or nearby stores that might carry a product they're looking for. Mobile apps also offer incentives to customers who visit a store and check-in through an app.
  • Self-checkout:
    With self-checkout systems, customers can scan and pay for their purchases on their own, reducing wait times at checkout counters and cutting down on costs related to staffing. Using a mobile app allows you to take payments from customers even when you're not physically present in your store.
  • In-store marketing:
    Bluetooth beacons or QR’s placed throughout a store can help customers get information about any product such as its price or rating when they are close to it. Customers also receive coupons and other offers through mobile apps, making shopping more accessible and convenient.
