Remote Retail Shop - "Pay-As-You-Use" |
 
An increasingly demanding retail environment requires constant innovation, particularly the exploration of novel and profitable sales and marketing models. Online shopping has shown that more and more consumers prefer shopping from home instead of visiting retail shops. Additionally, the sheer number and turnover of products, particularly of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), mean that retail stores need huge storage spaces for their stock.
Our Remote Retail Shop allows shoppers to hold their own stock of products at home or within their businesses and only pay when products are used (pay-as-you-use) either on a sales or rental approach. The same system can be used to support self-replenishment systems where consumed products are regularly reordered to avoid stockouts (and therefore lost sales). Finally, this infrastructure can provide consumers with readily-available product information, including existing offers and promotional messages.
Who can benefit?
This solution is aimed at retailers offering a wide quantity and variety of non-perishable or long-life products in demanding markets where customer proximity is a source of competitive advantage. Examples of target products are apparel, medicines, food and beverages, toys, books and CDs and cosmetics. An ideal use for our Remote Retail Shop is in the hospitality industry, where for instance restaurants can have their own wine cellar and only pay for each bottle when uncorked. Networks of remote readers connected through the Internet detect and report the removal and/or opening of bottles and automatically charge the associated account.
Solving the problems
We want to hear from you if your sales involve fast moving products requiring significant storage space and subject to uncertain demand; and if your business is facing increasing competition requiring innovative approaches to sales and marketing. Get in touch if your organisation wants to increase sales by making your products and marketing information readily available for customers.
We have the solution
Remote Retail Shops require unique product identification through secure devices. RFID is inadequate because these tags can be easily cloned or transplanted; and pose significant privacy and security issues hence requiring deactivation or removal at the point of sale. Remote Retail Shops are only possible and cost-effective with our Silent Tags, which cannot be cloned or transplanted and provide security and privacy by design.
It’s your gain
With our Remote Retail Shops your business will increase operational efficiency by reducing stock in moving it to customers; increase sales by making products readily available at all times and assuring availability through automatic self-replenishment; and introduce new products which can be promoted “in house”.
