Powershelf CEO Heads Smart Retail Panel Shares Insight on Creating a Smarter Retail Environment
Santa Clara, Calif. (PRWEB) May 11, 2016 -- Powershelf CEO John White is set to lead the “Opportunities for Beacons, NFC, LBS and Contextual Applications” IoT Smart Retail panel on Thursday, May 12, 2016 at 4:30 pm at the Santa Clara Convention Center. During the Internet of Things World, the world’s largest and most comprehensive IoT event, White will educate retailers on the benefits of creating a smart retail environment.
Powershelf uses IoT technology to reduce out of stocks (OOS), streamline inventory management, enable dynamic pricing, digitally engage consumers in their shopping and improve the overall retail experience. Current research suggests a retailer is out of stock an average of 8 percent, and for a retailer like Wal-Mart, that can equate to tens of billions of dollars in lost sales. As the founder of Powershelf, the leading provider of retail technology solutions with two-way communications delivering advertising, merchandising availability, promotional and pricing services to customers, White will cover the gamut of the following opportunities for Beacons, NFC, LBS and Contextual Applications:
- Revolutionizing in store and online retail experiences
- Examining the range of applications: i.e. Supply Chain Control; NFC Payments; Intelligent Shopping Applications; Smart Product Management
- Where are the revenue & partnership opportunities?
- Maintaining privacy and security
- Communicating Data Use Policies and Practicing Digital Ethics
- Best practices for using user data
“From connected consumer engagement to smarter retail experiences, we are uncovering the benefits for both consumers and retailers with apps and beacons to eventually eliminate fines associated with inaccurate pricing structures to alerting consumers about out-of-stock goods,” said White. “Digital shelving is the ground that all retailers should embark on as an effort to positively influence the quality of shopping experiences for all consumers.”
