As customer demands shift, the need for reduced out-of-stocks, enhanced operational efficiency, and smarter decisions rise as well. An increase in technology helps meet these consumer demands, in-store or online. Research shows that 86% of retailers expect to increase investment in intelligent automation over the next two years. Without intelligent automation, businesses can be left unequipped to handle the shift in customer demands and will instead suffer from improper inventory visibility and a confused workforce.

Luckily, you can maintain accurate retail operations and enhanced inventory management with innovative technology. Choose IFS’s leading field service communication solutions and Zebra for smarter and more reliable tracking systems that help make the shopping experience faster and seamless. Maximize customer satisfaction with these features…

  1. Optimized curbside pickup with faster notifications. Send real-time alerts to your associates when customers arrive to deliver simplified convenience and safety. Employees can scan customer coupons, take additional payment, and print receipts all while the customer remains in their vehicle. Empowering your store associates with smarter technology solutions helps them efficiently pick products from shelves and prepare orders for faster pickups.
  2. Adapts to fast demands with versatile functionality. Extended capabilities like docking solutions, batteries, chargers, and keyboards lower your total cost of ownership and help your business stay prepared for upcoming challenges. When your business is more prepared, it stays productive and efficient.
  3. Streamlined communication in your operations with industry-leading wireless connectivity solutions like Zebra’s Workforce Connect. When your workers can connect from virtually anywhere, any time, they can efficiently connect to any operation in your supply chain. Boosted communication helps workers eliminate confusion to reduce shipping errors, which helps reduce out-of-stocks.
  4. Simplified visibility in your storefront with real-time data and information access. When your workers have access to critical asset data in remote areas and displays that make it easy to view information, they are more aware of where and how much of an asset their stores have. This reduces out-of-stocks because they can accurately and efficiently fulfill orders.
  5. Effectively managed business security that protects real-time tracking in your business. Zebra’s Mobility DNA software equips your business with better security and management. Easier management and fortified security help ensure your assets are secure, so you can have streamlined visibility in your store.
