In a recent episode of the Intelligent Logistics Podcast, hosted by Position Imaging, Greg Brantner, Director of Marketing and Matthew Knopf, VP of Partnership, discuss the shift in consumer buying habits, the rise of omni-channel shopping, and the evolving technology trends in retail.

Retail Landscape and the Rise of Omni-channel Shopping

Online shopping in the US surpassed $95 billion in 2022, forming just 9% of total e-commerce sales. The podcast reveals how two-thirds of all US retail chains now offer click-and-collect services. However, there’s room to provide a smoother, friction-free, self-service-based experience as technology utilization increases in the retail sector.

Position Imaging’s iPickUp Point: The Future of Retail Shopping

Position Imaging’s innovative product, iPickUp Point, combines computer vision, artificial intelligence and mobile technology to offer a unique click-and-collect process to customers. This technology not only digitalizes the entire buying process but also drastically reduces customer wait times by enabling a self-serve model for both pick-ups and returns.

Opportunities and Challenges for Retailers

Staffing issues and operational inefficiencies plague today’s retail industry. Position Imaging’s iPickUp Point can enhance customer experience and improve operational efficiency by automating tasks like match and verify, reducing labor costs, and increasing theft detection and deterrence.

A Glimpse into the Future

The retail sector is undergoing a transformation, with stores becoming mini-logistics and fulfillment centers. Enhanced by products like iPickUp Point, these outlets provide cost-efficient solutions for customer pick-ups, thereby creating a delicate balance between footfall and online purchases.

Explore this transformative journey in retail technology with Position Imaging’s Intelligent Logistics Podcast. Join the discussion and stay tuned for more insights.
