Last week’s retail technology deals at a glance
RTIH rounds up the stand out retail systems deals, deployments, initiatives and pilots from the past seven days, including Best Buy, Pizza Hut, Boux Avenue, Sofology and M.Video.
Best Buy has signed on to Criteo’s retail media platform.
Advertisers can use the cross retailer, self-service offering to reach BestBuy.com and BestBuy.ca shoppers in the US and Canada, via sponsored products.
English Premier League club Chelsea F.C. has deployed Fiserv’s Clover platform.
More than 200 Clover PoS devices and handheld Clover Flex devices have been deployed to rolled out to enable contact free purchases at stadium food and beverage outlets, and for match day programmes, museum entrance and stadium tours.
Kitamura, a Japanese retailer offering image related services and products, has selected the Synchronoss Personal Cloud solution for integration into its online and retail channel.
This will give its customers the ability to back up and manage their digital content, including photos and videos, from any device.
M.Video, part of Russian consumer electronics retailer M.Video-Eldorado Group, has launched AI powered personalised pricing for users of its mobile platform.
Customers who have signed into the app get guaranteed discounts based on their purchase history and available bonuses.
Personalised pricing for M.Video website customers will be launched in the near future.
PizzaExpress has deployed Qlik Cloud to give UK employees access to real-time data for improved decision making.
It first deployed Qlik in 2018, providing its teams with an overview of restaurant data. This included datasets for sales, inventory and labour.
It is now transitioning to analytics through Qlik’s hosted and managed cloud infrastructure, which enables it to centralise data management and distribution.
Contentsquare has announced a partnership with Pizza Hut involving customer experiences across the retailer’s digital channels.
The Digital Ventures team at Pizza Hut has leveraged Contentsquare’s customer behaviour insights to learn how consumers interact with certain areas of their website.
Since adopting the platform, the team says that it has identified several opportunities to drive experimentation, tailor personalisation, and optimise customer journeys across the site.
Furniture retailer Sofology has gone live with Hullabalook’s Stickers technology.
The latter has also added the following new features: a flip functionality for better product positioning; users can choose floor (carpet/wood) and wall (plain/panelled) types.
There is also a new product search bar, and Hullabalook has included a secondary colour band for more specific colour searches.
UK lingerie brand Boux Avenue has teamed up with Appointedd to offer a new online bra fitting booking service.
Shoppers will now be able to make in-store appointments from their homes, via the Boux Avenue booking site.
These are up to 30 minutes and, with the coronavirus outbreak at front of mind, both a ‘no-touch’ and ‘regular’ bra fitting will be offered to customers, depending on their preference.
