Episode summary

In this episode, Pareiya Gupta, Director of Product Innovation and Corporate Development at GreyOrange, discusses how smart retail technology is bringing the retail experience back to focusing on what’s most important: connecting with customers.

Take a sudden rainstorm hitting New York. Corporate headquarters can’t react quickly to local weather, but a smart shop floor can fill the gap. Instead of workers scanning items manually with clunky handheld guns, overhead ceiling sensors instantly track umbrellas and jackets hidden in the back room. Systems map the fastest path for the staff, pushing stress-free alerts to their phones. By the time a soaked customer walks in, an associate is already out front, fully stocked and ready to help.
