34 of the best AI Retail Applications right now - Insider Trends

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence or AI is changing retail in a number of ways. Using data to transform every aspect of retail from logistics to in-store customer experiences, AI at its best can enhance the most successful and enjoyable aspects of retail, and replace or improve those aspects that just aren't working. In this round-up, we cut through the clutter and give you an updated look at 34 of the very best examples of AI in retail right now. By combining AR and Livestreaming technologies, L'Oreal is enabling its customers to have a personalised makeup counter experience in the comfort of their own home. Customers can book a live-streaming appointment with a beauty assistant and have a digital makeup session. AR allows the customers to see what shade of lipstick works for them or whether they suit a dramatic eyeshadow. It is the same personalised experience that they would receive in store – and it's driven by data collection, with all aspects of each interaction captured to improve future engagements. It involves a simple scanner tool that you connect to your phone, and the app itself.


The four drivers of Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

An updated version of Marc Andreessen's famous quote, "Software is eating the world" probably is "AI is eating software." We tend to think of AI in incremental ways, and we need to urgently change that thought process because our approach to AI will demarcate the difference between linear thinking and transformational thinking. Most organizations want to use AI to cut costs and do the thing they are already doing faster and quicker; this is an incremental approach to AI, whereas we need to focus on the next-level use of AI, that exponentially transforms the way we have been doing things thus far by creating new systems. For example, Amazon Go (Amazon's retail store) isn't using AI to simply remove the role of the cashier, but it is designing a new retail experience that is data and information-driven. Thus, instead of simply putting a layer of AI on top of existing processes, Amazon Go is changing the average grocery-shopping exercise into an experience-driven activity that is all about data, understanding people, behavior and design layout. Similarly, the objective of driverless autonomous vehicles is not merely to eliminate the cost of the driver, but to change the way we travel and redesign the entire transportation industry as well as create ripple effects in the e-commerce and delivery industries.

With the evolution of technology, consumer behavior also continues to evolve. Naturally, to stay ahead of the competitive curve the retailers need to make more rigorous use of the customer data. As the data volume is increasing at a rapid pace Big Data analytics are being utilized by retailers to use the most relevant customer insights. But over time, even gathering large volumes of multifaceted user data for analytics didn't prove to be much useful. This is where new technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) cane with bigger promises.


People Tracking with Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

Is your window attracting effectively? How much your goods are easily available to a shopper? If you are an open-minded owner of a little grocery, or if you are a visual merchandiser of a clothing store, you need to know that these are typical examples of questions which AI can help to answer. Not only retailers adopt AI solution to improve customer experience but also to directly increase their business. In this way, a proper question can be: how much a particular store convert the outdoor footfall?


'It's the art of the possible': How Walmart and Target are harnessing AI to rocket past the competition

#artificialintelligence

Legacy retailers like Target and Walmart are upping artificial-intelligence efforts to get the desired products into the customer's hands easier, cheaper, and faster. The better-than-expected earnings for some firms -- along with the uneven performance of others -- demonstrates the potential that AI has to transform the retail industry and the treacherous road ahead to get there. Walmart, for instance, is rolling out new technology in thousands of its stores, with the goal of eliminating the "mundane" tasks done by store associates so they can spend more time with customers. "Pretty much everything that we focus on is just making things that you know and do today a lot easier," John Crecelius, Walmart's senior vice president of central operations, told Business Insider. "What makes this exciting and fun is the ecosystem you create. It's the art of the possible when you have several pieces of technology in the same store gathering data and interacting with each other."


Horizons - The Evolution of Value Chains

#artificialintelligence

Let's take a look at how value chains have changed from the days of markets and brick and mortar stores, and how they'll change even more in the Next Digital Economy. A product is made in a factory. It's transported to a retail store. Then, the customer walks into the store and buys it. The product is now shipped to a warehouse instead of a physical retail store.
