Innovation
Successful innovation is increasingly important for all retailers as they move towards implementing an omnichannel strategy. Retailers want to implement things fast but also ensure they are making the best technology decisions. As a result setting up trials of new technologies is becoming the normal way to evaluate and decide which technologies to invest in and roll out across the whole estate. The key issue is being able to set up trials easily and fast.
Pierhouse help you get trials running quickly
We've invested in simplifying our software and implemention processes so that we can implement bounded trials easily and quickly. If a retailer subsequently decides to roll out a NetTickIT solution across all their stores they can do so using exactly the same software. This makes implementation much more straightforward. The software can still grow with the retailer to enhance and add more data sources or add additional output devices. We spend a lot of time testing products from vendors of handheld terminals, printers, digital screens, electronic shelf edge labels and other devices to ensure that they work smoothly with NetTickIT as well as continually improving our own products and capabilities.
What's hot?
The challenge that retailers are currently faced with is how to grow profitability. This has led to retailers talking to us about tickets that sell more products at the shelf edge and new features of those tickets such as QR codes and customer reviews. We are also being asked to help some retailers who have the more fundamental problem of managing and organising data to make their processes run more effectively and with increased compliance. We are also talking to a number of retailers about trials that use electronic shelf edge labels with complimentary paper price tickets and digital screens in defined category segments within their stores.
Pierhouse is always researching new technologies and process improvements that will help retailers improve how they work and increase profitability.
If you are planning a trial that involves any form of promotional signage management in your stores please contact us.
Pierhouse love retail and we share what we learn with customers.
