Asset Tracking, ESLs, and the Power of the Low Code Platform: Retail Reinvented

Today's retail environment is marked by a seamless blend of digital and physical interactions. As the industry embraces a tech-centric approach, asset tracking and ESLs, underpinned by Sticky’s low code and NFC technology, are transforming customer experiences and operations from the ground up, automating processes for greater efficiency and engagement.

Asset Tracking: The Backbone of Modern Retail

Effective asset tracking has emerged as the backbone of retail logistics, providing atransparent overview of stock movement and inventory levels. Sticky leverages NFC to ensure accuracy, security, and reduce the time spent in managing stock, allowing businesses to focus on innovation, engagement, and customer service. Automated systems further streamline these processes, enhancing responsiveness and reducing manual effort.

The ESL Revolution

Electronic Shelf Labels are enhancing the way retailers communicate with customers. These smart labels offer real-time updates on pricing, promotions, and stock levels, streamlining operations and enriching the shopping experience. Beyond pricing, the Sticky ESL canactivate personalised interactions, guiding shoppers through a curated retail journey, including fast, automated checkout under 10 seconds.

Innovation Beyond the Shop Floor

In the realm of window displays, NFC-enabled Stickies are not just a means to displayproduct information but are becoming a gateway for shoppers to connect with brands in new and exciting ways. Sticky technology allows consumers to interact with products through their smartphones at any time, merging the immediacy of physical retail with the convenience of mobile shopping, facilitated by automated interactions.
