In 2024, retail employees are empowered by AI-enhanced apps and wearables like Augmodo SmartBadges that streamline tasks and provide real-time insights, ultimately enhancing the in-store customer experience. The wearable SmartBadges features a Spatial AI assistant for store associates capable of recommending actions and tasks to increase efficiency.
With Augmodo, the only real-time inventory and task tracker using wearable SmartBadges to create live 3D store maps, store associates may get recommendations for restocking shelves, placing orders and measures to take to boost compliance.
Although retailers lose an estimated $1.75 trillion in revenue worldwide due to out-of-stock products, preventable returns and overstocks, Augmodo’s innovations are poised to reduce 11.7% of lost revenue. "Artificial Intelligence is already changing retail, and new advances in AR and spatial computing are about to completely transform the physical world of shopping as we know it," says Ross Finman, founder and CEO at Augmodo.
