Abstract

Consumers in brick-and-mortar stores are increasingly expecting a personalised shopping experience and digital assistance in finding the right products. The retail industry has already undergone a shift towards more ubiquitous in-store technology but smart shopping assistance for consumers is notably absent. Whether physical product search, localisation and navigation could work with contemporary technology is an open question. In an applied research setting conducted on behalf of a retail technology provider, we have analysed the feasibility of introducing a smart shopping workflow based on product search and indoor navigation. In this paper we provide our findings with key contributions in workflow design, mobile application design, and technology fitting concerning localisation and notification of customers.
