Transforming Walmart stores with IoT technology
SES-imagotag , the global leader in digital solutions for physical retail , recently announced a multiyear strategic partnership with Walmart to bring its latest-generation VUSION platform to stores across the US . David Morgan , VP Customer Value Propositions at SES-imagotag , told us more about the partnership and the application of IoT technologies in retail .
How did the deal with Walmart come about ?
The partnership with Walmart started with a pilot in one of its Arkansas stores . The pilot successfully implemented key technologies to optimize associate productivity and improve the customer experience . Due to its initial success , the roll out was then expanded to a much larger set of locations across the country . Having seen multiple benefits from the trials , Walmart has expanded further on the collaboration that will see the deployment of SES-imagotag ’ s latest-generation VUSION platform within several hundred of its stores in the US . Over the next 12-to-18 months , we will equip 500 locations with a total of 60 million digital shelf labels , with the opportunity to expand further within Walmart ’ s store fleet .
