The rise of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upstart.com\/dealers\/ai-powered-financing\/\">AI-powered finance<\/a> even shows the value of machine learning in entrenched concepts like credit scores.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re now conditioned to the idea of personalization and hassle-free experience at every touchpoint.<\/p>\n<p>The retail industry, in particular, is highly impacted by Artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>According to Markets and Markets, Artificial intelligence in the retail market is expected to be USD 5,034.0 Million by 2022.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this article, we\u2019d be discussing 5 such use cases and how to keep up with these trends.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s begin.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><strong>AI-based Chatbots To Replace Real Humans<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\">Chatbots<\/a> are found in almost all online eCommerce sites. But, unlike generic chatbots that have robotic programmed replies, AI-based chatbots are way more advanced, helpful, and personalized.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first brands to implement the AI-based chatbot was Sephora.<\/p>\n<p>The chatbot does not only cater to optimizing the customer experience on the click-and-mortar store but also the brick-and-mortar stores.<\/p>\n<p>It facilitates bridging the gap and making the customer experience unified at every touchpoint.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3426 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image4.jpg\" alt=\"customer experience\" width=\"1467\" height=\"812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image4.jpg 1467w, https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image4-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image4-1024x567.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image4-768x425.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1467px) 100vw, 1467px\" \/> For instance, if a customer wants to book an appointment with a beauty specialist at the Sephora store, all they have to do is type in the location and the AI-based chatbot will direct them to the nearest location.<\/p>\n<p>The chatbot is highly sophisticated and intelligent because it can understand the conversational and casual language of the user with the NLP technology and give a solution instantly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3425 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image2.png\" alt=\"kik bot conversation\" width=\"888\" height=\"643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image2.png 888w, https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image2-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image2-768x556.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 888px) 100vw, 888px\" \/><strong>How To Stay On Top Of The Trend?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Know your objectives and be clear about what you\u2019re trying to solve with the AI-based chatbot<\/li>\n<li>Know your business goals and your audience<\/li>\n<li>Be data-driven and utilize the information to provide the best customer experience<\/li>\n<li>Look at ways to bridge the gap and create a unified experience with chatbots<\/li>\n<li>Find AI-based chatbot service providers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><strong>The Power Of Visuals For An Informed Buying Decision<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are a lot of products that need to be tried on, tested, and evaluated physically before making a purchase decision. This holds true for products that fall under the category of apparel, furniture, and makeup &#8211; to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>With AI, the tangibility and the try-on technology can be made possible.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, look at this video where the audience can \u201ctry on\u201d different shades of MAC lipsticks along with the influencer. This drives a well-informed purchase decision, thanks to AI.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Golden Goddess Makeup Tutorial using ALL my Holy Grail MAC Products!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jMp0C5yW6JU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong><em>Note: <\/em><\/strong><em>You can try on the lipsticks on your mobile devices and not the desktop in case you\u2019re interested.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The same is possible for apparel too!

You must clearly define what you are trying to solve with the visual technology &#8211; better customer experience, intelligent stock management, or something else<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><strong>Logistics &amp; Supply Chain Management For Effective Stock Management<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Right from Robots to drones, there are a number of ways in which artificial intelligence is disrupting the supply chain management loop.<\/p>\n<p>Companies like Amazon already have robots in their warehouses to manage the inventories and make the process way more efficient.<\/p>\n<p>The stock management system can be highly sophisticated through AI &#8211; demand can be predicted based on weather conditions, purchase history, trends, and more.<\/p>\n<p>AI-based drone delivery systems can also play a huge role when it comes to monitoring the stock levels in the warehouses and prompt action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How To Stay On Top Of The Trend?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Don\u2019t cling to a trend or technology for the sake of it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3427 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image1.png\" alt=\"marketoonist\" width=\"726\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image1.png 726w, https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image1-300x221.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/>Analyze the scale of your business and then decide whether or not this is applicable to you. Bigwigs like Amazon and Walmart would need the support of AI to handle the scale of their inventories. Alternatively, if you\u2019re a fairly small business, then, drones could come in handy for your inventory management or delivery.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><strong>Product recommendations for better customer service<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How does Netflix recommend TV shows that perfectly fit your tastes and preferences?<\/p>\n<p>With the power of AI-based recommendation engines and algorithms that track your browsing history and analyze the shows, you viewed in the past, these smart recommendations happen.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, your online retail stores can also leverage AI to recommend products to your consumers by using <a href=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\">AI Agents<\/a> and this is not just limited to virtual shopping.<\/p>\n<p>This can also be made possible in a physical retail store with the help of beacon technology. Beacons use the power of Bluetooth and location data to make recommendations to a shopper with smartphones. They use proximity marketing and make the right prompt at the right time. Use QR codes (created via a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beaconstac.com\/qr-code-generator\">QR code maker<\/a>) in physical stores to share intelligent recommendations with buyers in real-time. These recommendations can be anything from clothes according to their body type to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.customframestore.com\/\">personalized custom frames<\/a> for their apartment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How To Stay On Top Of The Trend?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is an advanced trend that may not be applicable to all retailers. Begin by understanding what this can solve and how it can help your business and slowly work your way up towards deciding whether or not you\u2019d need this.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><strong>Automated checkout machines<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In order to phase out queues, cashier, and checkout lines, Amazon\u2019s stores in the US and UK, with their Amazon Go app make it possible for shoppers to add items to their carts virtually.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NrmMk1Myrxc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NrmMk1Myrxc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The shoppers will have to just pick up products and they\u2019d be added to their virtual carts automatically. Once they\u2019re done, they just exit the store and the price would be automatically deducted from their Amazon account.<\/p>\n<p>Sensor fusion, deep learning, and AI-driven technology make it possible. Companies like Mcdonald\u2019s and Amazon have implemented this technology to make shopping as seamless as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How To Stay On Top Of The Trend?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a grocery store or a massive store like Walmart, you may want to consider this technology in order to reduce time wasted on checkout queues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is It Time To Hop On To The Trend? Think again.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The retail industry is advancing every passing day.<\/p>\n<p>It is indispensable for every business to stay relevant and updated with the latest technology and trends.<\/p>\n<p>But at the same time, there\u2019s no one size fits all.<\/p>\n<p>Adapting to these trends may vary based upon several factors. Ask yourself:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How mature is my brand both on a financial and popularity basis?<\/li>\n<li>What\u2019s the current objective of my business?<\/li>\n<li>Which niche do I belong to?<\/li>\n<li>What AI-based technology would make more sense for my business?<\/li>\n<li>Are all your competitors using it?<\/li>\n<li>Do our customers need it desperately?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may have to dive deep into these questions and evaluate your answers to make sure that all of this makes sense to your business.<\/p>\n<p>But, no matter what your business goals are or which niche you belong to, you must ensure that you drive good customer experience and revenue with eCommerce essentials.<\/p>\n<p>Ensure you drive it with detailed product descriptions, rich media assets, contextual nudges with email marketing automation, well-timed <a href=\"https:\/\/targetbay.com\/email-marketing\/abandoned-cart-email\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">abandoned cart emails<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps you stay ahead of the game.
