To emerge victorious in today’s cut-throat world of business, retailers need to provide customers with all of the information they desire right at their fingertips, such as real-time store and online inventory, product catalogs, recommendations and alternatives, looks and marketing content.
Today’s entrepreneurs and startups are using digital solutions in their physical stores, thereby improving customers’ experiences and ensuring good footfall. Mercaux, a start-up based in London, is one such company helping retailers to achieve this goal.
