In this episode, QWASI’s Lauren Black, and Peter Farrell join Amit Chetal, VP Cisco Retail Innovation, to discuss industry innovation and transformation. Amit shares his thoughts on the accelerated pace of innovation within the last 90 days as businesses reacted to provide safe, secure and contactless experiences for their customers.
The webinar covers the important role mobile has played to activate these solutions leveraging NFC/QR technologies. From curbside pickup and contactless ordering, to Panera expanding its offering into grocery and pantry items, mobile has enabled brands to change their business models to meet customer needs.
As our expectations as consumers have fundamentally changed, businesses should consider:
a) Contactless solutions for consumers grow basket size by 50% b) Leveraging digital channels with contactless programs leads to 3x higher CRM acquisition. c) Investing in platforms that scale reduces overhead costs by 20%.
