Technology and personalised service meet in ‘Smart Instore’.

17/12/2020

EFMP Dutch partner, PSfm, has a new ‘middleman’ in the marketplace. Smart Instore provides the perfect compromise between online and in-store retail shopping. Often the word ‘compromise’ can have a negative connotation implying having to settle for something less than perfect, but in this instance, nothing could be further from the truth. PSfm are proud to announce their partnership with Smart Instore.

Smart Instore is a technological platform which offers a live video virtual reality experience as well as an online chat component that can be used by brands and retailers alike. By the judicious use of state-of-the-art technology, Smart Instore works seamlessly as a go-between for online shopping, Brand Ambassadors in-store, and the customer. It is innovative, which has tech appeal, and it offers the customer a live - interaction alternative to online shopping without having to go into the store. It can also serve as a stand-in for a Brand Ambassador who may be busy with another customer in-store.

Therefore, it functions as a personal assistant for both sales staff and customers, which is impressive to say the least!

LIVE IS GOOD 

NOW MORE THAN EVER WE BUY ONLINE

Buying behaviour is changing.  Online purchasing starts from the age of 14, almost 80% of whom are online every day. It is important, in order to appeal to the younger demographic, therefore, that the online shopping environment offers a social component and entertainment, which Smart Instore manages to achieve. It is the online platform that links physical retail and the online web store thus giving consumers a perfect personal experience with the convenience of online shopping.  

MAIN FUNCTIONS
