The smart age of retail


The retail industry is an ancient business. Since the birth of the human society, there has been a retail industry. Like human society, it has undergone industrialization and applied industrial technologies and models, which has greatly improved the service efficiency of the retail industry. Similarly, in today's information age, the retail industry has also applied a large number of information technologies and models to improve the service efficiency of the retail industry.


For informationization, we used to be primarily human informatization. Only now we have found that information is a very good thing, and it has brought great benefits to us. Therefore, we also hope to do everything informatization.


Whether it is the informationization of people or things, in the final analysis, it is based on computers, or smart device systems. Therefore, the Internet of Things is still a part of informatization. It is based on computer-intelligent devices and systems that we use information-based technologies to make things more intelligent and improve the efficiency of the interaction between people and things and things.


The definition of Wikipedia is: The Internet of Things is a massive network formed through the combination of various kinds of information sensing devices, real-time collection of any information needed to monitor, connect, and interact with objects or processes. Its purpose is to achieve the connection between things and things, things and people, all the items and the network, to facilitate identification, management and control.


For the retail industry, the Internet of Things will fully open the era of smart retail. Wherever there is a place, it can be intelligentized and integrated into an intelligent system, and ultimately achieve a tremendous increase in the efficiency of the interaction between people and things and between things and things. For example: Through the supply chain Internet of things from procurement, logistics to sales, around the consumer's Internet of things, consumer scene of the Internet of things and so on.


The competitiveness of the retail industry lies mainly in two aspects: first, systemic advantages, and second, the various terminals that make up the system. Terminals include people and goods. The goods also include various equipment required by the merchandise and retail system, including the future. All the devices around the consumer (will become the subsystems that the Internet of Things can use). The system is a face and the terminal is a point. Two informatized "nets" -- the Internet and the Internet of Things -- are meant to make systems and terminals more intelligent, smarter, and more efficient, ultimately achieving the overall systemic competitive advantage of retailers.
