Shortfacts - April 2019


Store of the future
The increasing linking of stationary and digital sales channels and the Internet of Things (IoT) mean that information technology is becoming ever more important for retailers. The current challenge is to cover the new purchasing behavior of customers. For this reason, Allgeier is presenting its own interpretation of the Amazon Go concept with its IoT BoxX, which is fully integrated into SAP. The focus is on the simple selection and purchase of products without having to check out. The products are recognized by a combination of camera and RFID technology. The materials management processes are implemented using an SAP S/4 Hana and CAR system. The sensor technology and machine learning applications are connected via Leonardo services on the SAP Cloud Platform. A number of other on-premise and cloud systems are also involved, such as Hybris Commerce and Hybris Marketing.
