New versus Traditional Retail

The issues with traditional retail are often stuck in the selection, location, marketing, experience, operation and management. Before the store opened, WorthCloud recorded passenger flow and user portraits through AI camera equipment to assist the store in location selection. In marketing, WorthCloud acquired user’s buying habits through customers in the store to achieve promotions. In operation management, it combined with Tencent Cloud. Integrated AI cameras with WorthCloud algorithms analyzed the customer buying behavior data, creating customer profiles to increase buying opportunities.

Transparent Supply Chain

In the process of launching new retailing, all partners in the ecosystem, including Tencent Cloud and WorthCloud all have to reorganized. The relationship between brand and retailer, supplier and channel, products and service provider needs to be reconstructed and collaborated. Supply chains are the core of retail industry to control whether the stores are profitable. From traditional supply chain hierarchy to online and offline separation.

The implementation of smart retail-related processes has completely altered the landscape of the sales industry. Decentralization, optimization and transparency, all play necessary roles within the process. Continuous research and growth will provide benefits to the whole industry.
