SAP's future of retail research labs
Easier management
Not only does a virtual store mean it could be easier to spot theft, it makes re-stocking more efficient. The idea is to make it easier to manage a large shop, giving an overview of what’s happening and allowing immediate access to information on product lines.
SAP’s Future Retail Centre, near Zurich, Switzerland, houses a range of new technologies that could change the way we shop in years to come. Many of the technologies are already being trialled by retailers and the company uses its research labs in Switzerland to showcase and test its ideas.
