Retail experts were particularly interested in POS digitalisation, automation and advertising success monitoring for promotions at the POS. More and more solutions are based on artificial intelligence in conjunction with voice assistants and robots.




Weinheim, 05 March 2018 +++ Under the motto "Excellence at the POS - Shine with impressive customer communication", Online Software presented a wide range of solutions for multimedia marketing at the POS at this year's EuroCIS. Together with solution partners Allgeier Enterprise Services, AOPEN, NEXGEN smart instore and Samsung Electronics, many new solutions and ideas for a perfect customer approach based on the market-leading PRESTIGEenterprise software were presented at the PRESTIGE Solution Campus.
There was particularly strong demand for solutions based on the combination of speech recognition and artificial intelligence that significantly improve customer service and reduce the workload of sales staff. However, the optimisation of advertising planning at the POS through the first real-time advertising success monitoring systems was also an important topic for many trade visitors.
"The maturity level of POS technologies has never been better and the many specific enquiries from trade visitors at the Online Software AG stand clearly showed that bricks-and-mortar retailers are ready to invest in future technologies this year," explains Jürgen Berens von Rautenfeld, CEO of Online Software AG. "Fast implementation and intuitive use by the shopper are the focus for all retailers," says Berens von Rautenfeld. This was also demonstrated by the great interest shown in the interactive showcase for the outdoor area, which was presented for the first time.
