NEC Corporation of America (NEC) has announced that it will feature its integrated point of sale solution as well as innovative, biometric-enabled retail solutions during the National Retail Federation conference, Jan. 11-14, 2015, at Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York. Visit NEC in Booth #3653 during the NRF15 EXPO Jan. 11-13.
NEC will debut its retail Stanchion® 3.0 solution, which integrates hardware, software and services to enable store managers and staff greater access to data, improved communications and increased productivity within their store environments. The scalable and customizable solution helps retail employees collect real-time data and make ordering, forecasting and operational decisions more streamlined and quickly from the store floor. This type of approach can help retailers deliver a better customer experience to today's increasingly tech-savvy consumers and react to market changes at enterprise and hyper-local levels.
New retail-focused solutions featured during NRF
In its booth, NEC will be showing, for the first time in the U.S., its NEC TWINPOS G5 point-of-sale (POS) solution, the latest in all-in-one compact POS terminals. The G5 features a high-resolution display, a dual-core processor and a reputation for easy repairs.
NEC Enterprise Biometrics will demonstrate in-store audience measurement tools, as well as its NeoFace® Watch system, which uses propriety face recognition technology to identify individuals such as VIP shoppers or known offenders for loss prevention. NEC will demonstrate how these technologies work together to give retailers the ability to provide better service to their customers.
Finally, NEC has collaborated with Microsoft Corp. on an exciting new retail signage solution that combines NEC face recognition technology with Microsoft's Kinect camera system to create a next-generation shopping experience. The solution serves up digital retail signage based upon an individual's age and gender, and archives in-store demographic and engagement data in the cloud for later analysis by the retailer.
