Food Newspaper Reports on Instore Navigation at Hagebau
The Food Newspaper currently reports on the recently introduced system of instore navigation at Hagebau. With this technology, controlled via a smartphone app, customers can find their way around the hardware store better.
As reported, customers at Hagebau dealer Wigger from Neumünster can be guided through the market to the desired product by instore navigation. This is linked to offers and additional information that customers receive directly on their mobile phones at the shelf. This was realized by the company locandis from Hamburg, which specializes in technology, conception and strategies for solutions around location-based marketing, indoor navigation, digital customer cards and more.
The Food Newspaper refers in its article to the finding of experts that the technology is still waiting for its breakthrough. Thus, Prof. Hans-Christian Riekhof, Mathieu Grüneklee and Leon Reutel in 2021 conducted a study for the Private University of Göttingen (PFH) among executives in retail on the topic of instore navigation in German retail. The enormous potential of the technology for stationary retail also became clear.
