If you know what issues are plaguing
your store or warehouse, and you even
have a firm grasp on why those issues are
occurring, then why wouldn’t you prescribe
a specific action to a worker to resolve them
immediately and mitigate recurrences?
Why wouldn’t you articulate the ‘best next
steps’ to take with their current mobile and
barcode-based systems already in place
in order to maintain pricing accuracy and
stocked shelves? Why not give associates
tools they need to more quickly locate items
for customers or expedite checkout to avoid

losing sales? And why not deploy a team
immediately to investigate suspected theft or
fraud and adjust asset protection processes?
Retailers who utilise the IoT-powered
technologies at their disposal right now to
both capture intelligence at the edge and
take direct action on it are the ones who
will most successfully capture their edge as
both customer demands and competitive
pressures intensify.
