Embracing Digital Transformation to bring back CONVENIENCE to Shopping

3 minutes read

Everybody wants to innovate, but only a few dare to question the status quo. Companies often start their digital transformation initiatives with much fanfare, but just about being knee-deep in digital waters, they decide to settle for cost optimization and standardization. The buzz fizzles out for most of them. It takes extraordinary vision and an organization-wide resolve to drive change. Next, comes the experience of placing successful bets and realizing the goals. This requires expert knowledge and the courage to experiment to unlock differentiators. How did the client go from being a laggard to a customer favorite? InfoVision's years of digital transformation expertise and rapid go-to-market strategies combined with a data-driven approach helped the client respond to change and pivot fast with iterative development. Driving hyper-personalization with AI, we enabled them to deliver the right offer at the right time to customers and delight them. We plugged these features into a gamified rewards system that uses AR and keeps the customers connected to the client in an entertaining way, even post-purchases, thus improving brand recall. InfoVision created a rewards engine that pushes hyper-personalized offers to customers to enhance engagement while helping achieve round-the-clock delivery services and secure mobile transactions. The result? The client's customer-facing operations got a holistic digital transformation upgrade in 1/3rd the time and at 10% of the costs quoted by competitors.
