Under the banner of Smarter Retail for All, Lenovo has become a full-service solution provider for retail customers looking to modernize and optimize their store infrastructure and operations. Taking a turnkey approach with the full bundling of hardware, software, and installation/support services, this simplified approach is not only possible, but now approachable with as-a-service payment offerings. All of Lenovo’s retail solutions, from back of store to sales floor to checkouts, are supported by a global management team with support services in 170+ countries.
Lenovo’s solutions are segmented into 3 solution areas: Store Infrastructure, Retail Analytics, and Store Operations. Within the first pillar, Lenovo can help retailers maximize uptime and ensure stores run seamlessly with discrete edge compute devices that invisibly power solutions throughout the store. From the SE series (SE30, SE50, SE70) to the Thinkstation Tiny, these small devices can empower big changes.
Next is Retail Analytics, one of Lenovo’s newest pillars. Through cutting-edge cameras, retailers can improve store operations and merchandising layouts, as well as minimize shrink. Lenovo has a growing best-in-class ecosystem of partners providing solutions in this space, including RetailNext and Everseen. Best of all, for retailers that have already invested significantly in an existing camera system, the Lenovo ThinkEdge SE70 is purpose-built to unlock the power of computer vision applications for enterprise. The SE70, powered by NVIDIA Jetson Javier NX, allows enterprise customers to transform every-day IP cameras into ‘smart’ cameras that run computer vision apps at the edge.
The final pillar, Store Operations, helps store employees minimize repetitive functions and focus on higher-value tasks. This allows for a maximization of IT investment by empowering store associates with the right technology to focus on taking care of customers. From standard and mobile point-of-sale to self checkouts to electronic shelf labels, your employees will be able to increase their efficiency while improving customer experience.
Due to safety concerns for its employees, Lenovo will not be hosting a booth at this year’s NRF event. However, if you are interested in any of these solutions, please visit us to learn more at https://techtoday.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/retail-solutions.
