Smart Retail

Smart Retail Solution

IFREEQ helps retailers work smarter in efficient services and higher revenue.

The market value of smart retail has reached USD10 billion in 2018 and is expected to increase to USD38.5 billion by 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of 24.12%. Currently, China's new retail market is growing vigorously. According to the research from Analysys, the compound annual growth rate of the new retail market from 2017 to 2019 has reached 115%, and the new retail market value is expected to reach CNY1.8 trillion in 2022. Although physical stores will not disappear in the foreseeable future, the impact of e-commerce and the change in consumers' shopping preferences have forced physical stores to upgrade themselves. They must employ technologies to meet consumers' expectations for a simple and smooth shopping experience, and to create digitalized management systems that can reduce costs and boost business growth.

In response to the high standardization required for branded chain stores and the costly on-site inspections, IFREEQ Smart provides retailers with one-stop, video-based remote store inspection solutions. Focusing on operational data analysis, digitalized management, store security, and smart marketing, IFREEQ provides the smart retail solutions based on a business management backend in collaboration with professional retail partners. The solutions employ AI+IoT (AIoT) technologies to provide a digitalized management system that can reduce operational costs and boost business growth.
