Barcode technology has played a vital role in retail for more than four decades. To create more personal, meaningful and seamless in-store experiences you need to harness data. However, before you can leverage it, you need to capture it.
In the next 12 to 18 months, we believe there are four areas in which data capture technology will have the biggest impact.

No matter what services your company provides or what communication platforms you use, customer experience (CX) needs to be at the core of everything you do. With all the tools that are available to help brands engage with their customers -- from social media to artificial intelligence-based resources like product recommendations and chatbots -- there are more opportunities than ever to create powerful customer experiences that build loyalty and drive sales.
But these tools aren’t going to use themselves, nor will a CX-focused culture spontaneously arise on its own. Brands need to make CX a priority at every level, from the first moment a consumer decides to explore their products online to the final step of the customer journey to the ongoing relationship that may last for years or even decades.

Improving the customer experience (CX) is on the priority list of just about every organisation globally these days.
Yet it feels like little genuine progress has been made. It is still too difficult to discover new products on the web, find merchandise information and even purchase goods online, especially if companies were truly as customer-centric as many claim to be.
Why is this? Why are brands struggling to improve the customer-facing parts of their businesses – and what can marketers do to help?

Experience builds trust. Trust builds loyalty. That’s the crux of B2B marketing today. Customers are more likely to remember bad experiences and spread the word among the buyer community. However, experience has moved beyond reputation management initiatives. Today, it’s part of digital transformation that separated high-performing marketing and sales teams from laggards in the MarTech hype cycle.
It’s practically hollow to expect Marketing Technologies to deliver on ROI without analyzing their impact on customer experience. Be it for B2B or B2C, there is ample buzz around the serious business results achieved with the successful adoption of customer experience measures.

In today’s customer-centric world, the manner of communication has drastically changed from the perspective of ‘me’ to ‘you’. The target audience is at the centre of it. Customer Experience (CX) is integral than ever before. As experts from Walker state, it has all chances to overtake price and product as the key brand differentiator by 2020.
Nowadays any business is a digital business, whether it is using digital solutions for managing its employees, providing better service for its clients, or gaining a competitive advantage in the market. User Experience (UX) of all these solutions play a crucial role in the customer journey and overall business success. That’s why global giants like Google, Airbnb, and Amazon have already integrated User Experience into the core of their business processes. So, let’s discover the philosophy of UX and the influence it has on the customer’s overall satisfaction with the product and the company.

We hear companies throwing around common phrases like, ‘Customer centricity is at the heart of our organisation’ and ‘We’re very much in tune with the needs of our customers’. Not surprisingly, seeing as how according to a study carried out by Bain and company, 80% of organisations they surveyed believed that they were providing a superior customer experience to their customers. Meanwhile, just 8% of their customers shared this opinion. Only eight percent! This is a huge disconnect and gap in perception, one that is commonly referred to as the customer experience gap.
