• Store fulfillment capabilities, which will convert tenant stores into last-mile distribution centers;
• Reverse logistics to simplify return management by improving routes based on location and return time;
• Inventory visibility based on real-time, unified data that helps inform decisions and reduce stock-related issues;
• Scan, pay and go capabilities that allow customers to scan in-store items using their smartphones, create a virtual cart and complete the checkout process online; and
• Consolidated product deliveries based on a designated pickup point, hotel or residence to create a bag-free shopping experience for customers.
