Using a computer vision technology, the shoppers exploring the in-store art gallery can also understand the custom-curated stories on featured women and their contribution to the brand.
The technology will enable store associates with visibility on overall performance against specific commercial KPIs and object recognition using the device. Associates will also be able to share product information and recommendations based on time of day, day of the week, product demand and other variables.
The partnership also includes a shared focus on women’s empowerment through both the DVF InCharge platform and the Mastercard Her Ideas Start Something Priceless initiative.
Mastercard has invited DVF to its Women Business Advisory Council, which works to support the women in the business community.
