SES-imagotag’s ESLs are expected to be benefitted by Cisco’s significant network footprint.
The company’s VUSION Retail IoT Cloud platform allows offline stores to automate low-value-added tasks such as error-prone manual price changes. The platform also delivers end-to-end inventory management through automatic detection of stockouts and in-store product geolocation accurately.
This new partnership not only leverages Cisco’s networks, but also the Wi-Fi expertise that enables retailers across the world to benefit from the solution.
CiscoWNBU Product ManagerDevang Bhatt said: “We are glad to partner with SES-imagotag to develop a revolutionary Retail IoT solution. By leveraging the Cisco Aironet Developer Platform, SES-imagotag is delivering an intent-based solution for the retail industry.
