Digitization of the Point of Sale (POS)

To identify customers in the real world with cidaas
Managing customer flows and creating a unique customer experience.

The Customer Journey has changed radically in the past few years. It has not started at the shop door since long ago. Today, customers get informed about products and services through online shops, apps and social media channels to the same extent as through brochures and commercials. The focus here is not only on services, special offers or cross-selling services, rather on information about visitor flows in the store. By combining the on- and offline shopping world in an ideal way, you can achieve an impressive personalization of the point of sale. With cidaas you connect both worlds and give your customers what they want: A unique customer experience.
