Jimena Almendares’ Post

Since the beginning of this year at DECATHLON Česká republika, we are taking significant steps toward transforming the retail experience, proving our commitment to innovation, efficiency, and excellent customer service. 🔥 I am thrilled to announce the gradual rollout of electronic shelf labels across our stores. The project has been implemented in the first pilot store Decathlon Praha-Zličín and 8 others will come in Q3. Thanks to digital labels we expect savings up to 14k work hours per year in these 9 stores. What an ambitious target! These aren’t just digital price tags. Equipped with NFC technology, they offer our customers an interactive shopping experience. With a simple tap of their smartphone, shoppers can unlock a wealth of product information, check real-time availability, and even place orders directly from our website. This blend of in-store and online shopping ensures our customers have all the information they need. 🤖 Alongside our ESLs, we continue in deploying RFID robots across our stores - 9 robots by the end of Q2. You can already meet them in Prague stores. By taking over routine inventory tasks, these robots save our stores an average of 260 inventory hours yearly. What's the main purpose? The remarkable efficiency and accuracy provided by these robots help us to ensure that our products are always available when our customers need them, improving the overall shopping experience. 🤝 These technologies and significant time saving not only streamline our operations but it mainly allows our teams to focus on what they do best: delivering exceptional customer service, reflecting our core value of always “satisfied or satisfied” customers. 🚀 As we celebrate our achievements and milestones, we remain focused on the future - a future where technology and human creativity come together to create shopping experiences that are not just transactions, but memorable moments. I trust, our journey of innovation is far from over; in fact, we’re just getting started. I am excited to be one of those behind these steps. Let’s continue to redefine the future of retail, together! 💙 #Decathlon #Innovation #Future #RetailTechnology #Retail #CustomerExperience #Omnichannel

Can physical stores make a comeback in the era of #ecommerce? A recent article by Reuters examines the renewed interest in in-person shopping across Europe. Retailers are opening new stores and enhancing customer experiences to compete with e-commerce giants. Companies like Decathlon are adding interactive features such as sports areas and repair hubs to attract shoppers. Having a physical presence can significantly increase online sales, with data showing a 10-20% boost within a 20-minute drive of the store. Learn how this trend is shaping the future of #retail and driving multi-channel sales, blending the best of both physical and digital shopping experiences: https://reut.rs/3YpXJS1 #sales #blackfriday

This kind of speed and service is reshaping consumer expectations across industries, not just retail. As technology evolves, so does our approach to real estate and business. What was once a distant future is now a reality, driven by innovation, convenience, and customer-centric solutions.

How have physical stores changed in the post-COVID era? 🌍 Retail was already changing before the pandemic, but since the pandemic the need for connection and deeper meaning has changed it even further. Post-COVID stores are all about experience and community. The things you can’t get from shopping online. And the stats agree: 📊 According to one report, nearly 60% of consumers expect half of retail space will be dedicated to experiences rather than purely selling products by 2025. 📱 It was also found that 66% of shoppers appreciate in-store technologies that support their shopping experience and they would choose one retailer over another for this. This includes interactive displays and mobile notifications offering them more value. 🛒 And even if people don’t always plan to go IN the store, they appreciate the convenience of it and often buy more. This has been highlighted by the surge of Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store, which found that 47% of shoppers that use this service end up purchasing additional items once in store. As you can see, the change is big but also leads to a better overall experience. 🌟 #refive #postcovid #instoreshopping #retail
