PPDS recently announced that 110 advanced 4K Philips X-Line Videowall monitors have been selected and installed in the new futuristic new Modivo store in Warsaw, the world's first fully automated "physical" retail store.

The Modivo store (the first store under the Modivo brand) opened during the coronavirus pandemic was designed to provide customers with a more convenient and safer shopping experience, combining the benefits of physical and digital online shopping experience with the central role of PPDS.

In cooperation with Nanovo, Modivo’s technology partner, a total of 110 x 55 inches of Philips X-Line 4K Android displays were selected and installed in the entire Modivo store. The unit is designed for 24/7 operation and failover safety (meaning that the screen never goes dark), and includes a nearly borderless 25-panel Philips video wall, thanks to its built-in Pure Color Pro software, which can be customized The higher brightness and color temperature creates an immersive environment for visitors to enter the store.

Mariusz Chludzinski, Sales Director of PPDS Poland, said: "As consumers' shopping behavior has moved online, MODIVO's vision is to bring the same speed, convenience, and cost advantages to their physical stores." "The unstable global pandemic is also This means that the design of the store must enable it to continue operating under the most challenging conditions. To ensure that customers can have a comfortable, safe and enjoyable shopping experience. To achieve this goal, no matter how radical these ideas seem, they need a Partners who can share a vision of innovation and change to support companies and their customers. At PPDS, we share this vision."

The Modivo store is designed without any inventory in the workshop, thereby creating a more open appearance with fewer employees. Instead, customers entering the store sit on a dedicated sofa and use a touch tablet to browse the store’s catalog. Running on Nanovo's proprietary digital in-store platform, SIGNIO, all inventory is displayed on an easy-to-use interface that directly links to the "automated warehouse" (stock room) adjacent to the store, which holds more than 100,000 items.

After the customer makes a choice, they enter their mobile phone number on the tablet to receive a unique code. This code can then be shown at the entrance of the fitting room, and once scanned, the customer will be directed to one of the eight available fitting rooms. Then provide their belongings behind the sliding door located in the fitting room.

In addition, each fitting room is equipped with a wall-mounted touch screen display to show their initial choice. Likewise, the display is directly connected to Modivo's warehouse logistics system for added convenience, allowing customers to view and modify their choices (for example, by adding new items and sizes), which will be delivered in an instant.

After the customer makes the final decision, they can use the display to confirm the order and then leave the fitting room empty-handed. Then, the items they wish to buy will be delivered to the collection point where they paid, thus ending the visit.

Nanovo board member Dariusz Sobczak said: “There will be some incredible changes in the retail industry in the future.” MODIVO adapts to this shift by providing its customers with a top-notch omni-channel model. The bottom line is to transfer the experience that customers know from the online world to the physical store space. "

Chludzinski said: "This unique setting enables MODIVO to implement a multi-channel sales strategy to achieve brand efficiency and robustness goals in the evolving retail environment." "Like us, Modivo is an innovator, recognizing the market The challenges and changes are not satisfied with simply following the previous practices. We are very happy that we have played such an important role in creating a store for the future, and we fully hope to see more examples around the world soon. Retail industry The benchmarks have been set. With PPDS, the new Modivo not only stands out from the crowd, but also provides an experience that customers want to enjoy again and again."
