Delivering the intelligent technology that retailers need to bring the virtual high street alive

By combining industry-leading augmented reality (AR) technology with our latest conversational artificial intelligence (AI) tool, we’re helping retailers to take their customers on a new digital buying journey.

Together, these technologies enable customers to find the perfect product on your website, and then to see it live in their own environment with the help of their smartphone. They can enjoy the same kind of engaging and easy shopping experience as they do in a physical store – confident in their purchases – while you increase sales conversions, reduce your costs and stock, gain valuable customer data and create richer marketing insight into new customer segments.

There’s no denying the role that technology such as augmented reality and conversational AI can play, especially now that it is poised to be a ubiquitous feature for most smartphone users. They’re also vital tools for preparing yourself to be able to adapt to sudden changes in demand while still delivering a first-class customer experience.

At Capita, we have the right relationships with industry-leading technology companies – plus our own technological expertise and innovative thinking – to develop and implement a unique solution for you that delivers a completely automated and engaging sales experience that requires minimal effort from you and your customers. And our ability to deploy our portfolio of people and technology solutions quickly across the entire customer journey helps you to position yourself for opportunity and growth to be resilient for the future.
