C-star 2018 to debut "ReTailor Hub – Tailoring the new world of retail" to create high-tech retail stores

 

As the most influential retail event in China, C-star 2018 - Shanghai's International Trade Fair for Solutions and Trends all about Retail will be held from April 26 to 28 at Shanghai New International Expo Center. With “Shape the Future of Retail” as its theme, C-star welcomes more than 120 exhibitors bringing their newest and most innovative products and solutions in store design and equipment, lighting, smart retail technology, visual merchandising, POP marketing and exhibitions and events in a comprehensive way. C-star 2018 is set to be a high-quality trade show presenting the latest store designs and smart retail for retailers.
 
In the era of digitalization, “data-driven” is undoubtedly the core feature of new retail, utilizing offline data through the Internet of Things (IoT), face recognition, mobile payment, virtual reality (VR) and other technologies to leverage online consumer data. This allows for precise store management and personalized messages to be delivered in the offline environment. Such a "data-driven" method is adopted by many retail product solution service providers for offline stores.
 
Driven by adaptation to new technologies, the upgrade of consumption experience and the new form of retail business, C-star will debut "ReTailor Hub" this year, featuring two major retail brands – the fast fashion brand ROCOCO and the Classic Teddy dedicated to culture and creation. The brands will create an upgraded store featuring stylish aesthetics + smart retail in a 300-square-meter area together with 11 retail solution service providers, so as to bring a high-end visual feast combining innovative designs and black technology.
 
Collaborative innovation of fashion and technology motivates apparel as well as leisure and entertainment industries to pursue new retail
   
In ROCOCO’s store, you will experience a complete set of shop management solutions, see the architecture that combines intelligent perception device, cloud service and mobile terminal, and learn ways to manage the display of the entire store remotely. Based on intelligent face analysis technology, the membership recognition system can capture and identify each customer who enters the store; you will also see online check-in, online comment book and other solutions in ROCOCO’s events.
 
In addition, you will experience the 3D fitting magic mirror, a fitting solution to instantly measure users’ physical parameters. Meanwhile, users can switch from one model to another quickly, trying on a variety of clothes as they like, sharing the new styles with friends and family via email and social media.
