There are certain sectors who are often late to embrace technologies that could make their lives easier and their bank accounts more bloated. Retail is one of them. There are several areas in retail that have needed re-thinking as far back as 40 years. My guest for this podcast has tackled one of the most critical ones.
John Ricci of Danavation is re-inventing signage on shelves and throughout stores using the IoT.
Danavation Technologies Corp.™ is a leading provider of micro e-paper messaging in North America. Their Digital Smart Labels™ give companies the ability to automate labeling, pricing, product information, and promotions in seconds – and that's just the retail sector.
Danavation is moving into many other companies as John explains on the podcast. The industries they can streamline with this technology are wide ranging.
John's 25+ years of experience in retail gives him a high-level view of the industry; and it gave me a lot of great quotes. Here's my favorite:
“What defines you as a company is not what you brag about. It’s what happens when something goes wrong. Are you able to fix it? Are you willing to fix it? And are you there to support your customer?”
