Ridgefield Park, NJ \u2013 January 15, 2018 –<\/strong> <\/span>At the National Retail Federation\u2019s (NRF) BIG Show 2018<\/strong>, Samsung Electronics America, Inc. is spotlighting several new solutions to help retailers harness the power of data to design and deliver an enhanced, more intelligent customer experience.

This enables retailers to better understand the customer journey from entrance to purchase, and use the information for Pop-Up store layout, product placement, staff scheduling and inventory management. According to Forrester Research, in 2017, 47% of surveyed\u00a0commerce technology influencers are continuing or increasing investments in in-store analytics.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n
