Computer vision is a form of artificial intelligence (AI) that trains computers to interpret and understand digital images from cameras and videos. Computers can ‘learn’ to accurately identify and classify objects, and then react to and report on what they ‘see’. It’s a rapidly growing platform for real-time store management and enhanced operations. By 2021, 40% of retailers will implement computer vision in their customer service and support workflow, and vendors employing computer vision in retail will see a 20% lift in conversion.1
“SoftServe’s in-store social distancing solution is bridging a critical gap for retailers, ensuring a safe shopping environment through the COVID-19 pandemic while providing a valuable long-term solution for continual security, future growth, and consumer engagement,” said Valentyn Kropov, VP, client success at SoftServe. “Our solution works with your existing in-store equipment and can be ‘retrained’ around future scenarios, giving you a foundation on which to optimize store operations and customer experience for years to come.”
