Improve interactions, strengthen operations and drive growth
The value of frictionless is clear. Frictionless technologies enable consumers to enter premises, pick up products, and leave without the need to scan, queue, or check out. From entertainment venues to convenience shops, grocery stores and more, the demand for fast and seamless experiences continues to grow: 41% of consumers are now willing to pay more for a product they can purchase quickly and easily.
For businesses, frictionless technologies provide rich data on how customers shop, what they want and how they interact with products. This insight can be used to transform: faster transactions and seamless processes, better customer experiences and personalisation, more agile and sustainable supply chains, and ultimately greater real value.
Balancing customer expectations with the need for security and resilience
As reliance on technology grows and cyber threats increase, businesses need to deliver secure and resilient experiences that build trust, drive sustained growth and enhance customer experience.
Embedding cyber security across the end-to-end value chain from the outset and implementing the right strategy to protect critical technology functions is key in a frictionless environment. But, it goes further than simply protecting an organisation and staying ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape. It enables exceptional customer experiences, reduces friction and increases loyalty.
