“Sensormatic Solutions has always been committed to working in close collaboration with retailers and other technology partners to ensure we’re doing all we can to address the industry’s most pressing challenges,” said Tony D’Onofrio, president of Sensormatic Solutions. “The solutions on display at NRF’s Big Show this year are a testament to that commitment. From our collaborations with retail brands to our work with organizations developing cutting-edge technologies, like pass_by and Indyme, we’re giving businesses the tools they need to redefine retail today and beyond.”

Sensormatic Solutions booth will include demos of its industry-leading solutions and deep dives into recent collaborations designed to help retailers improve customer experiences by:

  • Taking shopper insights beyond the store. What happens outside the store is just as telling as what happens on the floor. Explore how Sensormatic Solutions recent work with pass_by helps retailers understand shopper behavior more accurately, enhance store performance and increase conversion rates.
  • Streamlining merchandising and inventory management. Supply chain visibility is key to avoid out-of-stocks, waste and missed sales.
