Company will showcase solutions that empower
retailers to elevate customer experiences, optimize inventory
management, and engage store associates
Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a leading digital
solution provider enabling businesses to intelligently connect
data, assets, and people, today announced it is expanding its
retail offerings to advance The Modern Store by Zebra, its
visionary framework designed to help retailers solve their most
critical operational challenges. Zebra’s ecosystem of solutions
will be showcased in Booth #3203 at the National Retail Federation
(NRF) Annual Convention & EXPO Jan. 14-16, 2024 at the Jacob K.
Javits Convention Center in New York City and online at
zebra.com.
While retailers worldwide trust Zebra for its deep retail
expertise, market-leading solutions, and insightful guidance for
their modernization journey, the retail industry faces mounting
challenges. Data from the National Retail Federation indicates
retailers lost $112 billion due to shrink in 2022. Meanwhile,
shoppers keep raising the bar for retailers as 78% prefer a
seamless blend of in-store and online shopping according to Zebra’s
2023 Global Shopper Study. Zebra’s Modern Store blueprint continues
to evolve with retailers’ needs, helping them strategically plan,
prioritize and implement customized solutions for today while
providing the agility needed to adapt for the future.
“The stakes are higher than ever in the retail industry.
Consumers expect to shop with a consistently seamless experience
across channels. On top of that, retail theft and loss are reaching
unprecedented levels,” said Matthew Guiste, Global Strategy Lead,
Zebra Technologies. “Zebra remains fully committed to helping
retailers work in new ways with technology, ensuring associates are
better enabled, inventory is accurate and fully visible, and shrink
is minimized. We are here to help retailers transform and modernize
their operations.”
Optimize Inventory to Maximize Accuracy
Zebra’s recent shopper study shows eight in 10 retailers agree
they need better inventory management tools to improve accuracy and
visibility, and they believe AI will enhance retail operations.
Zebra’s AI demand forecasting, analytics and RFID tracking
solutions offer retailers the 360-degree view needed for fully
visible inventory.
Visitors at Zebra’s NRF booth will see how Zebra Workcloud™, the
company’s enterprise suite of software applications, enables
front-line workers to better optimize labor decisions, streamline
communication and improve inventory management. The Workcloud
Demand Intelligence Suite, powered by antuit.ai, helps retailers
address issues through intelligent forecasting and analysis, demand
sensing, optimization and more.
Launching at NRF, the new AI-powered Workcloud Modeling Studio
is a data science machine learning (DSML) platform. It builds and
deploys accurate forecasts with a low-/no-code interface, allowing
implementation within hours. Its pre-built customizable algorithms
improve forecasting accuracy to minimize inventory errors or theft
risks.
Zebra will also introduce its new FXR90 ultra-rugged fixed RFID
reader which provides maximum visibility even in high-volume,
rugged environments like a retail warehouse or fulfillment center.
The FXR90 reader minimizes shrink and loss with the ability to
identify and track where inventory losses are occurring so
corrective actions can be taken to prevent future losses. With
integrated wireless capabilities, including Wi-Fi and 5G, it also
increases inventory visibility to maximize accuracy without an
expensive infrastructure investment.
Engage Associates to Drive Productivity
Eight in 10 retail associates say they view their employer more
positively when they provide them with technology tools to do their
work, yet 77% feel consumers are better connected to information
than the associates. Zebra will highlight its leading portfolio of
mobile handhelds, tablets, and wearables as well as integrated
software solutions to demonstrate how retail associates can be more
connected, productive, and efficient with the right technology and
solutions.
At NRF, Zebra will also introduce its new WS50 powered by
Workcloud, the industry’s first wrist and clip wearable
enterprise-class Android touch computer. Now driven by Zebra
Workcloud Communication and Workcloud Task Management, the WS50
also features Voice AI Assistant which better connects retail
associates – including those previously disconnected – enabling
them to focus on customers and tasks. Zebra Device Tracker is now
offered for the WS50, ensuring a device can be located whether it
is on or off, minimizing the time and cost of lost devices and
driving productivity for retailers.
Elevate the Customer Experience to Build Loyalty
According to Zebra’s recent shopper study, 82% of consumers say
they prefer to get in and out of stores quickly. Plus, they have a
growing affinity for self, digital, or anywhere checkout options.
Zebra’s NRF booth will include its suite of next generation
point-of-sale (POS) solutions that provide fast, frictionless
checkout.
Zebra’s next-gen MP72 Series multi-plane scanner has
vision-based software and an enhanced color camera that recognizes
produce as it’s scanned. The new MP72 saves consumers time from
guessing items or requiring help, simultaneously minimizing fraud
and shrink risks for retailers.
The new generation PS30 Personal Shopper enables retailers to
provide a transformative, low-friction and personalized in-store
shopping experience. Its enhanced location sensor data enables
retailers to send consumers personalized offers and provide
retailers with shopper insights which can be leveraged to improve
store operations. The PS30 supports tap-to-pay, allowing shoppers
to complete a purchase right from the cart.
Also on display at NRF will be Zebra Pay™, the industry’s first
integrated, enterprise-grade, SPoC-based mobile payment solution
transforming Zebra mobile computers and tablets into secure payment
terminals. It handles mobile payments, reduces dedicated payment
terminals and gives consumers a convenient pay-anywhere option,
ultimately elevating the customer experience.

The Modern Store by Zebra is backed by comprehensive services
and an ecosystem of over 10,000 partners in 100 countries to
provide customized, integrated, retail-ready solutions that deliver
