Vodafone
announced yesterday that it is working with Mango, the global high
street fashion retailer, on a new programme to rollout digital fitting
rooms to the company’s top stores worldwide.
The digital fitting room
has been designed around a new Internet of Things (IoT) digital mirror
designed by Mango, developed by Vodafone in collaboration with Jogotech,
which will allow the shopper to scan the clothes tags in the fitting
room and then contact shop floor staff directly from the mirror, through
a digital watch, to request different sizes or colours.
The mirror will also suggest additional clothes to complement the original choice.
Mango’s
aim is to extend the digital fitting room to its top stores and will
help to blend the online and real world shopping experiences for Mango
customers.
This is the first phase of a digital transformation
project for Mango to create new ways for customers to engage and relate
to the brand.
Vodafone IoT director Stefano Gastaut said: “This
project helps put more power at the shopper’s fingertips and will bring
Mango closer to its fashion conscious shoppers and offer them more
options and experiences than a conventional fitting room.”
Mango’s chief client officer Guillermo Corominas added: “This is a really exciting project for Mango.
We see the future of retailing as a blend of the online and the offline.
These
new fitting rooms are another step in the digital transformation of our
stores to create a whole new experience for our customers.”
Mango was founded in 1984 and today is one of the leading fashion groups in the world.
Based in its city of origin, Barcelona, it has an extensive store network of 800,000sq m in 110 countries, including Qatar.
