    2017-11-13

    The “Pop-up store” turned out to be the most important offline initiative of Alibaba for the Nov. 11 Shopping Day this year – the first year since it developed the concept of “new retailing.” As the first hardware service provider of Alibaba for its new retailing campaign, CVTE took part in the implementation of the smart pop-up store swiftly. Providing “end-to-end” hardware solutions for a variety of service providers and presenting smart screen, custom makeup trial screen and many other black technology products one after another, CVTE had instilled “hard strength” into this tremendous reform of retail business underway.


    At G-SHOCK, a pop-up store of Casio at the Mixc Shanghai, a cloud shelf was embedded in the store wall. It is a product of CVTE. On the smart screen rolled Casio’s products on the market and displayed the brand’s most sought after items. Consumers of interest only needed to click the screen to read product information and scan the QR code to make a purchase.

    The “Magic Mirror” for makeup trial developed by CVTE was one of the most eye-catching items at the pop-up store of the DR PLANT.Before a customer selected and bought a product, he/she could have a test of their skin first. Based on the skin data analysis, the brand operator was able to conduct a more scientific selection of the product feature, product composition and practicality that suited the customer best. Accordingly, it would recommend or customize an exclusive skincare product for the customer and help him/her make wiser choices.

    After all, in the future, each individual, each item will become a “terminal”. As to intelligent hardware service for retail business – a field CVTE has been exploring, its tentacles will certainly be extended to “end-to-end” and it will be a big new world.
