Unlocking Phygital Experiences: The Future of Retail

Group-10000

The shopping landscape has dramatically transformed over the past decade due to rapid technological advancements and changing consumer behaviors. While traditional brick-and-mortar stores offer unique advantages, they also come with their own set of limitations. Phygital services aim to bridge this gap by creating a seamless and enhanced offline shopping experience.

Enhancing Convenience

One of the primary drivers of the phygital trend is the increasing demand for convenience. Modern consumers expect to shop whenever and wherever they want, with minimal friction. According to a report by Deloitte, 73% of consumers use multiple channels during their shopping journey. This indicates a clear need for retailers to integrate their physical and digital touchpoints, allowing customers to move effortlessly between them.

 

Phygital services cater to this need by offering features like “scan and get a personalized experience” while shopping. Customers can scan a QR code at the store entrance to receive personalized VIP treatment, special offers, and dedicated assistance from store staff.

Personalization and Customer Engagement

In a study conducted by McKinsey & Company, it was found that personalization can drive revenue growth by 10-30%. By leveraging data from both physical and digital interactions, retailers can gain deeper insights into customer preferences and behaviours, enabling them to deliver tailored recommendations and promotions.

For example, through the use of in-store sensors and mobile apps, retailers can track customer movements and browsing patterns, providing personalized offers in real-time. Additionally, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies allow customers to virtually try on products or visualize how they would look in their homes, enhancing the shopping experience and reducing the likelihood of returns.

 

Case Studies and Industry Reports

Several leading retailers and industry reports highlight the benefits and growing adoption of phygital services:

  1. Nike: Nike has been at the forefront of integrating phygital experiences in their stores. Their flagship stores feature interactive elements such as digital screens that display personalized product recommendations based on customer data. Additionally, the Nike app allows customers to scan QR codes on products to learn more about them and check availability in different sizes and colors.
  2. Accenture Report: A report by Accenture highlights that 83% of consumers prefer retailers that offer the flexibility to shop both online and in-store. The report also notes that retailers who effectively implement phygital strategies can achieve a 15-20% increase in customer satisfaction.
  3. Alibaba: Alibaba’s Freshippo stores in China exemplify the phygital concept by seamlessly blending online and offline shopping experiences. Customers can use the Freshippo app to place orders for home delivery or to be picked up in-store. The stores also feature digital price tags and robotic delivery systems, enhancing the overall shopping experience.
  4. Capgemini Research Institute: According to a study by Capgemini, 64% of consumers believe that physical stores are an important touchpoint in their shopping journey, even when they purchase online. This underscores the importance of integrating physical and digital experiences to meet consumer expectations.

 

The future of retail lies in the successful integration of physical and digital experiences. Phygital services not only cater to the evolving demands for convenience and personalization but also drive customer engagement and loyalty. As more retailers embrace this approach, we can expect a significant transformation in the shopping landscape, where boundaries between the physical and digital worlds continue to blur, creating a more unified and satisfying shopping experience for consumers.

Phygital retail is not just a trend but a necessity for retailers looking to stay competitive and relevant in an increasingly digital world. By leveraging the strengths of both physical and digital realms, retailers can provide a superior shopping experience that meets the needs and expectations of modern consumers.

GDPR Compliance

1. What is GDPR?

GDPR is a privacy and data protection law that regulates how European Union residents’ data is protected by companies and enhances the control the European Union residents have over their data shared over any platform.

The GDPR is relevant to any globally operating company which may be accessible to the European Businesses or Citizens of the European Union directly or indirectly. The customers’ data shared on our platform is important irrespective of where the customer is based out of, which is why as a responsible platform, we have implemented GDPR controls as our baseline standard for all our operations across the Globe.

2. Does the GDPR apply to me?

While the current EU legislation (the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive) governs entities within the EU, the territorial scope of the GDPR is far wider in that it will also apply to non-EU businesses who a) market their products to people in the EU or who b) monitor the behaviour of people in the EU. In other words, even if you’re based outside of the EU but you control or process the data of EU citizens, the GDPR will apply to you.

In keeping with our ongoing commitment to privacy and security, MODENX is committed to making it easier for you to comply with the GDPR.

3. What are main responsibilities under GDPR?

GDPR requires that personal data be:

● Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner
● Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes
● Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for achieving those purposes
● Accurate and kept up to date
● Stored no longer than necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected
● Properly secured against accidental loss, destruction, or damage

Further, GDPR places additional obligations on companies to document their processing activities and be able to demonstrate their compliance with the above principles.

It also codifies the requirement that companies apply data protection by design and by default when developing and designing processes, products and systems.

In addition, if a Company uses service providers to process personal data on their behalf, the Company will need to ensure that they have an appropriate contract in place that ensures that they are obligated to apply GDPR’s data processing standards.

Similarly, if a Company is transferring EU personal data outside the EU, they may only do so if it is being transferred to a country deemed by the EU Commission to have adequate data processing regulations.

For transfers to countries not deemed adequate, they must ensure appropriate alternative safeguards are in place.

Currently, under the Directive, approved transfer safeguards include the EU-US Privacy Shield and standard contractual clauses.

4. What is the definition of “personal data” under the GDPR?

Personal data refers to mean data that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (aka “data subject”). An identifiable data subject is someone who can be identified, directly or indirectly, such as by reference to an identifier like a name, email id, phone number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Importantly, this is a very broad definition and can encompass data like IP addresses of a user’s personal device, their device ID, or their phone number. It does not matter that the identifier could change (e.g., that the user could change their phone number or device ID).

What matters is that the information can be used to “pick that user out of the crowd” even if you don’t know who that user is.

It is also important to note that the definition of personal data is not tied to concerns about identity theft the way that definitions of personally identifying information (PII) are under many US data breach laws. So, even if it seems like there would be little privacy harm if someone got a hold of the users’ IP addresses that does not mean that those IP addresses are not personal data.

It just means that this data may not require the same level of data protection as more sensitive personal data like your users’ credit card numbers.

5. Who is the Controller and who is the Processor in the case of Excalibur Solutions Private Limited’s relationship with Customer?

Unless explicitly clarified in any agreement,MODENX will be the Processor and Customer/User will be the Controller.

6. What are the key changes from the previous regulations?

New and enhanced rights for data subjects- This law gives an individual/User the right to exercise complete authority over their personal data. Some of the rights highlighted in the regulation are:

Explicit consent- Data subjects must be informed about how their personal data will be processed. Organizations must make it as easy for data subjects to withdraw their consent as it is to grant it.

Right to access- At any point in time, the data subject can ask the Processor what personal data is being stored or retained about him/her.

Right to be forgotten- The data subject can request the Processor to remove their personal information from the Processor’s systems.

Obligations of the processors- GDPR has raised the bar for the responsibilities and liabilities of data processors as well. Processors must be able to demonstrate compliance with the GDPR and they must follow the data controller’s instructions.

Data Protection Officer- Organizations may need to appoint a staff member or external service provider who is responsible for overseeing GDPR, general privacy management compliance and data protection practices.

Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA)- Organizations must conduct privacy impact assessments of their large-scale data processing to minimize the risks and identify measures to mitigate them.

Breach notification- Controllers must notify the stakeholders (the supervisory authority, and where applicable, the data subjects) within 72 hours of becoming aware of a breach.

Data portability- The Processor must be able to provide data subjects with a copy of their personal data in machine readable format. If possible, they must be able to transfer the data to another controller.

7. What steps does the Company take to become GDPR- ready?

We have covered a lot of ground toward understanding and analysing how GDPR will impact our customers and making appropriate changes to our product and processes. Below is a glimpse of our analysis and the steps we took to ensure we are compliant well in time:

We have acted on many fronts to adhere to this new regulation.

● We have raised awareness across the organization through frequent discussions in our internal channels, and trained employees to handle data appropriately. They now understand the importance of information security and the high standards set by GDPR.
● We have assessed all our products, individually, against the requirements of the GDPR and have implemented new features that will give you more control over your data and ease your burden of achieving GDPR compliance.
● We have appointed a designated Data Protection data and ease your burden of achieving GDPR compliance Officer to oversee data protection and privacy breaches.
● Our application teams have embraced the concept of privacy by design and have provided you more control over the data you store in our systems. We constantly endeavour to provide you with more enhancements, which shall be rolled out in phases.
● We conducted internal audits of our products, processes, operations, and management. The findings were communicated to our teams, who have worked out the solutions to the identified problems.
● Based on the PIAs and internal audits, we have improved our data security methods and processes. This includes encrypting data at rest, based on the level of sensitivity and likelihood of risks.
● We have cleaned up our databases to ensure that we have only the latest and most accurate information. This clean-up process includes removing terminated and dormant accounts as per our Term and conditions.
● Customers will be notified of a breach without undue delay and within the time frame required under Applicable Data Protection Law(s) to Customer’s designated dashboard.
● Customers will be notified of a breach within 72 hours after the Company becomes aware of it. For general incidents, we will notify users through our website or the customer dashboard. For incidents specific to an individual user or an organization, we will notify the concerned party through email (using their primary email address).
● We have revised our Privacy Policy to incorporate the requirements of the applicable privacy laws based on our data inventory, data flows, and data handling practices.
