R E TA I L & C PG 151 “Over 10 per cent of a garment’s total impact on the environment happens after it is purchased. To help reduce the amount of clothing going to landfill, Ombori Grid has developed smart in-store recycling bins with a twist. When customers drop off clothing, the interactive screens give them a sense of reward for joining the retailer ’s efforts to cut carbon emissions. Retailers can also add information about the recycling programme and their branding to build customer trust. In addition, they can add gamification elements to encourage customers to recycle more, share updates with family and friends, and donate to charity. Ombori Grid also has many other solutions that can help retailers become more sustainable. For example, we can provide solutions to offer customers size guidance and relevant reviews and recommendations to reduce returns and shipping.” Oskar Jakobsson Chief Product Officer, Ombori Grid “K3’s solutions are fully embedded into Microsoft Dynamics 365 and offer enhanced functionality specifically for fashion and retail. They empower businesses to truly own the entire concept-to-consumer process, providing insight and control over all processes and channels to market – from the design of a collection through to manufacturing, supply, distribution, pricing and promotions. Our solutions, like K3 Fashion, offer the ability to classify all products according to their materials and certifications. This ensures that our clients have all the necessary information to build sustainable catalogues and be authentic and transparent in their sustainability credentials.” Marco Vergani CEO, K3 “The Akari team has engaged with some of the world’s largest retailers – including Marks & Spencer – to simplify their in-store organisation, sustainability efforts and performance with innovative solutions like our Digital Display application, which allows for vital communication and collaboration between workers. The combination of apps like this and our Stock & Sustainability Tracker solution, which uses Microsoft Teams and Power Platform, allows us to fully support retail frontline workers to keep on top of product expiry dates and significantly reduce waste of valuable stock. We also provide innovative technology solutions to a vital part of the UK workforce.
