Excessive demand for certain product groups has encouraged consumers to look for alternatives and bypass retailers completely. Manufacturers and retailers must respond – by interacting directly with customers and using customer insights to create flexible digital systems that provide seamless delivery services. Zühlke has the consulting and development expertise required to deliver tailor-made, integrated solutions. We begin by developing a holistic vision. Based on our initial business analysis, we propose, develop and implement effective solutions. Once these are operating, we provide maintenance and support. Our proposals range from portal, app and cloud-based solutions to services that we integrate within existing systems. Paper: The future of contactless shopping Read interesting insights about changing customer needs and how innovative technologies facilitate use cases in the Zühlke-sponsored study by the Institute of Retail Management at the University of St. Gallen. We have summarised the main findings of the study in a paper.

While consumers demand sustainable, regionally sourced products, manufacturers must continually adapt both development and production to keep pace with evolving legal standards and guidelines. Products have to be repairable, energy-efficient and recyclable – to meet new norms for regionality, environmental awareness and sustainability. When Zühlke develops products and services, we factor sustainability and other key values into the entire product life cycle on our client’s behalf. This makes a difference to how we work with you. In addition to our product development know-how, we also apply the principles of value engineering to product design – principles that optimise cost, function and value. Our value engineering specialists support you in the fields of mechanics, electronics and software with consulting, product development and staff training programs that tap into our extensive methodological expertise and decades of hands-on experience. In this way we help you get products to market with an optimal balance of value and cost – that nevertheless meet modern standards for sustainability.

They also judge the quality of accompanying, value-adding services provided by the manufacturer. Retailers, for their part, need user-friendly point-of-sale solutions with all-round appeal – in particular online. This makes digital, value-adding solutions indispensable – to convince consumers who make purchase decisions based on the manufacturer and to secure retailers’ recommendations. We help you design and develop products and related services that add value throughout the customer journey – using IoT, AI, AR, VR and other state-of-the-art technologies. During the development process, we create user experience prototypes that help our clients gather fast and timely feedback from consumers and retailers on new services and products. Once your products and value-added services go live, as your partner we stay by your side. In this phase, we again adapt our services to suit your needs, from the full package – which you control – to partial services by which DevOps and Zühlke Application Management Services (AMS) ensure smooth operation. With this comprehensive, value-focused approach, we help you strengthen the bond with your customers, build dealer loyalty and reach new target groups.

Thanks to solid, relevant data and appropriate algorithms, AI-based solutions can leverage user preferences’ data and create forecast mechanisms to predict the user’s next action. The result is a significant competitive advantage, not least because we affect your entire organisation. In addition to user interaction, we optimise both analysis and prediction to a wide range of touchpoints across your whole supply chain. As an experienced partner of service-based organisations, Zühlke has the data-science expertise to support your digitalisation project. Our services range from future-proof digital strategy development, business model innovation and system landscape modernisation to effective AI and machine learning solutions. Our results-driven approach includes the Zühlke Data Sprint, which rapidly validates concrete use cases from a user, business and data perspective. We are convinced that the application of AI solutions in the consumer goods industry has the power to transform the customer experience and optimise the customer journey. These solutions boost efficiency and productivity by raising processes, marketing and sales to a whole new level.
