MQ Marqet digitalize their fitting rooms to provide better service
MQ Marqet was founded in 1957 and offers a timeless assortment of fashion for men and women that can be worn for both business and leisure. They are one of the largest fashion brand retail chains in Sweden, with 90 stores located around the country.
MQ Marqet have an experimental approach and have developed a strong service offering in their stores to get closer to customers. One of their latest initiatives is to add a digital experience in their fitting rooms. Using a screen (from SML Group), customers can scan products and unlock several different functions, such as: read in-depth information about the product, see inspirational style photos, view stock availability, and ping the sales assistant to provide them with another size or colour.
See the video below where Mattias Liljenberg, Head of E-commerce, introduces the initiative.
The vision behind digitalizing the fitting room was to provide the customers with better service and modernize a very important part of the store experience - Mattias Liljenberg, Head of E-commerce
This concept was brought to life using an MVP approach, and went from idea to launch in just two months. Since MQ Marqet already had easy access to the data used in the experience (product data from inRiver PIM and stock data from the ERP) through Occtoo, they did not need to spend a lot of time and budget on integrations.
With instant access to the necessary data needed through Occtoo's Experience Data Platform, the project could go from idea to deployment in only two months
