Customer experience has overtaken price and product as the key brand differentiator. New technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing help retailers support this demand with a more flexible, reliable, secure, scalable, and resilient in-store infrastructure.
Cultivate more seamless, personalized customer experiences and spend less time managing infrastructure. Combine virtualization, IoT, and edge computing with an adaptable infrastructure that streamlines retail IT operations at the storefront level, and provides major opportunities to enhance the consumer experience while also lowering costs. Run your existing business applications—such as point of sale, inventory management, video security, and your new IoT transformative applications—on a common platform.
SC//Platform offers a low-cost edge solution built on tiny form factors (NUC, etc.) making it ideal for deploying in small clusters where highly available computing was previously cost-prohibitive. These appliances also introduce HyperCore™ Edge, which eliminates the need for a backplane network switch, lowering the TCO and delivering simpler connectivity for edge networks.
By enabling edge computing and IoT, SC//Platform allows retailers to stay competitive and outpace their competition. SC//Platform allows your traditional applications to run alongside new transformative technologies such as cashier-less checkout, AI customer identification, real-time pricing, inventory management, freezer and cooling systems, and electronic shelf labels.
We’re bringing machine intelligence to IT management. SC//HyperCore keeps applications up and running while detecting and correcting infrastructure problems automatically. This unifying technology allows you to simplify management while reducing significant costs in all environments.
Enhanced scalability supports the expansion of store networks without compromising performance, alongside robust security features safeguarding sensitive customer data in compliance with industry regulations.
SC//Platform offers seamless integration with existing systems, optimizing inventory management and checkout processes, with disaster recovery capabilities and minimal downtime, for operational continuity.
Scale Computing Platform's streamlined management enables efficient control of multiple locations' IT infrastructure, while its high availability ensures uninterrupted service, crucial for fast-paced operations and enhanced customer experience.
“Scale Computing Platform delivered the stability, support and simplicity we needed to modernize our stores with IoT for optimizing freezing, heating and the customer experience. Their solution also outclassed the competition on total cost of ownership and simplicity.”
After intensive evaluation, Delhaize decided Scale Computing Platform was the best approach, as it provided the infrastructure needed to support the company’s current demands while paving the way for future edge computing deployments.
Combine traditional applications like point of sale, equipment monitoring, inventory management, building controls, video surveillance, etc. with the necessary IoT and transformative technologies that enable IoT and transformative technologies onto a single platform. SC//Platform is designed to eliminate discrete systems running single operational applications and data silos which hinder advancements in operational efficiency, functional collaboration, and creation of new services.
In today’s 24/7/365 world, IT systems can’t afford downtime. SC//Platform was designed to be highly available, no matter what happens. Even when a hardware component fails, or an appliance breaks down, a Scale Computing cluster can keep your systems running with little or no downtime. Keep your business moving with a system that won’t let you down.
Traditionally, infrastructure scale-out has been so challenging that organizations planned and purchased infrastructure to accommodate growth up to five years in advance. With SC//Platform, you buy only what you need and then scale out seamlessly when you need it.
A more integrated offline-online retail strategy is inherently more efficient—and thus more sustainable—especially in areas like energy usage, product waste, and packaging.
For example, retailers can use precision analytics to match supply and demand more accurately, reducing excess and unsold inventory. They can enable smart shelves that automatically monitor product wastage and replenishment.
By rethinking the design and layout of the store, retailers can enable circular business models. That includes refillable containers and product-as-a-service models on the one hand, and micro-fulfillment centers that open new home delivery options on the other.
