Section Three: Literature sources searchedAs per the views of Nowodzinski, Łukasik and Puto (2016), IoT is helping business to elevate customer loyalty,boost sales, offering personalised experience and also improving inventory management. Customer experience isenhanced by utilising IoT. Furthermore, Iot enables to gain useful insights with reference to consumerpreferences, thereby, helping to improve customer experience. Innovative models are making their way such assmart shelves. It contains three elements like RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag, RFID reader andantenna. RFID tags have integrated circuit and microchip antenna helped to transmit data to RFID reader. Theinformation is collected from RFID tags and then finally sent to IoT platform where information is analysed andstored.According to Ganesan, Maragatham and Lavanya (2016), inventory management is also possible becauseof IoT as it automatically monitors level of stock and sends alert to management if certain item is running low andor it will expire soon. By tracking stock levels, IoT enables to reduce stress, remove operational inefficiencies andsave costs up to a major extent. By transmitting important information to management, retailers can easilybecome aware about customer needs and preferences in the best manner possible. Lee (2017) says that business is able to attain more efficiency by using robots. They have potentialimportance to retail sector as BI intelligence predicts that enormous robots such as more than 2.8 million arelikely to provided to businesses in coming years. Services to shoppers are provided through robots by little or nohuman interaction. This enhances shoppers' experience and quick services are offered to them.Sioshansi (2016)argues that IoT is dramatically influencing retail sector. Role of IoT is increasing and business can even attainenhanced operations. With the integration of IoT solutions, successful marketing campaigns are possible whichare based on customer behaviour and better quality services can be provided. This also ensures that reduction inoperational costs are made.REFERENCESBooks and Journals Bok, B.G.J., 2016.Innovating the retail industry: an IoT approach(Bachelor's thesis, University of Twente).Nowodzinski, P., Łukasik, K. and Puto, A., 2016.
