ReTailor Hub at C-star 2018

In the era of digitalization, “data-driven” is undoubtedly the core feature of new retail, utilizing offline data through the Internet of Things (IoT), face recognition, mobile payment, virtual reality (VR) and other technologies to leverage online consumer data. This allows for precise store management and personalized messages to be delivered in the offline environment. Such a "data-driven" method is adopted by many retail product solution service providers for offline stores.
Driven by adaptation to new technologies, the upgrade of consumption experience and the new form of retail business, C-star will debut "ReTailor Hub" this year, featuring two major retail brands – the fast fashion brand ROCOCO and the Classic Teddy dedicated to culture and creation. The brands will create an upgraded store featuring stylish aesthetics + smart retail in a 300-square-meter area together with 11 retail solution service providers, so as to bring a high-end visual feast combining innovative designs and black technology.
