Augmenting Work & Staff

Augmented Reality For Customers and Employees

Augmented reality is a massive opportunity for retail and it’s finally picking up serious steam. The Redstage team is busy working on some awesome augmented reality projects, an untapped revenue source for at-home or at-work shopping experiences. There’s a lot you can implement during the shutdown that will continue to pay off when stores open up.

For companies who manufacture industrial machinery, your customer could be more likely to purchase your product if they tap a button on your product page using their phone and see how the device fits in their factory. In the same way, if you sell coffee machines, consumers will be more likely to purchase the product if they can see it in their kitchen. When physically going to the store or manufacturer is out of the question, augmented reality can help fill the gaps.

Whether B2B or DTC, when businesses open up again, your investments in augmented reality will continue to pay off as a helpful way for customers get the products they need. Lastly, if there is a second wave and businesses shut down again, augmented reality can give you an edge to keep sales coming while your competition closes their doors.

Rethinking Workspaces: Together, But Separate

In the same way we think of centralizing or decentralizing systems, many companies are reconsidering the way they work. With office leases coming up and few (if any) personnel occupying office space, companies like Twitter and Square are starting to realize the future of work is remote. Both companies chose to allow employees to work from home indefinitely and collaborate digitally.

Companies that can consolidate offices and manage business operations through cloud filing systems like Microsoft SharePoint are poised to save on costs and be more agile. Chances are you’ve already installed some remote-work solution (seen by the dramatic rise in Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Zoom users). Consider conducting a cost-benefit analysis of reducing office space, skipping the lease renewals, and getting set up with more permanent cloud solutions.
