Leading mobility supplier to connect with potential partners, customers as it demos automotive-grade tech, reimagined for retail

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Jan. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DENSO, a leading mobility supplier, will exhibit at NRF 2024: Retail's Big Show (Booth #767) from January 14-16, where it will showcase cutting-edge automotive technologies applied to the retail world.

A Hyper-Accurate Positioning Solution, Benefitting Retailers and Shoppers
DENSO experts will showcase the company's microlocation technology, which automakers currently use to offer hands-free and secure vehicle access to users through their smartphone.

The team will provide a live demo of how this solution can be used in retail applications, supporting:

• New digital capabilities for retailers. Think real-time operations management and precision marketing.
• Enhanced shopper experiences. Like customized offerings and frictionless checkout.

It is an opportunity to experience a novel solution that strengthens indoor positioning accuracy, promotes omnichannel interaction and offers in-store personalization at scale.

"Retailers are looking for a digital edge and our microlocation technology, refined through years of automotive R&D and implementation, can help them find it," said Richard Snow, director of New Business Development at DENSO. "That is why we are at NRF: to meet with potential technology partners and customers who share our desire to level up retail's digital transformation, optimizing retailer performance and improving shopping experiences."
