Zoho IoT in Retail
With Zoho IoT, retailers gain 360-degree visibility into store operations, from monitoring smart assets to empowering store managers with intelligent analytics.
By deploying GPS tracking systems, RFID tags, and sensors on smart shelves, store managers can easily track asset location and condition, streamlining store inventory management.
Set severity-based alerts, view maintenance work-order status, and track energy usage by facility and device all while managing stores across locations from the Zoho IoT cloud dashboard.
Features of IoT in retail
Real-time inventory tracking
Track inventory location, stock levels, and expiration dates to prevent overstocking and stockouts.
Supply chain monitoring
Monitor goods across warehouses, during transit, and even in customers’ carts to improve product quality and customer satisfaction.
On-site maintenance tracking
Enable predictive maintenance for refrigeration units, HVAC systems, and AHUs while monitoring environmental conditions to prevent stock spoilage.
Automated checkouts
Automatically read product tags when customers walk out of the store after purchase, eliminating queues and increasing conversion rates.
Who benefits from Zoho IoT?
Store owners & managers
By deploying Zoho IoT, store owners can view real-time reports and insights from sensors installed on smart shelves. This helps them optimize store operations by adjusting staffing and store layouts based on actual data.
Cold chain monitoring
IoT-enabled packages send real-time data to the Zoho IoT platform, giving operators full cargo visibility. By tracking temperature, humidity, and other ambient conditions even within vehicles operators can maintain product quality and safety.
Maintenance teams
With Zoho IoT alerts and alarm builders, maintenance teams are notified when refrigeration units or HVAC systems require attention or when temperatures fall outside safe limits, helping reduce energy consumption and prevent sensitive items from spoiling.
Supply chain partners & suppliers
Track stock availability, watch asset movements, and locate stock within the warehouse all thanks to the data gathered from IoT sensors and RFID tags attached to assets.
Retail management use cases
Smart buildings monitoring
Zoho IoT enables centralized monitoring of multiple building assets within a large textile manufacturing facility. Assets such as AHUs, energy meters, chillers, DG sets, and solar panels are integrated into a unified IoT platform for complete operational visibility.
