Scan and Shop

3m people have downloaded the M&S app. In its launch week, it was the number one downloaded app ahead of the world-leading e-commerce company. And innovative features like Scan & Shop are the reason. For the customer it means less queues, more incentive to shop. For the business, we get a higher turnover of customers and increased sales. Simple, but intelligent.

Phoenix platform

Phoenix is personalising every single digital interaction. It consists of python microservices that provide an open API interface processing product and real-time customer data. So we can give customers astonishingly accurate fashion recommendations – tailored just for their tastes and interests. Eventually, this will extend not just to products, but entire journeys and experiences.
