Taking shopper experience to the next level
 
The “Store Guide” app uses Philips Lighting’s highly accurate Philips Indoor positioning system as well as indoor mapping from Aisle411, a partner of Philips Lighting. Each Philips LED luminaire in the store transmits its location through a modulation of the light that is imperceptible to the human eye but is detected by the shopper’s smartphone camera. This information works with the retailer’s app to provide location-based services such as finding products or receiving special offers. Privacy is guaranteed because no personal data is collected.
 
The “StoreGuide” app, adds a new dimension to MediaMarkt shopping experience. It supports MediaMarkt’s new retail formula to take shopper experience to the next level both offline and online by re-designing of the store and making it an inspiring and fun place.

Through indoor positioning from Philips Lighting we facilitate an inspiring, fun and convenient shopping experience for our customers.” 
 
"Research from Philips Lighting with Kantar/TNS reveals1 that ‘locating products in a store,’ is one of the primary reasons for customers wanting to use a store app," explains Gerben van der Lugt, Head of Indoor Positioning at Philips Lighting. “We lead the industry with our energy efficient and indoor positioning-ready LED luminaire portfolio. Together with innovative partners we were able to realize the “Store Guide” app for MediaMarkt, taking shopper experience to the next level.”
