All six technologies showcased at the Online Retailer Expo and Conference are “real and available,” according to event director Alice Kuepper, although some are yet to be implemented by local retailers. The first technology – local startup Brauz’s take on 'omnichannel' retailing – brings physical, digital and virtual shopping together with an app that supports online browsing (including a recommendation engine). The app then generates alerts when you're near a store that stocks a selected product or a close alternative.
