NORTH CANTON, Ohio,
Jan. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Diebold Nixdorf (NYSE:DBD), a world leader in driving
connected commerce, has partnered with Duty Zero by cdf to enable a
digital customer experience for six stores within the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).
Duty Zero by cdf is the retail brand of the China Duty Free
Group (CDFG) and Lagardère Travel Retail joint venture in HKIA. To
increase convenience for travelers who may not have time to shop or
do not want to carry bulky items while traveling, CDFG partnered
with Diebold Nixdorf to launch a customer-facing mobile app powered
by the digital retail capabilities of DN Vynamic™
software. The app allows incoming travelers to pre-order food and
liquor up to three days in advance and collect from Duty Zero by
cdf's pick-up counter at HKIA's arrivals hall. The service will be
soon extended to departures.
The Diebold Nixdorf solution connects digital shopping to the
physical stores, offering CDFG's customers a seamless shopping
experience. To take advantage of the pre-ordering service,
customers can download the mobile app and choose to pay at the
store by cash, credit card, AliPay or WeChat. Customers are
guaranteed a hassle-free shopping experience since items are
available for ordering and pick-up 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. As an extra incentive to use the mobile app, China Duty Free offers online customers the same
promotions that are in-store and plans to offer app-exclusive
promotions for special occasions.
"The Duty Zero by cdf customer app is one of our greatest
achievements, and we firmly believe it will not only drive customer
engagement and satisfaction, but also generate additional sales,"
said China Duty Free Group President Charles Chen.
For even more convenience and speed pre-orders, checkout can be
completed entirely mobile by store associates' via handheld devices
running Vynamic POS. Since shoppers approve and pay with their
smartphone in a fraction of time anywhere in the store, CDFG is
better positioned to serve the needs of hurried airport
passengers.
Diebold Nixdorf's leading solutions directly address retailers'
increasing need for transformative technology to support a
radically changing retail landscape. The company's DN Vynamic™
Retail Software Suite has accrued multiple acknowledgements from
top analysts since launching in 2017. The "Forrester Wave™ Point of
Service Q3 2018" recognized Diebold Nixdorf as a Strong Performer.
According to Forrester, "Diebold Nixdorf offers excellence in store
operations [and] demonstrated impressive back-office and POS
maintenance capability […]." Diebold Nixdorf received the highest
score among all participating vendors in the "product strategy and
vision" criterion. The company was ranked in the Top 5 both within
RBR's Global POS Software 2018 study and IHL's Retail POS/mPOS
Global Software Market report 2018.
"Our solution connects multiple systems that work together to
create a seamless shopping journey for travelers," said
Bernard Grellier, general manager,
Retail Solutions at Diebold Nixdorf. "With the Vynamic Checkout and
Vynamic Mobile Retail solutions, we enable China Duty Free Group to
stay connected with its consumers at all times."
