挑战
资生堂株式会社是一家领先的化妆品公司,该公司希望通过为其美容顾问 (BC) 提供一种与客户互动、影响产品开发和相互联系的新方式来提升客户体验。该公司近 30 年来一直通过技术支持 BC 的工作,并很早就开始探索移动性。为了推动移动创新并提供更好的客户互动、产品反馈和团队合作工具,资生堂希望为 BC 配备 Apple iPad“美容平板电脑”,这需要为平板电脑格式开发新的移动应用程序。如果开发人员必须成为每种移动设备的语言和参数方面的专家,那么为各种设备和操作环境创建应用程序可能会很困难。
关于客户
资生堂株式会社是世界领先的化妆品公司之一,致力于创造美丽和健康。该公司在欧洲、美国和亚洲经营多品牌业务。这家总部位于东京的公司拥有约 46,000 名员工。资生堂在 22,000 名独立的面向客户的美容顾问 (BC) 的帮助下销售产品,这些美容顾问是在资生堂化妆品柜台工作的百货公司员工。该公司近 30 年来一直通过技术支持 BC 的工作,并很早就开始探索移动性。
解决方案
资生堂实施了 IBM® MobileFirst Platform Foundation(原 IBM Worklight® Foundation)解决方案。该开发平台支持流行的设备,只需一个共享的代码库即可。资生堂的开发人员使用它来创建一款美容平板电脑应用程序,使用熟悉的 Web 语言,并能够重用手机应用程序中的一些代码。该平台还有助于管理安全性并简化应用程序原型设计、测试和质量控制。MobileFirst Platform Foundation 软件帮助资生堂克服了从项目规划到部署 10,000 台平板电脑的挑战,仅用了一年时间。在没有新员工的情况下,现有人员提前部署了一系列移动应用程序,维护成本也大幅下降。

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals. And, with a long standing history supporting customers in the food processing, service, and retail settings, Victor knew that strict regulations were costing organizations thousands of dollars in excess overhead trying to manage their rodent-control solutions. Trap inspections in these environments are often difficult and time consuming, requiring personnel to manually check a trap’s status multiple times per day, amounting to over six hours of manual labor. Victor is looking for an innovative way to increase operational efficiencies with the use of technology.
