Australian retailer Harvey Norman became the world’s first retailer to launch the Microsoft Synchronized Shopping solution, an AI-powered retail software concept from technology company Microsoft that facilitates a seamless online and offline experience. Shoppers who visit the Harvey Norman website can access an AI-powered product advisor who guides them through a series of questions in order to assess their individual needs and recommend Microsoft laptops and other devices that best suit them. Once the shoppers have selected a short list of devices, the website creates a shopper pass that is stored in their Apple Wallet or Google Pay app on their mobile device, which uses geo-location to push a phone notification once they enter the store, guiding them to the location of the PC models that were recommended by the online advisor.
