The future of the retail industry will involve the use of RFID (radio frequency identification) technology, which makes it possible to optimise the retail cycle management. It was based on this technology that the platform ‘CreativeRetail’ was created, and it not only improves customer satisfaction, but also increases sales between 4 and 21% in stores or store chains. The CreativeRetail was developed by Creativesystems, together with INESC TEC.

Did you know that you can now order a customised pair of shoes online and have it on your doorstep in 24 hours? Thanks to a partnership between technology-based companies and R&D institutions, including INESC TEC, the technology makes it possible to produce footwear units, and is now installed at Kyaia, in Guimarães. The new solution to produce customised footwear in 24 hours was developed as part of the HighSpeedShoeFactory (Model to Produce Customised Footwear) project, and changes the way the footwear industry operates.
