RETAIL
▪ American Apparel’s
reliance on RFID for
inventory tracking
creates pain point
for seemless self-

▪ In-house IT solution
still requires
physical kiosks in
store to scan items
Self-checkout QR code
▪ Customer scans
QR code at in-store
kiosk to pair phone
with RFID reader
RFID tag
▪ Customer scans
Impijn RFID tag at
in-store kiosk to add

Self-checkout
▪ Customer stores payment options
in mobile account
▪ Customer selects payment option
at time of checkout and completes
process on mobile device or kiosk
26. McKinsey & Company | 25
…but to do so required integrating many different services
and extensive customization by in-house IT
American Apparel favored several
platforms that its IT developers
had previous experience with
▪ JBoss / WildFly used as
application server
▪ Combination IIS / Apache
Web servers used to deliver
Web services (e.g., mobile
app, kiosk)
▪ JSON used for packet
transmission
Real-time offers
Developed use case with
Qualcomm’s Gimbal for
geofencing

▪ Used Qualcomm
Viewphoria for image

In Summary….
Old definitions of digital haves and have-nots are outdated; now
it’s about the haves and have-mores. There is no opting out of the
digital economy
Have-mores (firms, industries) do much more with digital; and
they see tangible gains in profitability, efficiency, and ability to set new
rules of competition
We are at early stages still. Sectors representing 80% of the
economy have yet to benefit from digitization
Digital is not just about a “thing” (like improving IT) – it’s about a
new way of doing things (implying people, assets, use cases)
Incumbents are sitting on a digital goldmine, yet most have yet to
leverage digital’s full potential
