Inditex looks to innovative technologies to boost business

Inditex , the world's largest clothing retailer and owner of the Zara chain, is developing new technologies, collaborating with tech firms and hiring talent from start-ups. The company has an innovation unit that tests ways of improving stock handling. It has collaborated with California-based Fetch Robotics to test robots to work in stock inventory. It has also partnered with chipmaker Intel to create devices that can quickly gauge the volume of clothing in boxes.

Inditex is focusing on areas like "location intelligence", ultrasound technology used to track footfall in stores, as well as virtual assistants to help customers. Location intelligence allows apps to switch to "instore" mode when a customer enters a store, so the customer can locate products and receive offers. Inditex has also formed development partnerships with technology companies like Jetlore, which uses artificial intelligence to predict consumer behaviour, and Spanish big data start-up El Arte de Medir.
