Being a [Sitecore partner](https://www.brimit.com/technologies/sitecore-partner), Brimit developed a virtual try-on for headwear and similar accessories which is based on Sitecore and uses AI-powered computer vision technology.

The solution features a smooth transition from offline to online user behavior, which helps to automate marketing and increase the sales of both online and brick-and-mortar shops. 

Set up:

- A TV screen or a touch screen
- An HD webcam
- A computer connected to the internet
- A gesture-tracking device

The solution enables apparel retailers with online and brick-and-mortar stores to apply multiple scenarios for engaging customers and increasing sales. A few of them are listed below.

#### Multiple scenarios for customer engagement and marketing automation

The solution enables apparel retailers with online and brick-and-mortar stores to apply multiple scenarios for engaging customers and increasing sales. A few of them are listed below.

##### Scenario #1. Engaging customers offline, retargeting them online

- A mall visitor tries on a few pairs of sunglasses.
- A new session is created together with an anonymous contact in Sitecore.
- The app collects analytics data and attaches it to the Sitecore contact.

    *It stores the actual models of sunglasses the visitor tried on, records how much time the user tried on each model, as well as some other data.*
- The app offers to add the model to a cart with a discount.
- The visitor scans a QR code with their smartphone camera and is directed to an e-commerce website.

    *The URL where the user lands is unique and loads all the analytics data from the Sitecore contact profile.*
- In order to complete the order or save their choice for later, the visitor needs to sign up.
- When a Sitecore profile is created, offline and online contact behavior profiles are merged by Sitecore for cross-channel insights and future optimizations.

##### Scenario #2. Adding AR experience to Sitecore commerce

A virtual try-on is integrated into an online store and adds the benefits of a real try-on to online shopping. The user can make sure a piece of headwear fits their body and head type, hairstyle, and matches their clothes.

##### Scenario #3. Engaging customers offline, increasing brick-and-mortar store traffic

- A mall visitor tries on a few pairs of sunglasses.
- A new session is created together with an anonymous contact in Sitecore.
- The app collects analytics data and attaches it to the Sitecore contact.
- The app collects analytics data and attaches it to the Sitecore contact.

    *It stores the actual models of sunglasses the visitor tried on, records how much time the user tried on each model, as well as some other data.*
- The app offers the shopper a discount and to pick up the model at a store nearby.
- The visitor scans the QR code with their smartphone camera and is directed to a web page where they receive a unique order number and instructions for where to go. *The contact profile is synced with a custom entity in CRM or integrated into POS software.*

    *Brimit’s Experience Add-in can be opened to show the Sitecore contact profile.*
- The visitor tells the order number to a store associate. The associate can see the model ordered as well as the other accessories the visitor tried on.

The store associate browses through a custom CRM dashboard displaying the visitor’s profile and the model ordered. Brimit’s Experience Add-in integrated with CRM can be opened to get additional contact insights.
