Benefits
• Recognize and engage customers
• Push context-relevant information
in real time
• Gain insight into store paths and
customer behavior
• Integrate with other systems such as
CRM and loyalty program
Seventy-five percent of shoppers use their mobile devices while shopping in stores,
and twenty-five percent of these shoppers purchase on their mobile device while in
the store (InReality study, 2015).
Today's consumer purchasing journey involves multiple steps, many of which are
now being captured, digitized, and transformed into metrics and data. Every shopper
engagement, inventory movement, and promotion leaves a data trail providing
opportunities for new capabilities, both from historical data and real-time information,
to support decisions across the business. The result is a shift from how to acquire the
data to how to extract insights from it— insights that can be turned into differentiation
and competitive advantage for the retailer and a better shopping experience for
your customers.
Build Smarter Mobile Experiences
Your customers expect more mobile, immersive, and personalized experiences.
With Cisco Customer Mobile Experience, you can quickly create and deploy
context-aware experiences that engage people on their mobile devices. This helps
you build stronger customer connections, implement new business models, and
increase revenue opportunities.
It Starts with Understanding Your Customers
Create Unique Shopping

For example, a customer walks into your store. His mobile device is
automatically detected and connected and you send him a welcome
message. He sees sales items and promotions based on his previous
shopping behavior. A map helps him navigate the store. The store
manager can track product interests and browsing patters to create and
send specialized and targeted information directly to him on his device
or the digital displays in aisle.
With the Cisco Connected Mobile Experience you can make this
engaging customer experience reality. Enhance your customers'
shopping experience even if they don't download your app. You can
engage shoppers with voice and video while they are on your in-store
network. At the same time you can track customer demographics and
interests for targeted ads and promotions. The store manager can test
new store layouts with more precision and track product interests and
browsing patterns to understand customer needs better and help store
associates be more effective.
We help you define and deliver a mobile strategy that backs your
business goals and initiatives. We can also integrate your app into
multiple enterprise back-end systems, including our Intelligent Contact
Center, so you have a 360 degree view of your customer interactions,
and can deliver a consistent user experience.
"Knowing our customers is key to being able to engage
and inspire them. We have the ability to capture their
activity online, but understanding their behavior in the
store is key to our multichannel leadership strategy."
— Andy Beale, Head of Digital and MultiChannel Development
F&F Clothing, Tesco
Next Steps
Let us help you define and launch a winning mobile strategy for
your business so you can tap a new source of shopper data, field
test new store layouts and reimagine the customer experience.

Cisco PublicCase Study | University of León
The University of León masters digital disruption, creating a connected
learning environment where students can thrive and excel.
Digital tsunami
The IT team at the University of León
was battling a digital tidal wave. With
increasing numbers of mobile users
and devices, the campus wireless
network was being pushed beyond its
original capabilities. Inevitably, users'
experiences began to suffer.
"It was clear students and teachers were
unhappy," says Francisco Pérez Laorden,
head of communications. "Wireless
performance had slowed, so it was
being used less and less."
These limitations were also stalling
innovation in teaching, the university's
bold vision for virtual learning, and the
delivery of video-based educational
content. There had to be a better way.
Connected classroom
The university tested products from
three vendors. "We found Cisco®
access points were easiest to manage
and the most robust with the same
solid performance as our wired
infrastructure," says Perez.
With Cisco Wireless, the university can
support 5000 concurrent users with 100
percent coverage across the campus.
Now, students are learning anywhere,
anytime using any device. As a result,
the university has seen a 70 percent
rise in wireless trafc.
Supplementing what they've learned
in the classroom, students can also
get video content streamed directly
to their mobile device. This wasn't
possible before.
"The new Cisco WiFi
infrastructure will change
forever the learning lives of our
students and teaching staff."
Francisco Pérez Laorden
Head of Communications

Innovative connected

Enhance student experience with
faster access to information,

Consistent access with reliable,
highly available wired and
wireless networking for more
connected learning
Greater control
The wired and wireless networks are
managed together with ease through
Cisco Prime™ Infrastructure. With one
single view, the IT team can locate and
fx issues much faster than before. And
they can proactively monitor and control
network usage and allocation.
"Cisco Prime simplifed the network
usage view," says Perez. "We have seen
a reduction in complaints from students
and staff regarding network availability."
Learn anywhere, anytime.
Teachers are able to confdently use
online resources for live teaching
sessions without worrying about
bandwidth glitches.
With improved WiFi, students have
access to online learning resources—
on demand and one thousand times
quicker than before.
Both staff and students enjoy a much
faster and more reliable experience.
The university's networks—now
equipped with Cisco Aironet® 1600 and
Aironet 2700 access points—are more
adept in meeting evolving bandwidth
and services requirements, while
optimizing new application deployments
with Cisco Catalyst® switches.
Clear path for innovation
New possibilities for education have
opened up. With secure, reliable, wired
and wireless networking, the university
is able to deploy more on-demand
applications and add more devices. It
previously struggled with this due to
bandwidth and optimization ceilings.
Pérez sums up: "Using video as a
platform to extend the breadth of
education exposure from staff to
student, and the depth of content
reached by students, will enable
a whole transformation in the
educational experience."
