Retail Content Management Services

Lenovo’s Retail Content Management Services enables real-time creation, scheduling, and display of multimedia content across stores. The solution includes all necessary hardware and software and can be deployed, maintained and managed across multiple locations globally. Lenovo noted that a food and beverage chain has deployed the service across over 100 locations and reported significant cost savings from dynamically managed promotional campaigns, reduced use of paper marketing materials, and lower manpower requirements for managing campaigns and devices.

Retail Robotics

In partnership with Yunji Technology, Lenovo introduced Retail Robotics, featuring modular, AI-driven robots capable of automating deliveries and enhancing customer interactions. In a pilot project at a 400-room hotel, the robots handled over 90 percent of guest requests and takeout services, increasing sales revenue by 20 percent while reducing manpower needs. The solution offers flexible applications across both hospitality and retail sectors.

Yunji’s robotics solutions are also currently deployed by more than 30,000 hotels, including those of Hilton Hotels and Resorts, Huazhu Group, InterContinental Hotels Group, Jinjiang Group, and Marriott Hotels and Resorts, Lenovo reported.

“This represents an advancement in traditional retail robotics in three key ways,” Lenovo explained. “First, the modular design enables easy customization for a wide range of applications, unlike other robots limited to single tasks. Second, AI, navigation, and vision recognition capabilities enable high-quality customer interactions, combined with reduced delivery times to enhance customer satisfaction. Third, the robots collect data during operations, creating an AI-driven feedback loop that can be integrated into supply chain, customer service, and merchandising decision-making platforms.”
