Interactive brand worlds at the PoS
Innovative ideas for the digital upgrading of sales locations
Stand out from the crowd: interactive solutions for your store or point‑of‑sale
For a stationary local shop to stand its ground as a viable alternative to e‑commerce and online trade and even attract new customers, the exploitation of the full potential digitalization has to offer is highly recommended. Various ways of interactive product presentation give customers a considerably better understanding of a product and its features. Their playful and intuitive occupation with an object of merchandise increases their interest in the product and hence their willingness to buy it, and you want your customer to remember the purchase as an experience of a special kind. The benefits of innovative and interactive product presentation at a PoS are, for instance:
- playful and exciting approach to your products
- optic and haptic buying incentives
- interactive ways of product presentation and configuration
- exceptional equipment for a flagship store

Setting the scene for products and persuading customers – our interactive PoS solutions
Garamantis provides customized solutions with matching tailor-made software for virtually any product, store, or PoS. Here are just a few examples of possible use cases to inspire you and give you an idea of the practical implementation.
Interactive shop window
create attention and tell stories
An interactive window display is activated through the presence of spectators: it reacts to the movements and behavior of potential customers. With the help of laser systems and ToF cameras that cover a pre-defined area in front of the interactive storefront window and are linked to its control unit, the following effects become possible:
- mannequins or products set on a turntable turn towards the spectator
- interactive digital signage screens are activated and respond to the customer’s movement by displaying animated content
- the digital content displayed in the interactive window adapts itself to the respective viewer’s gender, age, and other features
By integrating touch-foils, multi-touch screens or light curtains into the shop-window control, even more interactions from the outside become possible for a potential buyer:
- turning, moving and altering the products on display
- interaction through smartphone and social media integration
- 24/7 selection, configuration and purchase of products, even outside of business hours

Multitouch Shopping Wall
draws all eyes on you and your products

The beneficial effects of a real multi-touch wall with custom-made software for your shop are:
- eyecatcher effect even from the outside through size and luminosity
- display of product-related animated content and video footage in idle mode
- interaction and action for one or more customers at the same time
- automatic product recognition (optical or RFID)
- self‑service information, configuration and purchase

Free advice on interactive brand worlds and PoS experiences
Benefit from our experience and be inspired by successful digital store concepts.
We will be happy to advise you individually and without obligation.
Gesture control enables new immersive experiences at the POS and is therefore becoming increasingly popular. The Berlin start-up Garamantis realized a touchless shopping experience on 21m² with laser-based sensor systems. Customers can use gesture control not only to control digital signage systems but also interactive 360-degree turntables.
A conventional vintage showcase usually dictates that the guests cannot touch and interact with the rare and expensive antiques, but with Garamantis’ interactive display cabinet, you can have the cake and eat it too. By allowing guests to remotely interact with the vintage camera, guests could learn a lot more about the camera’s history, while being able to view it from all angles!
The glass showcase combines multi-touch technology, interactive screens and direct interaction with the exhibited object. Handy: The digital content can be edited by the operator himself.
Product presentation 4.0
At the PoS, the futuristically designed, interactive installations are a crowd puller: they make people curious, arouse the interest of customers and invite them to find out more about an article or an offer. Descriptive products can be presented in an attractive way, for example in an interactive display case. An integration in the shop window enables customers to shop 24 hours a day at the digital POS of the stationary retailer.
“Omnichannel total”
With Garamantis we were lucky to win a professional partner for our Retail Experience Lab. Their technologies and solutions are very innovative and creative, and never cease to thrill our clients. Within no time, together we have developed a concept for the interactive wall. The realization went swiftly, and the ongoing support is extremely service‑ as well as customer‑oriented.
In the LIWEST theme store, Garamantis’ multi-touch table is a central element. Garamantis have handled the complex task of finding a way to interactively configure the product best-suited to the individual client’s household in an extremely professional way. Besides the air hockey game at the multi-touch table, the entire store is equipped with the Garamantis CMS and hence allows customers the highest flexibility. Due to the tight on-site schedule, everyone worked full-steam; but Garamantis, as usual, always kept a cool head and remained focused. That’s the way to enjoy collaboration!
Now the company, launched only in 2014, has revolutionized the concept of a classic presentation display case. The once-passive observer becomes an active user and interacts intuitively through the transparent multi-touch glass with the exhibit.
Building a bridge between tradition and new media while at the same time paying humble reverence to the brand Sacher was a lovely project, which we had the chance to realize together with Garamantis. Garamantis is a reliable partner when it comes to implementing creative solutions for very special requirements, like for instance our diorama installation. The underlying software and CMS are so flexible that within a few minutes, a new animation can be added to any given window in the diorama. In this way, customers can easily configure the diorama’s supply with new animations by themselves.
Overall, very remarkable and interesting technologies that can improve the shopping experience considerably. Via already ingrained behavior patterns, like touching or controlling with swipe‑gestures, the customer triggers information on the product or “experiences”, but one can also design further product descriptions and explanations in that way. It remains to be hoped that the use of these technologies in the retail industry will increase in the near future.
