Hans Prawira said digital technology has changed consumer patterns for shopping. Therefore, Alfamart wants to participate in the development of digital technology so that the company can continue to compete with other retail trading companies.
“Today, digital technology has brought new patterns to businesses, including changes in consumer shopping patterns that were previously unimaginable. Without adopting advances in digital technology, of course, business actors will find it difficult to keep up with developments and to continue to be in an increasingly fierce competition. Alfamart must be able to change our perspective quickly considering the acceleration of digital technology progress is very high,” said Hans, quoted from IDN Times.
“Metaverse is a necessity that will soon develop as a new place where customers can experience virtual shopping at Alfamart,” he added.
He also praised WIR Group because its track record in the digital world is unquestionable. From the way he spoke, Hans seemed very happy with this cooperation.
“WIR Group’s track record is unquestionable and we have chosen the right partner. Since 2022 Alfamart and WIR Group have also jointly innovated to develop a virtual store network called Alfamind. In fact, Alfamart and WIR Group were the first to introduce the use of Augmented Reality technology on the shelves of our stores that year, through the installation of DAV digital promotional tools,” said Hans.
With the retail connections that Alfamart has built, Daniel Surya considers this a challenge to bring Added Value to the company.
“Given that Alfamart already has a strong retail network, it is a challenge for us to bring added value with the presence of Alfamart in the Metaverse, and to be able to improve the service experience for Alfamart consumers,” said Daniel.
“We hope that the participation of retail forces in Indonesia such as Alfamart in the metaverse can encourage other sectors to be able to follow in the footsteps so as to increase a strong and diverse metaverse ecosystem,” he continued.
