Internet of Things (IoT) - Customer Science

IoT is growing at 33% per annum and by 2020, businesses will spend over 2.9 trillion on over 20.4 billion deployed "things" (Gartner Report). Gartner observed the business spend will get the greatest gain in customer service from the IoT. Gartner's research says, "Start Now", as without it - businesses become non-competitive with lower customer satisfaction, higher costs and limited innovation.

The IoT uses sensors on devices or "things" to create centralised rich data from the environment and then assesses the data to take action. This could be as simple as:

Pushing a button on a device in the shower to order more soap from Amazon
Increasing life-span and reliability of aircraft engines by GE while reducing costs
Improving customer shopping experiences at IKEA, increasing revenue and improving customer satisfaction
Shopping without checkouts at Amazon Go

Technically, the IoT is a scalable platform consisting of smart connected devices, ubiquitous wireless connectivity and cloud-based computing. But IoT is not just about hardware, devices and connectivity. Fundamentally IoT is about transforming the way you do business, whether it’s changing the way you sell or track your product, or improving customer satisfaction through environmental and occupancy data.

IoT is perfectly suited to improving customer experience with its ability to sense an opportunity to help a customer and take that action.
