Shopper Behavior Research Goes 3D
WMS and ETS Labs Join Forces
Paper packaging company Smurfit Kappa has
invested in a 3D virtual shopping environment to
analyze shopper behavior. The virtual store will
allow Smurfit Kappa customers to experiment with
packaging in a realistic retail environment. Slated
to debut in September, the virtual store will reside
in Smurfit Kappa's Development Centre in the
Netherlands.
Wine Management Systems (WMS) of San Rafael, Calif., and ETS Laboratories of St. Helena have
teamed to further automate the winemaking process
by integrating wine sample results from ETS directly
into WMS' Cloud-based Wine Production System.
The automation is designed to reduce data entry,
save time and increase accuracy. Visit www.winemanagementsystems.com or www.etslabs.com.
