TCS announced new software that enables retailers to leverage insightful data either from in-store sensors or other Internet of Things (IoT) devices to deepen relationships with customers through more personalized customer engagement strategies.

Available from TCS Digital Software & Solutions Group, 'TCS Customer Intelligence & Insights for Retail' helps established retailers compete more effectively for the loyalty of today's connected and increasingly empowered and demanding consumers. It is designed to counter the bombardment of today's consumers with random, irrelevant and untimely offers, which occur when retailers lack granular insights about individual customer preferences or can't capitalize on real life situations, such as in-store shopping.

The new software enables retailers to build trusted consumer relationships over time by delivering valued, personalized experiences in the right context and driven by insights from a variety of real world and online data sources. TCS Customer Intelligence & Insights for Retail is an integrated solution that fills the gap between systems integrators offering technology building blocks and platforms and the growing array of ad tech and marketing tech niche products. It can be deployed as soon as 30 business days, allowing retailers to quickly reap the benefits of personalized marketing at a lower cost. TCS Digital Software & Solutions Group is a strategic growth business within TCS that helps customers undergo critical digital transformations with modular, scalable and fully integrated, industry-tailored licensed software and solutions.

TCS' consolidated net profit fell 0.4% to Rs 6317 crore on 3% rise in revenue to Rs 29305 crore in Q1 June 2016 over Q4 March 2016.
