We are showcasing some concrete innovations in which we co-invest with our partners, to demonstrate our ability to stimulate European collaboration to increase customer satisfaction, margins and productivity in this highly competitive field" explains Guillaume Toublanc, France Director of EIT Digital.
Key player in the shopping of the future, PICOM® has developed its strategy based on short and medium-term ICT opportunities to trade anywhere and at any time. The unity of place and time that has characterized trade for a very long time is now about to be broken by a double transformation: the hybridisation of forms of commerce and the desynchronisation of the stages of the purchase journey.

Digital Industry Action Line
The <link innovation-entrepreneurship digital-industry>Digital Industry Action Line covers the seamless process from production to retail and the related supporting functions such as logistics and consumer engagement. The mission of the Action Line is to improve efficiency in production and retail, to better address customer needs, and to help save natural resources in manufacturing and logistics. Within this value chain, a large amount of data and knowledge is produced and shared. This data has an increasing share of the value of the whole business domain.
Our approach
The Action Line targets value creation from big data collection, aggregation, analysis and visualisation services (and their enabling technologies) for decentralised production management covering the complete product lifecycle: design, simulation, production, operation, consumption, maintenance, and consumer relationship frameworks.
Value creation may also be achieved from dynamic and flexible Omni channel solutions for all kinds of commerce - physical, online or blended - which enable the seamless consumer experience in exploration, in choice of products, payment and delivery, as well as collection and analysis of consumer trends and insight for logistics, retail operations and customer relationship management.
