The Leading Provider of Comprehensive Communication Solutions for Retailers and Supermarkets: LNL Systems

We take the time to understand our clients'business requirements and work closely with them to develop a successful communication program.

Founded in 2009, LNL Systems has emerged as an innovator and leader in the retail-technology industry. The leading provider of comprehensive communication solutions for retailers and supermarkets, LNL Systems offers highly configurable products that enhance sales floor communication, efficiency, security, and management control.

The company’s omnichannel solution, FlorComm offers a suite of products, which utilizes store cameras, sensors, and data to offer an integrated path to improved teamwork, greater efficiency, and control. The specialist of sales floor communications, FlorComm includes supplemental devices which help to make associates more accessible and productive.

LNL Systems: Powering the Smart Sales Floor

Based in Massachusetts, LNL has an exclusive focus on smart sales floor technology to improve the shopping experience and leverage staffing. Through collaborative planning, staged rollout, and superb after-sale support, LNL ensures that customers see an almost immediate ROI.

FlorComm is LNL’s signature service that includes training your sales force to use an integrated suite of products to create a Smart Sales Floor. This integrated solution has FlorCall buttons on the sales floor to summon assistence; FlorAlert in-aisle annunciators match staff availability to customer traffic; FlorChat radios are both push-to-talk communicators and PBX phones for external calls. This interface incorporated with beacons adds another advantage to the omnichannel solution. When a customer’s app comes in proximity to the beacon, a notification will be able to trigger customized alerts.

As information flows in from your local “Internet of Things”—motion sensors, security cameras, thermostats, and beacons—FlorAlert sends immediate customized messages to associates’ devices. This optimizes coverage for understaffed areas, discourages shoplifting, and monitors entry doors and cash offices. FlorAlert directs the right staff to the right spot at the right time, which in turn offers new upsell opportunities and helps close sales of complex products.

The crown jewel of LNL: FlorLink SmartHub

FlorLink SmartHub is a one of kind IoT product. The first “Retail IoT Platform”, FlorLink SmartHub activates the Internet of Things on your FlorComm Smart Sales Floor. This disruptive product transforms alerts from in-store sensors and online orders into actionable messages for retail associates and managers and into analytical data for executives.

With the arrival of FlorLink SmartHub, major retailers now have an affordable platform on which to multiply the value of every device on the sales floor—and from which to extract actionable business intelligence.

The AAA’s of FlorLink SmartHub:

Awareness: A customer enters an unstaffed department that features a complex, high-margin product. Within seconds, a message goes out to all FlorChat communication devices, Smartphones, and tablets, summoning the nearest associate.

Alerting: Your website forwards an order for local pickup. Attached to the store’s wired network, FlorLink SmartHub transmits a pre-recorded voice or text message to all FlorChat-equipped associates and/or a digital sign: “Order waiting to be picked.” Whoever’s available goes to the office, prints the order, picks the SKUs, tags the customer name, moves the order to the pickup area, and

Agility: A customer has a product question or needs fitting-room assistance. When she presses a FlorCall button, FlorLink SmartHub tracks how long it takes for an associate to respond. A Bluetooth beacon welcomes a customer by delivering a relevant promotion to his loyalty app as he walks by a display. When he taps into the app for more information, FlorLink SmartHub relays the request to FlorChat communication devices, Smartphones, and tablets.
