AMERICAN transport giant XPO Logistics has announced the coming of visualisation technology later this year so customers before the delivery can better fit sofas, beds and other large items inside their homes. 'Augmented reality is another innovation that our retail and e-commerce customers can offer, providing more control over the shopping experience,' said XPO president Troy Cooper, describing the new app on the company's Ship XPO consumer self-service platform.
'The technology creates a virtual image of how an item will look in a given room, dramatically decreasing the likelihood of returns,' he said, reported the American Journal of Transportation.
The announcement follows the company's recent addition of voice integration technology to Ship XPO, giving consumers the ability to track their purchases throughout XPO's last mile network using Amazon Echo or Google Home.
In September 2017, XPO announced a major expansion of its last mile network that will position a total of 85 hubs within 90 per cent of the US population this year.
In February 2018, the company announced new last mile operations in five European countries.
