Background

R3 Solutions recognized the significance of showcasing their wireless technology at a trade show but understood the difficulty of standing out in a crowded event with complex offerings. To overcome this challenge, they collaborated with IDC Corporation, a US-based client utilizing R3 Solutions’ technology in their automated carts. This partnership aimed to demonstrate the practical application of R3 Solutions’ wireless technology.

Strategic Partnerships

The collaboration with IDC Corporation proved instrumental. At the Automate Trade Show, both companies shared a booth without co-branding, maintaining individual identities. The joint display featured a reusable backdrop and a pull-up banner explaining the partnership. This strategic move allowed R3 Solutions to leverage IDC Corporation’s automated carts to showcase real-world applications of their technology.
