Fits.me

Fits.me website

For 7 years Fits.me has helped major global retailers such as Hugo Boss, ASDA, QVC and many more over-come the major challenges of apparel shopping – namely: how do retailers engage distracted and price-driven shoppers in a meaningful way and help them understand and find the right clothes for them.

Our pioneering Virtual Fitting Room and Fit Recommendation solutions enabled retailers to help shoppers who were looking for that last bit of help when shopping for clothes – which size should I buy?

In doing so, over the last 6 years, Fits.me analysed the body types, physical proportions and preferences of 5+ million shoppers and the technical composition of thousands of garments to match the right clothes to the shoppers who were asking for help.

Rebecca Minkoff 

Her new San Francisco boutique, like its New York location, comes complete with innovations like a “touch wall” fitted with technology by eBay. Using this wall, shoppers can search through available items and ask the staff to fetch and deliver a specific item to their dressing room. Nordstrom is trying something similar in its Seattle and San Jose stores, with full-length touchscreen mirrors. It’s not hard to imagine a retailer making the leap from such technology to something more, since they’re already following the lead of e-commerce companies that offer a wide range of personalized touches and services.
