Purpose The omni-channel strategy provides a holistic experience during shopping by integrating online and offline channel services. In this digitalized realm, customers are more dependent on online elements for shopping. However, physical stores are still their first choice for apparel shopping. The introduction of interactive technology is one of the key elements to provide an online experience in the physical store. The purpose of this paper is to identify the impact of interactive technologies on purchase intention and its role. Design/methodology/approach This study has been conducted in Delhi using 573 customers who are using interactive technologies for shopping. A self-developed questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data was analysed using structural equation modelling through smart partial least square 3. Findings The results show that 46% change in purchase intention was due to mobile point of sale/digital wallet, tablet/i-pad/digital signage, smartphone and click and collect/ship from store technology. However, there was no impact of the smart mirror and in-store Wi-Fi technology on purchase intention. Originality/value This study focuses on various technologies which provide online experience at physical stores. This study offers new insights for the theoretical and business framework of omni-channel brands. These technologies could be used as key performance indicators of omni-channel retailing in future.

Lean is a philosophy of continuous development, and making the evaluation of its effects on a business against the expected value-adds further assists the business managers to make strategic decisions on the adoption of new productivity improvement initiatives. The present study was designed to comparatively assess the status of the lean initiatives among lean initiated and non-lean initiated apparel units. The study was limited to 10 selected lean initiated and non - lean initiated apparel units, each manufacturing ladies garments in the National Capital Region (India) using inclusion and exclusion criteria from the member list of Apparel Export Promotion Council, Gurgaon, India. The status was evaluated on the basis of seven lean bundles formed by combining 33 lean enterprise practices and using six- stage assessment matrix from the traditional to world class on the basis of the total scores obtained. The result revealed that most of the lean initiated apparel units were at the planning, learning, initiation, and improving stage that is phase I or II, while only one unit was found to be at phase III, that is, at extensive lean introduction and results visibility phase and had a long way to go towards complete transformation. Still, a significant difference was found in the current status of lean initiatives among lean initiated and non-lean initiated apparel units. The lean assessment matrix developed can also be used by other apparel manufacturing units actively engaged in their lean journey to benchmark themselves against the “best in class” lean standard.
