As the Coronavirus-led nationwide lockdown has shut down many businesses, companies are now trying to invest their resources to improve hygiene and enable contact-free shopping experience with the use of technology. WoodenStreet is one such company that is investing almost Rs 3.8 crores (~$500,000) on improving its stores across the nation, enable contact-free shopping using VR and 3D services and sanitising the supply chain.
Although all of the company’s stores are shut due to the nationwide lockdown, however, as the COVID cases are stabilising, the company is planning open some of the stores in the safe zones of the country with 25-30% staff. When the stores open, no employee or customers would be allowed without a mask and the company will allow only 2 families in the store at a time. These measures are taken to comply with social distancing and of course, prevent the spread of the deadly Coronavirus.
