At the same time, some retailers must reduce the growing costs linked to product returns and create stronger connections between stores and digital commerce. Retail needs new engagement engines capable of generating traffic, qualified customer acquisition and long-term loyalty.

capsule becomes the entry point of a new retail value chain

capsule becomes a powerful consumer acquisition infrastructure for retail networks and brands.

Visitors create their Real Digital Human, receive personalized content and access brand experiences, promotions and product recommendations.

capsules connect naturally with retail tools such as coupons, loyalty programs, in-store promotions and eCommerce platforms, transforming store visits into identifiable omnichannel customers.

Multiple capsules can be deployed across the same mall or retail network to drive customer acquisition at an even greater scale.

Retail conversion & consumer engagement

capsule transforms store visits into interactive product experiences that encourage discovery and purchasing.

Consumers create their Real Digital Human and engage with brands in a memorable and personalized way.

This interaction increases conversion and repeat engagement across retail locations

capsule experiences can significantly increase product sales, with measurable uplift across collections and complementary product categories.

Omnichannel revenue growth

capsule connects physical retail with digital commerce, promotions and loyalty programs.

Consumers receive personalized content, promotions and services that encourage purchases both in-store and online.

Consumers can continue their purchasing journey through the brand’s eCommerce platform, extending the retail experience beyond the store visit.

This creates new omnichannel revenue opportunities across the entire retail ecosystem

Spontaneous visits + Drive-to-store

Consumers who happen to be near the capsule engage instantly, drawn by a compelling experience: precise body measurements, a real Digital Human, a viral Story Fit Video, and immediate discounts on their off-line purchases.

At the same time, targeted visitors, equipped with coupons distributed by the Operator and partner brands through prior communication, come specifically to the location for the same benefits.

The capsule attracts both spontaneous visitors and targeted audiences, creating a powerful mix of organic and high-intent traffic

Multiple capsules deployed across retail networks enable large-scale customer acquisition

For example, ten capsules deployed in a department store environment could generate up to 840,000 consumer interactions per year.

More responsible commerce

Accurate body measurements, combined with silkke's product simulation tools, help consumers make informed choices before purchasing.

This reduces costly eCommerce returns, one of the biggest operational challenges for fashion retailers, and improves overall logistics efficiency.

Retailers benefit from lower operational costs while moving toward more responsible commerce

Luxury product storytelling

Luxury brands can transform each client into the embodiment of their universe.

Through Digital Humans, individuals are no longer spectators but integrated into the brand’s narrative, wearing precise digital garments, accessories, or beauty looks aligned with the Maison’s identity.

These experiences go beyond immersion: they create a personal connection anchored in the body, where each interaction becomes memorable, ownable, and reusable over time.

Rather than staging products, brands reveal them through their clients, turning physical spaces into living expressions of desirability and identity.

This reinforces product desirability while establishing a new standard of high-end, identity-driven in-store experiences.

Cross-industry product experiences

Companies across industries create phygital, immersive experiences powered by the Digital Human, designed to turn engagement into sales.

Consumers step into brand environments where they discover, test, and purchase products directly through their Digital Human. They are no longer passive audiences, but active participants in conversion-driven experiences.

For instance in automotive, they explore a vehicle and experience virtual test drives. In real estate, they visit and reserve properties. In interior design, they project themselves into fully furnished spaces and purchase furnitures. In sports, they equip themselves in realistic training environments.

Brands showcase products through memorable retail experiences while generating strong consumer engagement.
