June 16, 2016

Dallas-based storage and organization retailer The Container Store is using wearable technology that provides its employees with SKU look-up and immediate inventory analysis, while tracking in-store efficiency with other store locations, according to a company press release. The wearables are made by Theatro.

"The wearable gives all employees immediate access to store resources such as inventory availability and status of pickup orders via a simple conversational voice user interface, providing us less wait time for customers and better staff productivity all around," said John Thrailkill, executive vice president of IT and Business Development for The Container Store. 

The wearable technology will be used by the company's 3,000 employees and will be in 70 of the 80 stores by the end of July.
