HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., 2016-Sep-16 — /EPR Retail News/ — The new Kenmore Alfie is a voice-controlled intelligent shopper that does the research for you to find the right item at the best price, regardless of the retailer. Alfie is an enormous time-saver because it can shop for anything from everyday items like paper towels, printer ink or groceries, to finding the perfect gift by simply saying “Alfie, give me some ideas for a birthday gift for dad.”
“Alfie uses our Shop Your Way platform combined with experienced associates who serve as intelligent shoppers behind the scenes to find the products that meet our members’ needs,” said Eui Chung, vice president of social commerce at Sears Holdings.
Alfie is able to learn users’ tastes based on previous purchases, and allows users to shop from history, simplifying the task of reordering frequently purchased or favorite items.
