The problem

What gets in the way today.

Retail environments rely heavily on staff to answer product questions, provide directions within stores or shopping centres, and handle customer enquiries. During busy periods, staff are often unavailable, leaving shoppers unable to find the information they need.

At the same time, retailers struggle to capture real-time feedback from customers while they are still on-site. Most feedback is collected later through surveys or review platforms, meaning valuable insights about in-store experiences are often lost. Without timely information or accessible assistance, shoppers may abandon purchases, leave frustrated, or miss promotional opportunities within the store.

The solution

How Omnie Vox changes it.

Omnie Vox provides shoppers with an intelligent in-store assistant that can answer product questions, explain promotions, and guide customers to the exact location of items or services within the retail environment. Through natural conversation, customers can also quickly share feedback, report issues, or rate their experience, giving retailers immediate insight into customer sentiment and operational performance.

The Vox Net management platform captures interaction data and feedback trends, allowing retailers to better understand shopper behaviour, improve store layouts, and refine promotions. By combining information access with real-time feedback collection, Omnie Vox helps retailers deliver a more responsive, engaging, and data-driven customer experience.

More applications

Where else Omnie Vox works.

VOX KIT

Store directories, department signs and POS displays you already own, now answering.

A retail wayfinding kit from Omnie Vox fits inside the store directories, department signs and point-of-sale displays already on the shop floor. A customer presses the button and asks where the fitting rooms are, whether a size is in stock or what is on promotion, and hears the answer in their own language before a member of staff is free.

Stock, price and promotion answers come from your own systems through AI Workflows in Vox Net. Spoken answers help dyslexic and visually impaired shoppers, and a calm, low-pressure voice suits customers who would rather not ask.

In practice

A department store is refitting its floor directories during a refurbishment. Vox Kit goes behind each directory as it is installed. On the first Saturday the ground-floor sign answers “where are menswear?” in Mandarin, tells a visually impaired shopper the way to the lifts, and the store sees in Vox Net that “click and collect” is the most-asked question of the day.

For every visitor

Multilingual, accessible and neurodiversity-friendly.

Compliance

Support for the standards and duties that shape accessible spaces.

Spoken, multilingual signage is a practical, documentable way to meet accessibility obligations, with Vox Net recording every interaction as evidence.

Legislation

Equality Act 2010

Requires service providers to make reasonable adjustments, in advance, so disabled people are not substantially disadvantaged. Voice-first signage is a documentable adjustment for visually impaired, dyslexic, neurodivergent and non-English-speaking visitors.

Standard

BS 8300:2018

The British Standard for accessible built environments asks for wayfinding information in more than one format, including audible. Spoken signage complements the tactile, Braille and high-contrast signs the standard already recommends.

Public sector

Public Sector Equality Duty

Section 149 of the Equality Act requires the NHS, universities, councils and transport authorities to actively advance equality and evidence it. Vox Net analytics give equality impact assessments and annual reports a measurable intervention to cite.

NHS

Accessible Information Standard

Mandatory for NHS and adult social care providers in England (DCB 1605), and monitored by the CQC. Requires information in formats people can understand, including audible and other-language formats. Omnie Vox meets this at scale, with an audit trail.

Building Regulations

Approved Document M

Part M of the Building Regulations requires reasonable provision for everyone to access and use a building, citing BS 8300 as its technical reference. Specifying Omnie Vox at design stage puts audible wayfinding in the inclusive-design package before sign-off.

Web

WCAG 2.2 AA & accessibility regulations

Vox App and the Vox Net control panel are keyboard operable, screen-reader friendly and high contrast, meeting the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 and ready for the European Accessibility Act.
