The mirror will assist customers in understanding what product features are suiting them and can recommend changes.

The company is also integrating artificial intelligence to improve efficiency. According to companies estimate 50 – 60% sell well while rest are marked down.  The company looks to analyse why a particular product did not sell well and guide the designers.
