The System Unit and The Elite Shopper


Entrepeneurial idea: The Elite Shopper

  • While shopping online, a purchaser places his or her favorite items onto a wish list. The purchaser takes the items that were chosen and while on line makes an appointment time with the store's stylist. The stylist will hold the items and when you arrive for your appointment, places the items into a dressing room for you to try on. When showing up for the appointment, facial recognition of the purchaser is performed by a store computer and he or she is escorted into a dressing room to try on the items. After shopping, the purchaser's finger is scanned by another computer and the selected items are automatically charged to the purchaser's credit card.


The System Unit Lecture:

  • The System Unit on a desktop personal computer includes the important aspects that will be used for my entrepreneurial idea; memory, a video card, and a sound card. My ‘Elite Shopper’ idea relates to the System Unit because it will be used in store for memory; an important feature in making customers feel special.  When a customer comes into the store they will be identified by the facial recognition software and with top of the line memory, recognizing the customer by file will be much easier. The CPU in our store’s computers will also hold the basic instructions on what to do when a customer enters through the doors; it will quickly turn on and send out instructions from memory.
  • Next, the instructions will be transformed into a command, such as “bring up Kara G’s past shopping file”, and then the result will be written to memory. My parallel processor will implement my ‘Elite Shopper’ program on the computer in the fastest way possible; less of a wait for the shopper means better service. As the ‘Elite Shopper Experience’ says right in the title, the experience is elite. Having a SSD, a solid-state drive, means better everything technology wise for the idea. Though it is more expensive, our elite experience means every aspect of the store has to be top of the line.
  • A top of the line, reliable computer system unit is a huge aspect in the success of the business idea. Whilst affording expensive parts for the most impressive of computers is outrageous, in the end customer service will be so successful it will pay itself back. By giving the customers quick service with the assurance that the computer will be less susceptible to shock, we are automatically giving off a good impression. Having the cream of the crop computer technology means that your company has the potential to be the cream of the crop in whatever industry you choose.

  1. You should consider having your customers distinguishable facial features on the cloud as opposed to on the PCs at your stores. That way, customers will be recognized no matter what store they go to. What is the point of having a customer scanning his face? Couldnt he just enter his name into a computer and have the same information pulled up? You would save money by doing it that way.
