IKEA, with its reputation as a trendsetter in the industry, is known for its drive to constantly innovate and set benchmarks that outpace traditional market standards. With a commitment to perpetually enhancing customer experiences and staying ahead of its competitors, the idea of the Interactive Point of Sales (IPS) was conceived.
