SYNQ Technology has unveiled a suite of AI-powered voice solutions designed to revolutionize in-store communications for retailers. By integrating Microsoft Azure AI services, SYNQ aims to transform traditional analog radios into intelligent devices, enhancing operational efficiency and customer engagement.

SYNQ's AI-Powered Voice Solutions​

The newly introduced capabilities, SYNQ Air Traffic Control and SYNQ Radio Agent, leverage Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Service, Copilot Studio, and Azure AI speech-to-text technologies. These innovations enable retailers to convert standard radio communications into structured, actionable data.

SYNQ Air Traffic Control​

This feature allows customer help requests, whether digital or button-activated, to be converted into voice notifications for store associates. When an associate verbally acknowledges a request via their radio, the system automatically updates the status for the customer on their smartphone. This seamless communication is facilitated through Teams Adaptive Cards and Azure AI speech-to-text, bridging the gap between digital customer inputs and voice notifications.

SYNQ Radio Agent​

By transcribing and analyzing radio traffic with AI, SYNQ Radio Agent provides retailers with valuable insights into in-store operations. This digitization enables automatic task escalation based on specific keywords, allows associates to query product information and inventory levels directly from their radios, and supports the creation of AI agents for various in-store tasks.

Integration with Microsoft Technologies​

SYNQ's solutions are deeply integrated with Microsoft's suite of AI services:
  • Azure OpenAI Service: Provides advanced language models for natural language understanding and generation.
  • Copilot Studio: Offers tools for building and managing AI-powered assistants.
  • Azure AI Speech-to-Text: Enables accurate transcription of spoken language into text.
This integration ensures that retailers can enhance their existing communication infrastructure without the need for extensive hardware overhauls.

Industry Implications​

The retail sector is increasingly adopting AI to improve operations and customer experiences. For instance, Syensqo.AI developed SyGPT, an AI chatbot powered by Azure OpenAI Service, to enhance data access and operational efficiency within their organization. Similarly, SymphonyAI has integrated Azure OpenAI Service into its Connected Retail Platform to improve category management and retail operations. (microsoft.com, symphonyai.com)

By leveraging existing radio infrastructure and integrating cutting-edge AI technologies, SYNQ provides a cost-effective solution for retailers aiming to enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
As the retail industry continues to evolve, the adoption of AI-driven solutions like those offered by SYNQ is likely to become increasingly prevalent, setting new standards for in-store communication and operational excellence.
