If you’ve never used a body scanner, you are likely guessing your measurements or have searched through multiple sizes & stores to finally get the right fit.

The good news is that tech has solved this issue incl. FIT:MATCH.ai who have partnered with Intel Corporation for their solution. One of their clients is Savage X Fenty, where clients have experienced the timesaving and cost efficient digital shopping tool based in the fitting rooms of physical stores.

Join my new episode with Hillary Littleton from FIT:MATCH.ai to hear all of the details!
