Reflexis Systems, an IT solutions provider for the retailer industry, has announced the availability of Reflexis StorePulse, an IBM Watson-powered app, which helps improve buying experience of shoppers in stores.
The Reflexis StorePulse is one of the latest implementations of IBM Watson which was launched earlier this year.
