Hointer is a new ‘microwarehouse’ concept store at the Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto that’s controlled entirely by customers’ mobile phones.

Created for the time-poor male who likes to shop for clothing (specifically jeans) quickly and efficiently it combines innovative in-store mobile applications and POS technology with traditional shopping. Hointer offers men and women a modern shopping experience that is as hassle free as buying online but allows customers to try on clothes before making a purchase.

You simply download a scanning app once in store, scan a style you like, choose your size and go to the changing room the app directs you to. Then in an ‘Argos’ style delivery system your item arrives down a shute for you to try on. Instant gratification.

Anything you don’t want you throw down a returns shute and items you want to buy can be done by swiping your credit card. Simple.

And the best thing about this model is it has a much smaller footprint than traditional bricks & mortar stores and takes less people to run. Compared to online retailers, Hointer is much closer to customers, making one hour delivery to the doorstep reality.
