ECOSYSTEM OF THE GLOBAL ONLINE MARKET OF FOOTWEAR AND CLOTHING BASED ON 3D CONTACTLESS FITTING SERVICE

Imigize service is the first 3D online fitting Customers no longer have to go shopping for a fitting pair of shoes (clothes soon) or get disappointed that footwear bought in an online shop doesn’t fit. Now anyone can buy footwear (clothes) online and be sure that it is going to be comfortable as if you would try it on and buy it in a regular shop.

We design this Platform using the Imigize Measurement Center system combined with advanced Algorithms that will measure the size of your feet with precision and size. We will design this system you can use anytime and anywhere, without the hassle of going to the store, you can measure directly the size of shoes that fit for your feet through the Applications We developed in the Android and iOS operating system. We believe that the Community no longer needs to go to the store, We will make it simpler and do not need to directly contact with customers, all can be solved through the online system and via Blockchain technology. We also do development in the selection of clothing size, We will directly resolve the issue of clothing size that is not in accordance with the Customers because We realize that 40% of the return of Clothing is due to its size is not appropriate.

Disadvantages of existing approaches that IMIGIZE is addressing
Approaches to solving the problem of footwear size remote selection are not designed for suitable size selection (cases with style fitting), or don`t provide sufficient data for precise adjustment (fitting based on 2D measurements - maximum length and width of the internal volume of the shoe). Approaches based on 2D measurement are limited to a certain range of soft sports shoes with laces.

Most of footwear are behind their view: all solid leather shoes for men and women, women low and high heel shoes, winter shoes with fur and many other, where try on knowledge of parameters such as the height of the leg lift, the height of the fingers, elevation of the metatarsal portion, the position of the thumb and little finger, achilles, ankle, shin etc. play an important role.

The internal footwear measurement methods above involve laboratory techniques for measurement. They are few in numbers, highly labor intensive, heavily dependent on the human factor, thus limiting accuracy, repeatability, and the ability to quickly and cheaply scale the project. The use of a stationary 3D scanner to scan customer’s legs on the basis of the existing technology of 3D laser scanning is expensive, not cost effective and most importantly does not involve mass feet measurements and rapid expansion of the service remote selection of shoe size

Imigize mission:

• To make an online purchase of comfortable and appropriate for the size of shoes and clothes available to each customer.
• To create a blockchain ecosystem on a global online footwear and clothes market that will allow retailers and manufacturers to have access to decentralized and verified data on personal anthropometric conform profiles of buyers. At the same time, buyers will be motivated to give access to the data.
• To transfer most of the global footwear and clothing market to Internet.

In its approach to the measurement of the shoes Imigize uses innovative technological solutions, which have recently been developed and found application in the field of non-destructive industrial control, for the aircraft industry and microelectronics.

The result is the possibility of constructing a full three-dimensional model of the measured internal volume of the shoe. The internal volume of the shoe 3D model is created using preparatory operations simulating the position of the shoe on the foot of the potential customer. This allows making similar the generated 3D model of the internal volume of the shoe to one during the actual physical fitting.

The technology of Imigize provides an opportunity to measure virtually all the products manufactured by the world's footwear industry. This refers to any model of men's, women's and children's shoes for all occasions and uses.On the basis of these technologies in Saint-Petersburg is built the world's first industrial Center of the internal volumes of the shoe measurements in 3D, with an annual capacity of 1 million pairs of shoes with the possibility of increasing it by several times.

Imigize Service Blockchain creates a new ecosystem in the online footwear and clothes market, based on customers’ verified anthropometric data, size fitting degree and personal comfort profile. These data are decentralized and protected by the blockchain technology, which gives a possibility to all participants of the ecosystem to independently manage their ownership rights of personal and commercial information.

Our competitive strengths
Innovative measurement technology of shoes and customer's feet of Imigize takes into account all weak technological disadvantages of our competitors and makes contactless footwear fitting simple and convenient tool for the mass use of shoe shopping online.

• Patented method (PCT patent) based on 3D measurements gives the highest accuracy of the size selection of the shoe due to the precision matching of full 3D models of the internal volume of the shoe and the customer’s feet. This takes into account personal comfort requirements.

• The versatility of this technology is the ability to measure all types of footwear of any material from any manufacturer.

• Unlimited worldwide service scaling due to the inexpensive portable scanners and mobile app for customer’s feet measurements in 3D (within 5 years 80% of the adults will own a smartphone (see GSMA Intelligence).

• Low cost and high performance of the internal footwear volume measurement is secured by conveyor line process.

• A pilot project of the service is already running on the test the Russian market: the companies Wildberries, RunLab, Sportmaster.

• The first measurements Center in Guangzhou (China) is being designed with a capacity from 2 to 5 million pairs of shoes in a year. The planned construction of footwear measurement Centers in China is located in areas close to the world shoe brands production and will significantly reduce the cost of service and logistics costs and samples of shoes to be digitized.

• The absence of real competitors in the markets of America, China and Russia
