Benefits of using a smart store solution
There are short- and long-term advantages to using a smart store solution. Pinpointing trouble areas in real-time empowers employees to take immediate action to improve the in-store customer experience.
An effective smart store solution offers a consumer-friendly set up experience to bring your existing video cameras online. Look for retail-specific prebuilt AI models that allow your team to get up and running with no coding required. You’ll quickly get insights to help you:
Engage shoppers to increase sales. Learn which product displays perform best in relation to the greater store footfall. With cameras facing your end caps or promotions, display effectiveness analyses traffic and dwell time around key display areas. Insights help you optimise customer engagement and improve store layout.
Provide exceptional service. Queue management uses cameras facing your queues to let you know when and where your staff is needed, and automatically alerts your employees when a queue becomes too long. You gain long-term insights on how queue dwell time and length affect completions.
Better manage your entire space. With cameras facing entrances and exits, shopper analytics reveals traffic patterns to help you optimise stock and fine-tune shift management, so your store runs more efficiently. Shopper analytics also allows comparisons across stores.
