The advantages of flow monitoring for corners and shop-in-shops

December 10, 2021

As the retail sector becomes increasingly competitive, retailers are constantly looking for ways to improve the performance of their shops. One strategy that has grown in popularity in recent years is the use of people counting and tracking technology for corners and shops-in-shops.

By collecting traffic data, retailers can better understand how customers move through their shops, which areas are most popular and where bottlenecks occur. This data can help retailers optimize their shop layout, merchandise presentation and staffing levels to improve the customer experience and increase sales.

In addition, people counting and tracking technology can also provide retailers with valuable insights into customer behavior. By tracking customer movements and actions, retailers can learn which products are most popular, which promotions are most effective and how long customers spend in certain areas of the shop. This information can help retailers make more informed decisions about merchandising, marketing and staffing.

In addition to these benefits, people counting and tracking technology can also help retailers improve the security of their shops. By monitoring customer movements, retailers can detect and respond to suspicious behaviour, reducing the risk of theft and other security incidents.

This information enables retailers to:Optimise shop layout according to footfall Tailor the product and service offering to customers' needs Measure the impact of promotions and events on shop footfall Improve the customer experience by identifying friction points
