Real-time B2B insights
analysis & evaluation

The analysis & evaluation of the data provides answers in the following areas:

Pre-store traffic

The purchase planning application is a new channel to the consumer and provides valuable insights into purchase planning.

  • How much of my turnover is planned in advance?
  • What number of customers come to my branch spontaneously or planned?
  • How can I optimally plan my capacities (staff, opening hours, availability of goods)?

 

Movement analysis in the shop

Precise and reliable position data is generated on the basis of light sensors and mobile phone data.

  • What do the shopping routes of my consumers look like?
  • Is my shop optimally positioned for an attractive shopping experience?
  • How much time has my consumer spent inefficiently in the shop?

 

Waiting lines in the shop

Long waiting times at the checkout reduce consumer satisfaction and loyalty. Precise light sensor technology monitors queues and, in combination with movement data, predicts occupancy.

  • What is the optimal cash desk staffing?
  • How does queue length affect shopping frequency and customer loyalty?
  • How many cashiers do I need to plan for next week?

 

Purchase analysis

Sales data is compared and linked with physical consumer behaviour data from the digital shopping cart, indoor navigation and digitised shop space.

  • How often do consumers return to the shop?
  • What are my consumers’ trading benchmarks (turnover, average purchase value, number of items in the basket, etc.)?
  • How does the average shopping time affect the average number of items in the basket?

 

Customer analysis

The consumer is not just a number, but receives an individual profile for the retailer, which reflects his or her behaviour before, during and after the purchase.

  • Who is my customer (age, gender, shopping preferences, etc.)?
  • Which offer campaigns work better or worse for different consumer groups?
  • Was the bid campaign effective?
