Smart Retail
Smart Retail: Innovative shopping experience through digital technologies
In an increasingly digital world, Smart Retail aims to revolutionize retail through the use of innovative technologies. By using innovative sensors, our IoT platform and our expertise in data analysis, gaps in the customer journey can be closed and an innovative shopping experience created.
Discover how our solution helps to master the challenges of digital retail in order to optimize processes and costs and increase sales.
Implementation of heat maps and customer flow analyses in stores
By using sensors and cameras, the movements of customers in the store can be tracked precisely. This makes it possible to identify high-traffic areas which, in conjunction with the POS system, provide information on which products and shelves attract the most attention. This in-depth understanding of customer movements and routes through the store makes it possible to optimize the store layout and strategically place products to maximize sales.
In addition, real-time feedback in the form of heat maps and utilization data provide valuable insights that enable immediate action to be taken, such as opening more checkouts to reduce waiting times and increase customer satisfaction.

Optimization of marketing and sales strategies
Deep insights into your stores help to optimize processes and increase sales. Intelligent sensors and cameras make it easy to draw conclusions about customer behavior and interactions, determine the length of stay or carry out an analysis of the shopping basket to create cross-selling opportunities.
Analysis of walkways and waiting areas to optimize the layout and placement of products. Minimization of waiting times through real-time optimization of staff deployment.
Real-time data makes it possible to directly influence customer experiences or customer behavior (e.g. through targeted advice, proactive customer interaction).
Real-time monitoring of cold chains using smart sensors in refrigeration appliances and transport vehicles in order to
- Guarantee quality
- Minimize waste
- Ensure traceability
- Trigger alarms in the event of an error
- Recognize device failures and maintenance intervals
- Inventory optimization: By analyzing sales data and customer interactions, inventory can be better planned and reorders optimized.
- Theft prevention: Anomalies in customer behavior or movement patterns can indicate potential theft.
- Measure campaign success: Checking how well special advertising campaigns or promotions work in-store.
- Personalized offers: Based on customer behavior and preferences, tailored offers can be provided in real time.
