In-Store Analytics with Computer Vision

Retail analytics for physical stores: understand how shoppers move, wait, engage and buy, and turn that data into decisions.

What is computer vision in retail?

Computer vision in retail uses cameras and AI models to turn what happens on the shop floor into structured data. Instead of guessing, retailers measure footfall, dwell time, queues, zone performance and conversion in each store, and compare stores, periods and campaigns from a single retail analytics dashboard.

What our retail analytics measures

01

Footfall and capture rate

Count passersby and entries to understand how well the store front converts street traffic into visitors.

02

Dwell time

Measure how long shoppers stay in the store and in each zone, and spot areas that hold or lose attention.

03

Heatmaps

Visualise where shoppers walk and stop, so layout and merchandising decisions are based on behaviour, not intuition.

04

Queues

Monitor waiting at checkouts and fitting rooms and trigger alerts before queues affect service.

05

Conversion

Relate traffic to transactions to measure store conversion and its evolution over time.

06

Engagement with content

Measure attention in front of screens and displays to evaluate in-store content and retail media.

How in-store analytics works

1. Capture

Cameras or sensors are positioned at entrances, zones, checkouts and screens according to the questions the retailer wants to answer. Each deployment is designed store by store.

2. AI processing

Computer vision models detect and classify movement to produce metrics such as counts, direction, dwell time and occupancy, so the output is data rather than footage to review.

3. Dashboard

Metrics are consolidated in a retail analytics dashboard where teams compare stores, days, hours and zones, and connect them with sales data when available.

4. Alerts and action

Real-time alerts notify store teams about queues or other events so they can act while the shopper is still in the store.

Frequently asked questions

How does computer vision work in retail?

Cameras capture what happens on the shop floor and AI models convert it into metrics such as footfall, dwell time, queues and conversion, which are shown in a dashboard.

What KPIs can I track with in-store analytics?

Typical KPIs include footfall, capture rate, dwell time, zone performance, queue length and waiting time, engagement with screens and store conversion.

Which solutions are built on this technology?

People Counting 4.0, Customer Journey, Employee Journey, Product Journey, Loss Prevention, heatmaps, sales area correlations, mall traffic monitoring, DOOH analytics and offline A/B testing.

Is it suitable for chains with many stores?

Yes. The approach is designed to compare stores and regions from one dashboard, and deployments are planned store by store.
