Retail Stores People Counting

Whether you are a global retail chain, or a small business, TCS BI has various people counting and visitor monitoring technologies that helps you better understand how your physical store is performing. Our Acumen3 Analytics cloud-based app uses sophisticated algorithms to normalise large volumes of data into an easy to understand and visually appealing dashboard. Guessing how our store is performing based only on sales is a thing of the past – now you can now enjoy clarity! Clarity of customer loyalty, clarity of staff performance, clarity of marketing ROI, and the list goes on.

TCS BI understands the challenges that face retailers. We have seen how consumer behaviour and purchasing trends have morphed. Apart from competition from fellow bricks-and mortar retailers, stores also have a new breed of competition, online and mobile retailers. Additionally most retailers now use various sales and communication channels themselves. This means marketing and other resources need to be allocated where the best return on investment occurs. TCS BI can help you obtain the key data, evidence and understanding of one of those key channels, your physical store – it’s what we specialise in.

TCS BI has been supplying retail stores and chains with their people counting and visitor behavior technology and analytics services for over 30 years. And with maturity comes irreplaceable experience and intelligence.
