Traffic Analytics that Drive Conversion
When customers need assistance, they expect knowledgeable retail store assistants to be readily available. However, without insight into the busiest hours for stores and their specific departments, managers often have to rely on guesswork, resulting in less-than-optimal staffing and missed selling opportunities. With our industry-leading traffic analytics program, you gain more than basic footfall data — you unlock a deeper understanding of peak times and power hours for each location. This empowers you to strategically schedule staff, maximise selling opportunities, increase revenue and ensure customer satisfaction.
Shrink Visibility Solutions to Drive Profitability
As shrink continues to rise across almost all categories, DIY and home improvement stores have become prime targets for shoplifters and organised retail crime groups alike. Shrink Visibility aggregates data from Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) solutions to provide real-time insights that help retailers understand their shrink patterns, so they can fight back effectively. By knowing what, when and from where, DIY and home improvement retailers can protect their high-value and in-demand goods, reduce out-of-stocks and improve the shopping experience.
Supply Chain Intelligence for Visibility and Control
With an extensive range of products spanning multiple categories, home improvement retailers and DIY stores need total control and clear visibility across their inventories and supply chain operations. That’s why leading retailers trust Sensormatic’s Supply Chain Intelligence suite to keep shelves stocked with authentic merchandise, making it easy for customers to find exactly what they need, when they need it. Our item-level inventory insights enable retailers to optimise distribution and achieve accurate order fulfillment throughout the entire supply chain from source to store.
Store Guest Behaviours to Improve Customer Experiences — and Revenue
With large store footprints, diverse product categories, a wide array of omnichannel options and in-store services, DIY and home improvement retailers offer something for everyone. But how can these retailers understand what each customer wants or where they want it? Sensormatic’s Store Guest Behaviours solution enables retailers to anonymously track shopper movements throughout stores, departments and zones. These insights help optimise store layouts, improve customer flow and strategically position products and displays to enhance the overall shopping experience.
On-Floor Visibility to Keep Shelves Stocked
When DIYers, contractors and property and facility managers need a product, they tend to need it now. But when that shopper is in the middle of a project and can’t find the part or tool they need, their experience suffers — along with the perception of your brand. Our On-Floor Visibility solution combines RFID-powered inventory data with TrueVUE Cloud’s item-level analytics to ensure inventory reaches store shelves at the right time. This approach helps prevent out-of-stocks, increases sales and engagement and improves confidence in omnichannel fulfillment strategies.
UK Automotive Leader Halfords Integrates Loss Prevention Solutions for Next-Level Results
With more than 450 stores across the United Kingdom and Ireland, Halfords is one of Europe’s leading motoring and cycling retailers. But like most other retailers, they, too, were feeling the impact of rising shrink across many of their locations. They knew they had to act, and they also knew that their aging loss-prevention solutions were no longer up to the task.
After unifying their EAS infrastructure, investing in Source Tagging and enabling Shrink Management as a Service (SMaaS), all that changed. Find out how Halfords lowered their shrink by 9%, improved the customer experience and even saved critical time on in-store labour.
