Explore the retail solutions we offer below, and view our selected case studies to discover how today’s apparel and footwear leaders have benefited from partnering with Sensormatic Solutions.
Traffic Analytics to Drive Better Decision-Making
When do your stores encounter peak traffic — and peak sales opportunity? Where do customers go before they visit, and how do they move through stores once they’re inside? With an industry-leading traffic program from Sensormatic Solutions, you can leverage this data to make data-driven decisions on everything from optimizing layouts and planograms, merchandising more effectively, and capturing more revenue from each shopper.
On-Floor Visibility to Keep Shelves Stocked
Out-of-stocks and empty shelves not only cost you conversions, they also create poor shopping experiences — and even damage brand perception. Unlike some retail inventory management solutions, RFID-powered On-Floor Visibility solutions and item-level inventory analytics from TrueVUE Cloud enable you to know in-stock position at all times, ensuring that shelves remain stocked and omnichannel orders can be filled accurately.
Loss-Prevention Solutions for Protecting Merchandise
Apparel and footwear retailers are frequent targets for thieves and ORC groups. With a variety of EAS and merchandise protection solutions that deliver powerful loss-prevention outcomes, retailers can protect their merchandise and keep in-demand and high-value items in stock and on shelves. Plus, our discreet loss prevention solutions can enable your stores to display merchandise openly, preserving your brand aesthetic without increasing the risk of theft.
Build Next-Level Loss Prevention Strategies with Smart Exit Solutions
Put all your loss prevention technologies to work in concert with Smart Exit Solutions. By integrating data from RFID, POS and EAS, as well as video, you get insights that help you respond to loss events proactively, as well as minimize out-of-stocks, grow sales, and improve operations. When used alongside the Shrink Analyzer application, you can see when and where theft occurs and take proactive steps to stop it before it starts. Your customers — and your bottom line — will thank you.
Supply Chain Intelligence That’s Actually Intelligent
When apparel and footwear shoppers want a product, they want it now — and waiting is rarely an option. That’s why retail leaders trust the Supply Chain Intelligence offerings from Sensormatic Solutions to minimize out-of-stocks and keep in-demand merchandise available. These solutions aren’t just limited to stores, either: They deliver impact across the supply chain, from the manufacturer to the distribution center and all the way to your loading docks, enabling you to deliver the products your customers want when — and where — they want them.
Store Guest Behaviors to Gain Vital Customer Insights
Understanding who your customers are and what they want is integral to better decision-making and improving the customer experience in retail. With Store Guest Behaviors, you’ll be able to make decisions based on real-world customer insights, including demography, visitor frequency, dwell time, abandonment rate, path to purchase and more. These insights can help brands, refine marketing strategies, optimize assortments, and improve the overall customer experience.
Apparel and Footwear Solutions in Action

Johnston & Murphy Use Foot-Traffic Analytics to Drive Conversions
For almost 180 years, luxury footwear brand Johnston & Murphy has provided high-quality shoes and high-quality service for its customers. But delivering that level of service requires time that store associates didn’t always have when stores were at their busiest. But by implementing ShopperTrak Analytics, Johnston & Murphy was able to understand their foot traffic at the store level and plan their labor accordingly.
Enabled across all the retailer’s stores in just three months, the new foot-traffic analytics solution helped stores optimize their labor for peak traffic, enabling them to deliver better service during their busiest periods. The results? A 10% increase in conversion, substantial growth in average transaction size, and more.

RFID Delivers True Inventory Visibility for Ibiley Uniforms
Being the primary retailer of uniforms for more than 400 schools and 100,000 students is no easy task, and the seasonality of the school uniform business puts still more pressure on retailers to deliver orders in a compressed time frame. That’s why national school-uniform retailer Ibiley Uniforms turned to Sensormatic Solutions to elevate its inventory management and graduate from time-consuming manual inventory counting.
After implementing Sensormatic’s TrueVUE Cloud software — and pairing it with our powerful Source Tagging offering — Ibiley was able to reduce the time required for inventory counting from a week to just a few hours, saving up to $60,000 on the inventory process alone. Plus, they were able to increase customer satisfaction and retention by ensuring orders were delivered accurately and on time.
