Discover customers’ preferred design styles, areas they find confusing, and the products that interest them most. Boost ROI by identifying areas that require consistent staff presence and which product sections to expand or redesign.

Space Capturing

With real-time LiDAR-powered space capture, SmartMap© helps you track individual shelf-level activity. The platform captures over 250,000 images weekly, recording data and empowering better decision-making. 

From planograms to design elements and signage requirements, retail space analytics helps make the most of your space.
