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.
