Improve Sales Conversion
Create a sales target, monitor the progress, and review the results. From the sales target workspace module, you will be able to analyse the unique profiling of each store and make customised responses, to improve your sales revenue.
Measure Marketing Effectiveness
Track the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and identify bottlenecks while continuously optimising campaigns across every channel. Make smarter decisions about where to invest in marketing for the best return on your investment.
Staff Exclusion with Colored Tag
No more special lanyards or expensive staff tags needed: Staff are excluded from counting automatically through the image recognition of colored tags. Present the sales conversion rate with confidence to store managers, ensuring that visitor traffic does not include staff, children, trolleys or hovering passers-by. With the latest AI recognition built-in, any staff wearing a regular lanyard with FootfallCam Staff Exclusion Tag will be excluded from the counting automatically (as seen in the video).
