Prosperous retail environments need to understand the way crowds use their spaces. Pedestrian numbers, flow, and spatial distribution mean the difference between retailing success and failure. Accurate and timely data is essential.
Computer modeling techniques are valuable in simulating and predicting how crowds move around a site. But reality rarely conforms to predictions and there is no such a thing as a 'typical day'. Shop sales, promotions, special events, transport disruptions, the weather and many other variables affect both the numbers and distribution of the retail crowd. And in complex urban settings - such as city centre shopping streets - the demands of other stakeholders (police, transport operators, businesses, tourists, local authorities) impose other constraints.
Crowd Vision offers instantaneous 'real time' analysis of the crowd. Models can be compared against accurate live data, and management interventions can be driven by the precise distribution of customers. Events are more effective, promotions become more powerful, ROI becomes more transparent. Instantly. To find out more about how Crowd Vision can deliver the future of live retail analysis, contact us.
