Computer Vision Use Cases in Retail
Customer Occupancy Counting and Foot Traffic
Problem
Retailers don’t have an accurate count of customers in their stores or what products and services they’re engaged with. This lack of information can lead to missed revenue opportunities and negatively impact customer experience.
Solution
Accurately count customers, track foot traffic, and monitor pick ups and put backs to see what products customers engage with, better manage product placement and optimize staffing decisions.
Speed of Service at Checkouts
Problem
86% of retail customers have left a store due to long wait times. Retailers are losing $38 billion in sales due to line abandoners. Don’t be one of them.
Solution
Computer vision can track and monitor patrons in lines at checkout (in real-time) and send immediate alerts when wait times pass a certain threshold or if lines get too long.
Drive-thru Vehicle ID, Counting, & Analysis
Problem
With 70% of revenue coming from drive-thru service, it’s critical for QSRs to fulfill orders quickly, correctly, and safely. Stand out from the competition by improving these processes.
Solution
Computer vision provides real-time vehicle ID and tracking to optimize drive-thru speed of service, traffic patterns and order fulfillment. Get immediate alerts when lines get too long to reduce wait times.
Frictionless Checkout
Problem
The frictionless checkout market is exploding, but building and training computer vision models to accurately recognize products is neither quick nor easy.
