Customer Counting to improve business performance 

It is a must nowadays for retailers to have an adequate customer counting technology system. Having this will allow to optimise customer experience and, therefore, beat the competition. Measuring customer traffic is the best solution to collect factual data. By investing in a customer counting system from PFM Footfall Intelligence, you gather important customer data. The customer data will be analysed to improve business and store performance. The collected data will allow you to make informed decisions based on reliable data related to staff optimisation, product portfolio and customer service. This, consequently, will boost conversion rates and overall store performance. 

Smart decision making is all about applying the insights gained from analysing customer data. 
And that is exactly what we do here at PFM. 

Customer data offers many valuable insights

The significance of customer counting   

In today’s competitive environment retailers that don’t measure customers are falling short. Customer traffic is a valid measure of a store’s marketing and performance. By analysing the gap between the number of people entering a store and the actual purchases made, it is possible to analyse the customer journey and find explanations for the lack of transactions. Make sure you do not fall behind and start using this must-have tool to use in both operational and strategic decisions. 

PFM Footfall Intelligence data analysis, perception & forecasting  

At PFM we concentrate not only on the collection of customer data, but also on converting this data into valuable insights.  The data is presented in logical and easy to read reports to understand exactly what is going on at the location. These reports are the basis of all data-driven decisions. On top of that, we also forecast what can be expected to happen in terms of visitor numbers on a day to day basis, with an accuracy of 80-95%.

From entrance to exit - the insights      

Counting customers means measuring the following elements:

· How many people actually come in and leave the store 
· What is the busiest time across the year
· What is the conversion rate of the store
· How long do customers tend to hang around in the shop
· Is this customer a returning customer
