Alert: Personal zur Kasse 2 rufen
Flying Blind on the Sales Floor.
POS systems only show you who bought. They don't show who left the store because the queue was too long or no advisor was available.
Lost Sales
Saturday noon: The store is packed, but staff is still on lunch break. Customers abandon their purchase.
Live Ratio Alert
When the ratio (e.g., 1 staff to 15 customers) tips, the store manager gets a push notification on their headset.
Inefficiency
Tuesday morning: 5 employees standing around because there are no customers. Labor costs without value creation.
Data-Driven Shift Planning
Historical footfall data shows exactly when and how much staff is needed. No more gut decisions.
Privacy Concerns
Camera systems for counting are unpopular with works councils and customers. Creates a feeling of surveillance.
ToF Technology
We measure anonymous depth profiles. No faces, no features – absolute privacy with 99.8% accuracy.
