VideoMining (VM) has been at the forefront of Shopper Science for over a decade, leveraging advanced sensing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help study and track in-store shopper behavior.
The company currently has active in-store panels across grocery and convenience stores, with full store coverage and custom installs, each of which includes a full network of up to 125 IoT data-capture devices.
Capturing Big Data on in-store behavior
VM’s patented OmniSensR technology combines the strengths of video, WiFi, and Beacon in an IoT architecture to generate Big Data on in-store behavior, powering a wide range of store applications.
Data Extraction and Transformation
Using proprietary trained algorithms, specific shopper data and actions including at-shelf behavior, storewide tracking, demographics, etc. are recorded and measured across the entire path-to-purchase. Aggregating this data over millions of shopping trips reveal storewide traffic patterns and engagement through heat maps.
Intelligent Data Integration
VM integrates the shopper behavior data with other retail data including Point of Sale (POS) basket data, in-store and online surveys, and crucial contextual information like store layouts, planograms, and product mappings to provide a full 360-degree view into the shopper’s journey.
