Bringing the magic
of e-commerce to the
brick and mortar
While the e-commerce industry has
been on the rise, in-store customer
experience is still relevant to your
consumers. According to a study
conducted by Nielsen, 76% of shopping
decisions are made in-store, and 40% of
shoppers are likely to spend more if their
experience is positive. Knowing what
drives your customers through the door
and what leads them to a purchase can
make a world of difference in growing
the business.

In-store behavior analytics is the
foundation for a range of high-tech
solutions, including retail analytics,
building management, and other
applications. In the past, data collection
methods for physical stores have been
limited to customer count.
With this, the Retailgate has introduced
advanced techniques from the domain of
artificial intelligence which are used to
empower the brick-and-mortar stores
by providing businesses access to more
information about customer traffic and
dwell time.
Retailgate believes that technology and
retail go hand in hand. It continues to
help brick & mortar stores flourish and
be competitive with the rapidly evolving
e-commerce industry. Its mission is to
bring the magic of e-commerce to the
brick-and-mortar stores by empowering
them with technology and data-driven
insights.
