In-Store Analytics from Bosch CCTV Camera, effective solution for retailers and wholesalers to increase their sales
Whether a store visitor becomes a buyer depends on various aspects of their shopping experience. This solution from Bosch Security and Safety Systems provides valuable information to optimize your experience, satisfy customers and increase sales.
A “moment of truth” in marketing refers to one or more of the steps in the purchase process that are decisive for the customer to complete or abandon a commercial transaction.
Many of these moments of truth are related to the attention received and the customer’s experience in their contact with salespeople or advisors.
For example, if a potential buyer goes to the technology area of a department store with the express intention of acquiring a new cell phone but does not yet know which of them is a better option, they will expect to find, as soon as they arrive, a capable advisor to guide you through the purchase process; If the service does not arrive soon, it is very possible that the client decides to abandon the process in this store and go to another where they are promptly and adequately advised.

The availability of vendors or advisers at the points of sale is not always under the control of the managers of a store, as they often do not have enough information to know which points and on what days and hours more sales personnel are required or customer service, or when a potential customer is unattended due to being on a low-traffic schedule in which it is considered that it is not necessary to have someone in charge of sales at a certain point.
To address these needs, Bosch Security and Safety Systems has developed its solution In Store Analytics, the primary objective of which is to optimize the purchasing process in these “moments of truth”, with positive consequences for both sellers and end users.
