Platform
Insights
Every store change is a bet until you test it. RetailNext Insights lets you pilot a new layout, display, or merchandising concept in a handful of stores, see exactly how shoppers respond, and validate the results before you commit to a fleet-wide rollout. It's how merchandising and store design teams trade guesswork for evidence, and prove ROI before they scale.
Retail Intelligence That Drives What’s Next
Insights goes beyond traffic counting to map the complete customer journey — revealing which zones engage, which layouts convert, and where shoppers disengage before they reach the register.
Adaptive Retail Strategies That Evolve With Your Business
Test concepts in pilot stores, compare against control locations, and scale what works. Insights gives you the data to iterate quickly and invest confidently.
Real-Time Data for Strategic Decision Making
Replace guesswork with validated behavioral data. Every layout change, fixture investment, and planogram decision can be measured, proven, and replicated at scale.
See What’s Really Happening ON YOUR SHOP FLOOR.
Heat mapping, dwell time analysis, and full customer journey visualization: everything your teams need to see what's working, test what might work better, and prove it before you scale.
Built for the decisions that SHAPE YOUR STORES.
Insights gives your merchandising, store design, and customer experience teams a way to test decisions before they scale, and the data to measure impact once they do.
Pilot It. Prove It. Then Scale It.
This is how retailers actually use Insights: launch a new layout, fixture, or merchandising concept in a handful of pilot stores, and measure shopper behavior against a set of control stores running business as usual. When the data shows a lift, you scale with confidence. When it doesn't, you've saved the cost of a fleet-wide rollout that wouldn't have worked.
- Launch a new layout, display, or merchandising concept in a small set of pilot stores
- Track shopper dwell, engagement, and path data against control stores running business as usual
- Get statistically meaningful results before touching a single other location
- Scale, adjust, or shelve the concept based on evidence, not opinion
Turn Store Data Into a Business Case.
Once a pilot proves out, Insights gives your team the numbers to take it to leadership: the correlation between what changed on the shop floor and what happened to conversion, dwell, and sales. Every layout, fixture, and merchandising investment gets measured, not guessed at.
- Measure the impact of layout changes, fixture investments, and planogram updates
- Correlate behavioral data with sales performance for zone-level conversion attribution
- Demonstrate ROI on store design and merchandising investments with before/after comparisons
- Share findings across your organization to build a culture of data-driven decision making
Know What’s Working on the Shop Floor.
Intuition has driven merchandising decisions for too long. Insights lets your team see exactly how shoppers interact with displays, fixtures, and product placements, so you can optimize based on evidence, not assumption.
- Measure dwell time and engagement with specific displays and product zones
- Identify which fixtures drive interaction and which are being ignored
- Optimize product placement based on actual shopper behavior
- Validate promotional fixture performance before scaling fleet-wide
Design Stores That Actually Work for Shoppers.
Every store layout decision has a cost. Insights lets you visualize how shoppers navigate your space, identify friction points and dead zones, and validate layout changes in pilot stores before committing to expensive fleet-wide renovations.
- Full path analytics to visualize the complete customer journey from entrance to exit
- Identify high-conversion zones, dead areas, and navigation friction points
- A/B test layout changes in pilot stores against control locations
- Measure pre- and post-renovation performance to quantify ROI on design investments
Test the Experience, Not Just the Traffic.
Traffic counts tell you how many people came in. Insights tells you what their visit actually felt like: where they moved with purpose, where they slowed down or backtracked, and where the experience broke down entirely. That makes it possible to pilot a service change, a new queue setup, or a different store flow in a handful of locations, and see the effect on real shopper behavior before you commit to it everywhere.
- See where shoppers hesitate, backtrack, or disengage before reaching a staff member or the register, moments a simple traffic count can't show
- Pilot changes to queuing, wayfinding, staffing zones, or service flow in a handful of stores before a fleet-wide rollout
- Measure the experience by what shoppers actually do in your space, not just satisfaction scores or dwell time alone
- Compare pilot stores against control locations to prove the experience change actually worked

Common Questions
About the product
-
What is Full Path Analytics and what does it show?
Full Path Analytics maps the complete journey each shopper takes through your store — entrance to exit — identifying individual paths and differentiating shoppers from staff. It shows which routes shoppers take, which zones and displays they engage with, and how long they dwell, so you can see the behavior behind your performance metrics.
-
How does Insights differ from Traffic Analytics?
Traffic Analytics tells you how many people enter and convert; Insights tells you what they do inside the store — mapping full shopper journeys, heat-mapping where they dwell and engage, and revealing how layout, fixtures, and merchandising influence behavior. Traffic Analytics measures the outcome; Insights explains the behavior driving it.
-
How does the test-and-learn process actually work?
You launch a new layout, fixture, or merchandising concept in a small set of pilot stores, and Insights measures shopper dwell, engagement, and path data there against a set of control stores running business as usual. Once the pilot shows a statistically meaningful result, you have the evidence to scale the concept fleet-wide, adjust it, or set it aside, before committing your full budget to it.
About buying and implementing
-
How does Insights integrate with our sales and POS data?
Insights correlates behavioral data — journeys, dwell, and zone engagement — with your sales and POS data, enabling zone-level conversion attribution and before/after measurement of layout and merchandising changes. It connects to POS, workforce management, and other systems through the RetailNext platform.
-
How does RetailNext handle customer privacy and GDPR compliance?
Insights measures shopper behavior at an aggregate level — journeys, dwell, and zone engagement — to understand how stores perform without identifying individual shoppers, supporting privacy-compliant deployment across global markets including GDPR regions.
-
What kind of ROI can retailers expect from Insights?
Insights lets you validate merchandising and store-design changes in pilot stores before fleet-wide rollout, then correlate those changes with sales outcomes to prove ROI. Retailers using RetailNext have seen results such as a 40% increase in shopper yield (Boggi Milano) and 30% savings in marketing spend and labor hours (Camper).
