Ginza Six, a 500,000-square-foot retail complex in Tokyo, Japan opening April 20, 2017, has installed StepInside, an indoor positioning system (IPS) from Senion.
StepInside is designed to help shoppers navigate the massive facility using their smartphones by showing them the shortest route to their destination. Ginza Six expects more than 20 million people to visit the retail complex each year, including many tourists who are likely to be unfamiliar with the facility.
Building management will use the data from StepInside to further understand shopper behavior and traffic flow analytics. Ginza Six will feature 241 brands including flagship luxury stores and restaurants.
