Retail businesses looking to push targeted messages to their consumers often need to collect data from shoppers’ prior store engagements. Without the proper tools, building an effective engagement plan can be cumbersome.
Cloud4Wi introduced Wi-Fi engagement platform Fogsense, enabling retailers to leverage their network to monitor presence analytics and provide location-based services. Fogsense is a plug-and-play USB device that collects customer foot traffic data, to help retailers discover real-time and historical in-store trends. In turn, the device integrates with the cloud-based Cloud4Wi platform to analyze these trends and improve customer engagement and venue efficiency.
