Announcement illustrates advantage over video based systems

Austin Reed has installed visitor analytics at its newly opened flagship store on London’s busy Regent Street, to help the luxury high street retailer deliver its vision for a customer-led service.

Reflexis Systems Inc., a leading provider of retail workforce/task management solutions, and Irisys, the global leader in people counting and real-time checkout line management solutions, today announced a partnership that maximizes their complementary expertise in retail workforce management and customer analytics. Data collected from Irisys’ people counting solutions will now integrate into Reflexis’ Adaptive Real-Time Execution Platform, which uses that information to assign tasks, reallocate labor, and send best-practice-based, actionable messages to specific employees. It also enables retailers to gather and consolidate key performance indicators and trends and assign corrective tasks in response to metrics-based alerts.

ATLANTA (Oct. 26, 2011) – Irisys, the global leader in people counting and real-time checkout line management solutions, continues to invest in its North America operations with the hire of its 100th employee.

London (Oct. 14, 2011) – Medical ethical approval has been granted to a test programme designed to cut healthcare-associated infections across the NHS. Testing is now under way at a London NHS Trust. NHS figures show that about nine per cent of patients actually acquire infections during a hospital stay. This costs the Health Service around £1billion annually – money that could be saved by something as simple as regular hand washing.

27 July 2011: Market leading consumer behaviour analyst, Experian FootFall, has today announced that it has signed a deal to provide Italian beachwear, hosiery and lingerie giant, Calzedonia Group, with its advanced people counting service.

The appointment follows a rigorous selection process in which a number of competing systems, including Experian Footfall, were installed in three branches of Calzedonia. During the trial the company’s existing customer counting technology was also in place, enabling the business to make a clear like-for-like comparison.

Experian FootFall was the most accurate in counting, service and technology knowledge. As a result, the system was installed in Calzedonia’s flagship store in Verona, as well as a further 34 branches throughout Italy. Once in place the technology was again put through its paces to see how it would respond to different store layouts and customer behavior. The success of this exercise resulted in Experian Footfall supplying a further 540 stores in Italy, a pre order for 900 additional branches and an agreement to supply all of Calzedonia’s 2,500 European stores.

Calzedonia explained: “Customer counting is an integral part of our KPI strategy. We have invested considerable time and energy in identifying a partner with the right combination of technology, consultancy and international reach, whose product can be fully customised and integrated with our existing systems”.

“Experian FootFall’s software transmits data to the checkout in real time enabling the store manager to monitor conversion rates and other important KPI instantaneously. In addition, every evening the day’s trading information is relayed back to head office for analysis. This enables us to have a constant picture of how the business is performing and where changes need to be made.”

An integral part of the enabling technology will be delivered by Irisys passive infrared sensors, which are at the heart of customer flow intelligence systems currently installed in many thousands of shops, supermarkets, shopping malls, transport hubs, theatres and museums around the world.

London (Apr. 21, 2011) – Irisys, the global leader in infrared solutions, has won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2011. It is the highest official UK award for British businesses. The company was selected in the International Trade category because of its outstanding export achievements.
