The Control Tower of Retail

Imagine seeing how all your stores are performing — right now — from one dashboard.

That’s the daily reality for retail operations leaders in Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia using Skywave’s AI-powered footfall system.

From managing peak hours to evaluating promotions on the fly, real-time data is no longer a luxury. It’s the heartbeat of modern retail execution.

What Does a Retail Control Tower Look Like?

Think of it as your command center. Skywave delivers real-time dashboards and mobile-friendly reports that give ops leaders instant visibility into:

📊 Live entry counts per store

⏱️ Average dwell time by zone or store

📈 Daily trends, anomalies, and performance breakdowns

Metrics That Matter (And How Retail Ops Use Them)

1. Entry Count: Who’s walking in, and when?
Use this to optimize staff rosters, reduce queue times, and predict demand spikes.

2. Dwell Time: Are customers engaging long enough?
Track how long visitors stay and whether promotions or visual merchandising are working.

3. Conversion Ratio: Traffic vs. Transactions
Layer Skywave’s people count data with POS results to uncover where and why performance varies.

4. Heatmaps: Are customers navigating as planned?
Fine-tune layouts based on foot traffic patterns, especially in flagship stores or high-value zones.

5. Customer Profiling: Who’s shopping, really?

Use demographic insights to tailor marketing, refine product mix, and attract high-value shoppers. Drive growth with data-backed decisions.
