We all know accurate data is crucial for making informed, data-driven decisions. One significant pain point for retailers and malls is the inclusion of staff in footfall analytics, leading to incorrect data. When staff members are counted alongside customers, it skews the figures, resulting in misleading insights and ineffective strategies.
The Challenge of Manual or Third-party Staff Exclusion
Traditional methods of excluding staff from footfall counts are often cumbersome and labor-intensive. These methods may include:
RFID Badges: Staff members wear RFID badges to distinguish themselves from customers. However, this requires all staff member to remember to wear and maintain their badges daily.
Uniform Recognition: Using uniforms to exclude staff relies on consistent uniform use and visibility. Any deviations or errors in uniform compliance can lead to inaccuracies.
Designated Staff Areas: Creating specific staff-only zones in the store helps, but it’s impractical for staff who need to move throughout the store to perform their duties.
Staff Pre-Registration: Registering staff before their shifts involves administrative overhead and leaves room for errors if staff movements change unexpectedly.
These manual methods can be tedious, error-prone, and inefficient, making it difficult for businesses to maintain accurate footfall data.
