One of the world’s largest sporting goods retailers with 1500+ stores across more than 45 countries needed its decision-making to be flexible and responsive to retain its leadership position. To be able to do this, it needed real-time analytics of store visitors, which is typically run using footfall data. However, the client wanted to link footfall data with POS data to improve store performance effectively and increase overall customer satisfaction.
After evaluating several vendors, the company chose Indium Software to implement a cognitive analytics solution leveraging computer vision to achieve its goal. Indium enabled this by using the existing security cameras:
The data collected from these cameras was used to analyze customer behavior at specific zones within the store. This was done by building comprehensive dashboards with real-time data refresh.

Indium built a neural network model by training various classes of the object or person, using 2000+ images for image processing and video analytics with maximum accuracy. By creating and testing annotations using sample videos, it was able to constantly improve the accuracy (over time, accuracy went up to 80%). Within the data points that were gathered, outliers were identified.
Since the visitor statistics was linked to the POS systems, they were able to track the conversion rate, improve product placement and implement cross-selling tactics. The solution had an easy-to-use interface that provided all stakeholders with better insight into customers’ behavior as well as shelf zone analysis.
As a result, the retailer was able to experience a 15% increase in customer satisfaction.
According a report published by MarketsAndMarkets, the broader market for computer vision-enabled solutions is expected to grow from USD 15.9 billion in 2021 to USD 51.3 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 26.3%. Of course, this includes the use of computer vision for factory inspections, audits, quality and safety management, etc.
Computer Vision, simply put, refers to enabling computers to identify and process objects in images and videos the way a human brain does. It helps computers to “see and understand” content in photographs and videos. By integrating AI capabilities to computer vision, we’re now able to conduct analytics on data from images and videos.
Today, it can be used to identify an item with 99% accuracy as against 50 percent a decade ago.
