How Does WiFi Location Analytics Work?

Getting started is simple and requires zero technical knowledge. A small beacon in placed within 20ft of your target area. The beacon requires consistent power and an internet connection in order to upload data into the cloud. Internet can be delivered via WiFi, Ethernet, or cellular using USB dongles. It’s recommended having several beacons distributed within your environment for an accurate representation of user flow and foot traffic. Beacon locations are then uploaded onto a floorplan of your space and the work is done!

Customers that walk past the beacons will be logged within the defined zone. If a customer stays in that zone, their dwell time will be logged. Alternatively, a customer may choose to move to another defined zone within your facility. This movement will be logged in real time and provides valuable data that can be used to improve operational efficiency and drive increases in revenues.
