SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, USA, January 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — RetailNext Inc, the worldwide market leader in IoT smart store analytics for optimizing shopper experiences at brick-and-mortar retail stores, continues to experience global growth in the adoption of its in-store analytics as more brands seek accurate and reliable data to unpack shopper behaviors that drive profitability. At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, RetailNext noted an increasing number of retailers standardizing traffic as a key metric to create safer shopping experiences. This upward trend has continued, with more retailers now also using the platform to reveal new opportunities about how to enhance in-person experiences for customers fatigued by the pandemic. 

DECIEM, which is an umbrella of good beauty brands like NIOD, Hylamide, and The Ordinary, recently selected RetailNext to measure and analyze customer engagement with its products in brick-and-mortar stores, in order to optimize product performance. 

“Our partnership with RetailNext will help us to offer the same offline experience in-store, critical to our customer’s exploration journey at DECIEM.

As an abnormal retail business, RetailNext has been efficient, organized, and understanding of our needs”.

Within the luxury retail and distribution market, The AlMalki Group recently joined the RetailNext global customer base to increase the performance and sales of over 100 international brands it manages in the Middle East. 

“As an expert in brand development in the luxury retail and distribution market for over 65 years, our client’s success is at the core of what we do. We are excited to introduce the RetailNext platform to augment our capabilities in helping over 100 international brands grow their market share in the Middle East”, said Ziad AlMalki, Chief Operating Officer at The AlMalki Group. 

RetailNext has also seen tremendous growth in the adoption of traffic metrics among direct-to-consumer brands that are expanding their presence by establishing physical store locations. Among them is Ritual, a personal health brand that has pioneered a new standard of high-quality products backed by real science and Made Traceable with the first visible supply chain of its kind. 

“We are excited to partner with RetailNext as we grow our analytic capabilities and continue to leverage as robust a data set as possible to optimize the unique in-store customer experiences we create for our customers.
