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.

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

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.
