Footwear brand leverages AI analytics to streamline operations and optimize the customer experience.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, USA, February 28, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Peltz Shoes, a multichannel merchant of stylish, high-quality, and comfortable footwear, today announced a strategic partnership with RetailNext, the leading analytics solution for brick-and-mortar retailers, to optimize resource management, deliver personalized customer experiences, and boost sales. Peltz Shoes is using RetailNext's revolutionary traffic solution to capture and analyze comprehensive real-time data on shopper activity across its stores, empowering managers and associates to elevate performance and drive better results at all levels.

Founded in 1957, Peltz Shoes is known for carrying a wide range of shoes in hard-to-find sizes, and for combining excellent customer service with unbeatable value. Offering more than 250,000 shoes from over 150 top brands, Peltz relies on a team of knowledgeable sales staff who work without commission to ensure that customers never feel pressured or rushed. Over the past decade, the company has modernized its operations with an expanded warehouse and new e-commerce capabilities, while continuing to prioritize its retail locations where associates help customers find the perfect fit.

That’s where RetailNext’s solutions come in: the company’s Traffic 2.0 solution uses sophisticated sensors and AI analysis to generate second-by-second foot-traffic data across Peltz’s entire retail network. Powered by RetailNext’s proprietary Aurora sensor, Traffic 2.0 uses AI and deep learning to monitor customer activity without compromising shoppers’ privacy. Managers and associates can use an intuitive dashboard to access key metrics including visit duration, unique traffic, and visit frequency, helping them troubleshoot security issues, manage resources on the fly, and exceed customer expectations for personalized experiences.

RetailNext’s real-time data also empowers store managers to use smart scheduling tools to optimize the customer experience and boost sales. Daily data on store-traffic "power hours" enable managers to optimize payroll-to-sales and labor-per-shopper ratios, and to fine-tune staffing levels — such as by adding staff during busy periods, or extending hours on certain evenings — depending on store-specific footfall data. The result: less stress for workers, less waiting in line for customers, and better results for everyone.

"Caring for our customers and our staff are core values at Peltz Shoes, and that demands a deep understanding of the unique conditions inside each of our stores," said Cadi Bierwagen, VP Customer Experience & Operations at Peltz Shoes. "Partnering with RetailNext lets us put accurate data at our managers' fingertips in real-time, empowering them to elevate customer service and support our sales associates. We’ve always paid close attention to store traffic, but now our teams can draw on real-world data to make smarter decisions across our entire network. For a company like Peltz Shoes, that’s revolutionary.”

"Peltz Shoes has a well-deserved reputation for great products and incredible customer service, and we’re delighted to be helping to level up the in-store experience and unlock the full potential of Peltz’s frontline teams,” said Sergio Gutierrez, RetailNext CRO. "Our analytics solutions give brick-and-mortar retailers the data-driven insights they need to build more efficient operations systems and create delightful experiences for shoppers — and that’s the secret to success in today’s retail environment."
