Owndays

 

Established since 1989, our client is an optical retail chain which moved away from the conventional way of charging the frame and lens separately to an all-in-one price set. Our client has multiple retail stores in Singapore and provides in-house handmade frames in a myriad of styles.

CHALLENGES

To keep up with changing tastes in Singapore where shoppers can be fickle, our client wanted to:

  • Form clear customer segments to plan eyewear styles and assortment for each store
  • Know the product interaction rate with each product category
  • Know the Retail Conversion for each store

SOLUTIONS

AVer's Video-Analytics-as-a-Service (“VAaaS”) was chosen and due to aesthetic reasons, black hardware were installed for better camouflage. Besides meeting their requirements, AVer offered other features such as live view streaming & weekly email summary.
