RetailNext

The company operates a hardware-enabled SaaS model focused on physical retail and venue analytics. It designs and supplies its own sensors for traffic and journey analysis while also integrating with retailers’ existing IP and analogue cameras. These devices connect to a secure cloud infrastructure where data are processed into standardised metrics (traffic, occupancy, shopper journeys, video evidence, merchandising imagery) and exposed through web and mobile applications, dashboards and APIs. This creates value by turning in-store activity into quantifiable data used by operations, merchandising, security and analytics teams to optimise staffing, layouts, marketing, compliance and loss prevention. The firm scales via enterprise and channel-led deployments, positioning itself as an end-to-end platform (hardware, cloud and applications) with recurring subscription revenue and long-term customer relationships.

RetailNext is a United States–based retail analytics company that provides hardware-enabled, cloud-delivered software for physical store performance measurement. Its platform combines in-store sensors and existing cameras with a secure cloud back end and web/mobile applications to measure traffic, shopper journeys, occupancy, video security and visual merchandising compliance. The company primarily serves multi-store and enterprise retailers, shopping centres and similar venue operators that want e‑commerce‑style metrics for physical locations.

Revenue comes from recurring subscriptions tied to deployed sensors and connected devices, with additional income from hardware provision, professional services and reseller-driven implementations. Customers use the platform to understand footfall, conversion, capacity, store layout effectiveness, merchandising compliance and loss prevention, integrating these data via APIs into internal BI systems and operations workflows.
