Survey for Retailers
Author: John Honovich, Published on Jan 31, 2009Manufacturer 3xLogic released results from a survey of convenience store managers. A lot of interesting datapoints included. The most interesting point is that none of the 125 convenience stores are using video analytics. I don't find this surprising. Convenient stores do not have a lot of money to spend on such offerings and the types of analytics that would provide value in their environment are more story than reality.
