In a grocery store Shoppermotion tags trolleys and baskets, not people: no cameras and no personal data. Each anonymous path is matched with its checkout receipt.

Shoppermotion (legal entity: Proximus Analytics S.L.U.) is an in-store analytics company. Bluetooth tags on trolleys and baskets are located by ceiling antennas using Angle of Arrival (AoA) positioning with sub-metre precision. Each anonymous shopper path is matched with its checkout ticket, which enables:

- A physical conversion funnel per category, bay and SKU: traffic → visual contact (< 45 cm/s) → engaged (< 25 cm/s) → buyer.
- Verified in-store media metrics for screens, end caps, pallets and flyers: impressions, views and "clicks" (visits to the promoted category), plus closed-loop sales attribution.
- Store flow, dwell, journey phases, shopping missions and basket affinities.

Data is delivered through Shoppermotion AI (web platform for category, retail media and operations teams, with AI weekly briefs, per-category AI action plans and a conversational assistant grounded in the store's trips and receipts), periodic reports and a REST API compatible with Power BI and Tableau. The same AoA RTLS is offered for asset tracking outside retail (REST API and MQTT).

Customers include retailers and brands such as Carrefour, Ahold Delhaize, Food Lion, Hannaford, SPAR, Coca-Cola and Unilever, across more than 30 countries.

## Security and privacy

In stores, Shoppermotion tags trolleys and baskets, not people: no cameras, no apps and no personal data in the analytics. In shopping malls, where visitors don't use trolleys, traffic is measured with cameras or presence sensors. Data is GDPR compliant, encrypted in transit and at rest, and platform data is hosted in the European Union. Details: https://shoppermotion.com/security/

## Industries

- [Grocery retailers](https://shoppermotion.com/industries/grocery/): In grocery, margin is won or lost on the shop floor. Shoppermotion measures how shoppers and staff move through each store, so you can recover the minutes lost to interrupted tasks, cleaning by rota and slow replenishment, and put them where they sell.
- [CPG brands](https://shoppermotion.com/industries/cpg-brands/): Traditional shopper studies are manual: a few days of observation in a few stores, a report, and months without data. Shoppermotion measures your categories in store every day of the year, so you can follow your KPIs and see how TV, digital and in-store activations change traffic and behaviour at the shelf.
- [Retail Media Networks](https://shoppermotion.com/industries/retail-media-networks/): Your RMN already sells onsite and offsite media with digital metrics. Shoppermotion adds the in-store layer: how many screens you need and where, what each placement delivers, and closed-loop reports your brands can put next to the rest of their media plan.
- [Shopping malls](https://shoppermotion.com/industries/shopping-malls/): With cameras or presence sensors at the entrances and in each zone, Shoppermotion counts footfall and follows anonymous movement between the hypermarket, the food court, the rest areas and the tenants.

- [DIY and electronics](https://shoppermotion.com/industries/diy-electronics/): Shoppermotion records the full path of every trolley and basket in your big box, from the entrance to the till, and matches it with the ticket. Measure traffic, dwell and conversion department by department.

## FAQ

### What does Shoppermotion do?

Shoppermotion is an in-store analytics platform. It records the full path of every shopper through a physical store, from the entrance to the till, and matches each path with its receipt. Retailers, brands and Retail Media Networks use it to measure conversion at the shelf, verify in-store media exposure and attribute sales to offline campaigns.

### How are shopper paths captured?

Small Bluetooth tags on trolleys and baskets are located by antennas on the ceiling using Angle of Arrival (AoA) positioning, with sub-metre precision. There are no cameras, no apps to install and no personal data involved.

### Is it privacy-friendly and GDPR compliant?

Yes. Shoppermotion tracks shopping tools, not people, so every trip is anonymous by design. Data is encrypted and processed in line with GDPR.

### What is offline attribution for Retail Media?

Offline attribution connects exposure to in-store media (screens, end caps, flyers, pallets) with what shoppers actually buy. Because every path is matched with its ticket, Shoppermotion reports verified impressions, views and visits to the promoted category, and the sales lift they generate.

### How long does deployment take?

A store is usually live within hours, with only minor works. The hardware does not interfere with existing electrical or network installations.

### How do teams access the data?

In three ways. Shoppermotion AI is our analytics platform for category, media and operations teams, with an AI assistant that answers questions in plain language. Periodic reports reach each stakeholder. And a REST API connects out of the box with BI tools such as Microsoft Power BI and Tableau.

### Can the positioning technology be used outside retail?

Yes. The same Angle of Arrival RTLS locates any asset or wearable in real time for manufacturing, logistics, warehouses and events, with data available via REST API or MQTT.
