Store chains and showrooms.
People walk in, look around and leave without buying.
Where we would start: Footfall and conversion view. Cameras count walk-ins by store and hour and match them to bills, so you see where and when people leave without buying and staff the floor for the rush. Faces are never stored.

Your week, as it runs today.
Five moments from a typical week.
-
01
Saturday: 400 walk-ins across six stores, and nobody knows why only one in five bought.
-
02
The size a customer wants is in another store, and nobody can check quickly.
-
03
The billing queue runs to fifteen minutes at 7 pm, and two families walk out.
-
04
Half the floor staff joined this season and don't know the new range.
-
05
Regulars message the store manager's phone to order, and the orders get lost.
What it costs.
Our own sumPeople walk in, look around and leave without buying.
And the rest of the week
-
Our own sum
The size the customer wants is in another store, and we lose the sale.
Losing five Rs 2,500 sales a day to stock that sat in another store is about Rs 45 lakh a year for each store.
-
Our own sum
The billing queue at peak hours sends people out of the door.
Two families a day walking out of a queue with Rs 4,000 of shopping is about Rs 29 lakh a year for one store.
-
Our own sum
Staff change every season, and the new ones don't know the range.
A new salesperson who sells 20% less for three months on Rs 3 lakh of monthly sales costs Rs 1.8 lakh of sales each.
-
A study, 2011
Regulars message the store manager to order, and the orders get lost.
Firms that followed up an online enquiry within an hour were nearly 7 times as likely to reach a decision maker as firms that waited even an hour longer. The average reply took 42 hours (Harvard Business Review, 2011, an audit of 2,241 US companies).
-
A study, 2014
Discounts go out to everyone, and the regulars still drift away.
Bain research found that raising customer retention by 5% lifts profits by 25% to 95%, and winning a new customer costs 5 to 25 times as much as keeping one (Harvard Business Review, 2014).
Ten systems for store chains and showrooms, under the six offers.
We plan the whole company, then build the first three. The usual first build here is marked, and the window beside the cards shows the one you are reading.
Get the work doneEverything comes to you. Most of it shouldn't.

The same week, with them running.

An example week. It shows how the work changes, never a measured result from a client.

The nearest work we have built.
Each piece names the kind of company it was built for. None of them is in your trade yet, and we say so. Ask to see it running.

Who decides.
The owner or managing director of the chain, with the head of retail operations or the head of buying.
Why this time is different.
AI that was bought and changed nothing.
A tool was bought and nobody owned the job. We take the whole job, test it on your past work, and stay to run it.
What store owners ask first.
Who says yes before anything goes out?
The person who owns that job at your company today. You name them when we write the rules with you. Inside those rules the agent acts at once. Anything outside them waits for one tap from the person named, on their phone, ready to approve or to change.
Do we have to change the software we use?
No. We build around the systems you already run, in accounts in your company's name, and we confirm each one before we start.
What does it cost?
There is no price on this page, because it depends on the work. After the session you get a written proposal with the scope, the test it has to pass, who works on it and one fixed price, before any work.
Everything comes to you. Most of it shouldn't.
Routine decisions follow your rules. What still needs you arrives on your phone as one tap, with the facts attached.
What changes. Nothing is typed twice, nobody asks where a job is, and routine decisions follow your rules.
What we measure, before and after. Orders typed by hand in a day, decisions reaching the owner in a week and hours spent chasing.
The old way keeps running until the new one has passed on your own work.
What costs your stores most? Bring us that.
45 minutes on a video call with our founder and the people who live with the problem. Nothing to sign. You leave knowing what we would build first, and why.
