REVEAL is a software technology company participating in an extraordinary growth market that will revolutionize the way in which pedestrian related businesses such as retailers manage the “front end” of their businesses. REVEAL uses proprietary leading edge computer vision technology combined with advanced integration and analysis software tools to accurately monitor the front end of pedestrian focused businesses; an area where businesses have effectively had to operate in an information vacuum until now. This information, and the analysis provided by the REVEAL system is used to significantly improve performance.

The front end for pedestrian related businesses is the last remaining area where any significant profit improvement can be made; REVEAL provides the necessary tools.

The REVEAL system measures critical front end Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), such as the number of people who enter a store, the conversion rate and the average transaction size, and then produces relevant and timely reports and analysis. This analysis provides the framework to produce significant profit improvement through changes in staff scheduling, management and performance incentives, store layout, merchandising and marketing.

Whilst the concept of Retail Performance Management by the use of KPIs, particularly Conversion Rate, has been discussed by retailers and consultants for some time there had previously been no effective way to measure them.

Now, with the introduction of the REVEAL system, this has become possible. In addition REVEAL have provided other features and modules to make the use and analysis of these KPI’s simpler and more effective.

Even though Conversion Rate has been promoted by many retail experts as one of, if not the most, important KPI some retailers are hesitant in its use due to their lack of direct experience in its use. Furthermore, Due to the scale of the investment, some retail groups are hesitant to make this level of commitment in spite of a general acceptance of the concept and its advantages.
