Ever watched a customer play an unintentional game of “Where’s Waldo?” with your product aisles? Or witnessed the classic “I just need milk but ended up in the garden section” phenomenon? Well, grab your virtual hard hat – we’re about to renovate retail!

At Braingine, we’ve seen some truly entertaining store layouts. My personal favorite? A store that accidentally created what we lovingly called “The Bermuda Triangle” – where customers entered looking for socks and emerged 20 minutes later with a lawn flamingo and zero socks. 🦩
Let’s talk about what our AI actually sees (spoiler: it’s better than your ex’s interior design ideas):
📍 Traffic Flow Analysis:
Hot Zones: Where customers actually want to be
Dead Zones: Where tumbleweeds would grow if you had them
The “Why Is This Here?” Zones: Self-explanatory 😅

Real Numbers That Made Us Go “Wow”:

• 42% reduction in customer confusion (measured in reduced head-scratching)
• 31% increase in impulse purchases (sorry, not sorry to your wallets)
• 27% decrease in “Where’s the bathroom?” questions
• 100% decrease in customers doing the “lost shopper shuffle”

Fun Findings From Our AI:

• The “Golden Path” isn’t just a fantasy novel plot – it’s where 80% of your sales happen
• End caps are like retail real estate’s beachfront property
• Customers always, ALWAYS turn right (unless they’re looking for trouble)

Success Story: One retailer discovered their “clever” zigzag layout was creating more cardio than sales. After our AI optimization:

• Customer journey time: From “Is this a maze?” to “That was quick!”
• Sales velocity: Up 23% (turns out frustrated customers buy less – who knew?)
• Staff steps: Down 31% (their Fitbits were disappointed)
