The Challenge
The core challenge facing Samsøe Samsøe was to achieve an accurate customer count and demographic profiling within their stores. The traditional methods were not only cumbersome, involving multiple cameras, but also failed to deliver the depth of insight required for effective decision-making, leading to a disproportionate approach to inventory based on flawed gender ratio assumptions.

Key Features That Sealed the Deal:
- Individual Customer Identification: EVERYANGLE’s AI effectively distinguished individual customers, addressing the critical issue of duplicate counts.
- Multifunctional Single Camera: The system required just one camera to perform both surveillance and people counting functions, a significant improvement over traditional methods.
- Demographic Intelligence: The tool’s ability to discern customer demographics, including gender and age, was vital for tailored marketing and product strategies.
Transformative Effects on Various Departments

- Marketing Strategy: The detailed demographic insights allowed the marketing department to target their efforts more effectively across different social media platforms, optimizing their strategy based on solid data.
