Indoor Retail Operations — Floor, Customer Experience and Compliance
Inside the store, Fogsphere turns every camera into a co-pilot for safety, security, loss prevention and store operations — from the entrance to the back office, with privacy-by-design.
What an indoor store floor looks like to Fogsphere
A live operations layer on top of your existing CCTV
Behavioural detection for slip-and-fall and concealment; staffing analytics for queues, conversions and shelf availability; PPE and food-safety compliance for back-of-house. The Fogsphere platform delivers it from the same edge stack, with GDPR-compliant analytics and auditable evidence trails.
