ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Store operations lag far behind e-commerce when adapting to new tech. Sagi Eckhaus, CEO of iCape, explains how to turn standard CCTV into operational intelligence.
Most managers rely on guesswork to explain conversion drops or long checkout queues. We discuss how video analytics uncovers the root causes of store performance instead of just reporting past results.
Transforming physical retail takes more than plugging in software. Success demands a culture that forces rapid experimentation, absorbs failures, and builds adaptable teams capable of pushing adoption on the floor.
For brick-and-mortar operators struggling to diagnose poor store execution, this conversation provides a framework for scaling tech initiatives.
