Marketing Applications Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tsukasa Takenaka) will hold a free online briefing session for "Retail Tracker," a service that visualizes store conditions at low cost and high speed using a nationwide monitor network, on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, from 2:00 PM.

Background of the Webinar

In the retail industry, where consumer choices are expanding and competition on the sales floor is intensifying, accurately grasping the "current situation on the sales floor" that changes by area, store, and time of day is extremely important for the marketing and sales strategies of consumer goods manufacturers.

However, traditional surveys conducted by rounders (in-store巡回員) have faced challenges such as "high cost," "long reporting time," and "difficulty in conducting surveys on a sufficient scale."

Therefore, we have launched a new service, "Retail Tracker," which visualizes sales floor conditions for up to approximately 3,000 stores nationwide in as little as 3 days by utilizing our nationwide monitor network. This webinar will provide a concise 45-minute explanation of the service's overview and features, as well as actual use cases and implementation processes.

Features of the Sales Floor Visualization Service "Retail Tracker"

"Retail Tracker" is a service that clears the challenges of traditional rounder surveys and enables low-cost, high-frequency understanding of in-store conditions.

Speedy response in as little as 3 days: Rapidly visualizes rapidly changing in-store conditions without time lag.

Supports up to approximately 3,000 stores: Supports nationwide deployment and allows for bulk acquisition of wide-ranging data.

Low cost, approximately 1/10 of traditional rounders: Significantly reduces costs, enabling high-frequency regular operations.

Simultaneous acquisition of consumer's true feelings through "In-Store Surveys": By combining shelf photography with survey research on actual shoppers, it is possible to grasp real purchasing psychology (shopper insights) such as "why a product was chosen" and "how promotional materials were perceived."
