Frequently asked questions

How do retail heatmaps work?
Heatmaps are visual representations of where visitors spend time in your space, displayed as color overlays on your floor plan: red for high-traffic and high-dwell zones, blue for low-activity areas. Flame generates heatmaps from existing cameras using AI that tracks anonymous movement density and duration without identifying individuals. Key insights include: which displays attract most attention, where natural congregation points form, which areas get skipped, and how traffic patterns change between weekdays and weekends. Heatmaps are generated hourly and can be compared across time periods. A leading furniture retailer uses heatmaps to validate their guided store path design, while other physical spaces apply them to optimize visitor flow.
What is dwell time and why does it matter?
Dwell time measures how long visitors spend in a specific zone or across your entire space. It is a critical engagement indicator: longer dwell time in a physical space correlates with deeper visitor engagement, while prolonged dwell time near checkouts or service counters indicates queuing problems. Flame measures dwell time anonymously using AI silhouette tracking: no individual is identified, but aggregate statistics reveal the average, median and distribution of time per zone. Physical spaces evaluate visitor engagement (45 seconds in one area vs. 3 minutes in another tells a story), shopping malls assess common area efficiency, and retailers measure display stickiness.
How does cross-camera tracking work without biometrics?
Flame's cross-camera tracking follows anonymous visitor journeys across multiple camera zones without ever using facial recognition or biometric identification. The technology works by matching anonymous silhouette between overlapping camera fields of view. These signatures are temporary, existing only during an individual visit and discarded immediately after. No persistent profile is ever created. This approach enables complete visitor journey mapping (Visitor entered via North entrance, spent 4 minutes in Zone A, 8 minutes in the shop area, exited West) while maintaining full GDPR compliance. The system is ISO 27001 certified and works identically across physical spaces, shopping malls and retail stores.
What is behavioral segmentation in physical spaces?
Behavioral segmentation groups visitors into anonymous categories based on their in-space behavior, without identifying who they are. Flame's analytics distinguishes behavior types: explorers (long dwell time, many zones, no purchase), mission visitors (direct path to one zone, quick interaction), repeat visitors (anonymous repeated visit patterns detected through traffic analysis). This segmentation is statistical, not individual: Flame tells you 35% of Saturday afternoon visitors show explorer behavior, not who those explorers are. Physical spaces use this to understand how visitors engage with different areas, shopping malls optimize tenant placement, and retailers tailor experiences: more staff in explorer-dominated zones, faster service for mission visitors.
How does Customer Journey optimize store layout?
Customer journey analytics provides evidence-based guidance for layout decisions by quantifying how visitors actually use your space versus how you intended them to. Flame's data reveals: which entrance captures most traffic (critical for placing key displays or information desks), natural vs. forced flow patterns, zone-to-zone transition rates and dead spots receiving less than 5% of total traffic. A typical optimization cycle: measure baseline flow, identify underperforming zones, make layout changes, measure impact. Flame clients report 15-25% increases in target zone exposure after data-driven layout changes. A major organization managing a physical space used journey mapping to redesign visitor routes, increasing average visit duration from 42 to 58 minutes.
Can I measure the impact of promotional displays?
Yes. Flame's A/B testing capability compares visitor behavior before and after display changes, promotions or layout modifications. Set a measurement period for the before state, make the change, then measure the after state: Flame automatically controls for day-of-week and time-of-day variations. Metrics compared include: zone traffic increase, dwell time change, flow pattern shifts and conversion impact. A physical space redesigned its wayfinding signage and measured a 30% reduction in reception dwell time. A department store switched its front-of-store display from seasonal clothing to electronics and measured a 23% increase in electronics zone traffic. Promotional impact reports are available within 48 hours of campaign completion.
How is Customer Journey different from beacon solutions?
Beacon-based solutions require visitors to have a specific app installed with Bluetooth enabled, resulting in opt-in rates typically below 5%, producing statistically biased samples. Flame's camera-based approach captures 100% of visitors automatically, requiring no action from the visitor. Key differences: beacons need dedicated hardware (30-50 EUR/unit, battery maintenance); Flame uses existing cameras. Beacons provide proximity data (visitor is near a point); Flame offers complete journeys with zone-to-zone flows. Beacons collect device identifiers (personal data under GDPR); Flame processes only anonymous silhouettes. Whether deployed in a physical space, a retail store or a shopping mall, Flame clients get 20x more data through 100% coverage versus beacons' biased 3-5% samples.
