Calzedonia

Summary

Beachwear, hosiery and lingerie Calzedonia Group opened its first store in 1986 near Verona and created a new way of selling hosiery and beachwear for women, men and children and lingerie and knitwear for women and men through a franchise sales network. The group’s popular brands include Calzedonia, Intimissimi, Intimissimi Uomo, Tezenis, Falconeri and Atelier Emé stores. Calzedonia’s emphasis on stocking a wide product range, ensuring fashion forward style and high quality at affordable prices are major factors in the retailer’s success. Today, the Calzedonia network boasts more than 4,600 stores worldwide and employs over 36,000 people.

Business challenge

Calzedonia Group recognises the importance of closely monitoring performance to maintain the profitability of its business. It relies on shopper analytics to measure key performance indicators, identify where changes need to be made and take any necessary action. Conscious that accurate conversion rate figures are essential to business growth, it embarked on a rigorous selection process to find a partner it could rely on to provide insights into consumer behaviour.

“Customer counting is an integral part of our KPI strategy. We invested considerable time and energy in identifying a partner with the right combination of technology, consultancy and international reach whose product could be fully customised and integrated with our existing systems. The ability to view conversion rate data and other important performance measures in real time gives store managers the opportunity to act instantly to optimise performance.” - Matteo Muraro Commercial Director, Calzedonia Group

Benefits

  • Staff rostering reflects visitor peaks and troughs
  • Objective measurement of store performance by conversion rate, average customer purchase and units per transaction
  • Ability to benchmark stores by size, type and location

Customer counting gives Calzedonia a clear picture of the number of shoppers in store at any given time of day so it can act to prevent a lost sale. Following a rigorous trial of three competing systems, ShopperTrak’s system was found to be the most accurate. It has been installed in 1600 stores in Italy and an additional 2500 branches throughout Europe.

“Since the introduction of the ShopperTrak system, conversion rates have improved by as much as 4%.”
Matteo Muraro Commercial Director, Calzedonia Group
