The CartMotion product combines Ubisense’s precise real-time location system (RTLS) with Intelligentz’s analytical engine. The valuable data provided on consumer behavior, conversion rate and asset management enables retailers to improve sales conversion, productivity and customer service.

The Ubisense sensors are discreetly positioned around the store perimeter and once installed may be employed to also track other items as the need arises.
