Retailers leveraging this partnership can now supply pass_by with their own traffic data, marketing events calendars, and updates on new store openings. pass_by’s models ingest this information to refine predictions and enhance the accuracy of data tailored specifically to each retail brand. This enhanced integration allows retailers to plan more effectively for workforce needs, inventory management, and marketing initiatives based on anticipated store traffic and competitive landscape insights.
