The company will use ShopperTrak to identify traffic patterns and help managers make better scheduling decisions to avoid understaffing.

“Joann stores have become places that inspire creativity and foster a shareable and welcoming experience,” says Chris DiTullio, SVP of Stores & Store Operations at Joann. “The ShopperTrak solution will optimize labor and conversion rates in our stores. Implementing this technology will help ensure team members are available where and when customers need us, to create a supportive and efficient experience. Based on ShopperTrak’s success in other retailer roll-outs, we’re confident this will have a positive impact on our customers’ experience.”

“Traffic technology is a key enabler to understand evolving consumer behaviors and preferences,” says Bill McCarthy, GM of Shopper Trak Americas. “Having actionable insights into shopper behavior enables progressive retailers like Joann to create meaningful customer engagement. We are excited to collaborate in supporting their customer-focused store experience.”
