CF Group Benelux starts counting

For more than two months, the showroom of CF Group Benelux has been equipped with the V-Count 3D counting system.

V-Count is the world’s leading manufacturer of 3D people counting systems. Our main objectives are to be able to quantify the number of customers circulating in our showroom, to define with more precision the hours of affluence at the counter and to determine the off-peak periods with the aim for example of optimizing the re-stocking of our self service (cash & carry).

The statistics are visible per hour but also per day. Based on the current measurements, we have already noticed that our busiest days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. With this tool, it is also possible to take into account the weather and define campaign periods to get statistics limited in a predefined time slot, very useful for events organized within our premises or in front of our outdoor spaces.

In order not to distort the existing traffic, each employee has a badge allowing him/her to become invisible under the detectors.

Thanks to V-Count, each entry and exit is counted anonymously. We hope that this tool will allow us in the future to draw a panel of statistics related to the physical traffic generated in our showroom and to exploit them for marketing and commercial purposes.

Launch of the new bluefino platform!

After several months of development, we are pleased to announce the launch of the new European platform dedicated to the product “bluefino”:

www.bluefino.eu

This new site is the result of a close collaboration between our different subsidiaries and we are quite proud of the result. In a first step, the platform has been translated into English, German, Italian, French and Dutch to serve the markets of Benelux, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy.

As a reminder, the first objective of this new platform was to create a digital showcase of the bluefino brand in order to inform end customers in a BtoCtoB logic. A second phase of development is planned to integrate a configurator for professionals.
