On-Site Insights™

See What Shoppers See While They’re Still in Your Store

Retail problems can appear anywhere in the customer journey: long checkout lines, messy fitting rooms, empty displays, poor service, restroom issues, or difficulty finding an associate. On-Site Insights™ gives shoppers and employees a simple way to send operational feedback while they are still in the store, helping managers see what is happening in real time instead of discovering problems later in a public review.

01 Place QR feedback touchpoints near checkout, fitting rooms, restrooms, service areas, and other high-traffic locations
02 Capture detailed in-store feedback while the shopping experience is still fresh
03 Receive real-time alerts so managers know what needs attention right now

04 Let shoppers report service, cleanliness, product availability, checkout, and facility concerns
05 Give store teams time to respond before frustration becomes a lost customer or negative review
06 Turn recurring customer feedback into better visibility across day-to-day store operations
Why It Matters

By giving shoppers a direct line to store management, retailers can uncover issues that would otherwise go unreported, respond before frustration grows, and identify patterns that help improve service, store conditions, and the overall shopping experience. Instead of waiting for surveys or reviews to reveal what went wrong, your team gets actionable insight while there is still time to make the experience better.

Trigger Codes™

Make Reporting a Store Issue as Easy as Scanning a Code

Trigger Codes™ are pre-programmed QR codes designed for fast, repeatable operational alerts. Place them where common issues happen and a shopper or employee can send the exact message your team needs with a single scan — no app, no account, and no typing. The right person knows what happened and where, so the problem can be handled before it affects more customers.

Message Pre-written and location-specific

Not every store problem needs a full feedback form. Sometimes management simply needs to know that a spill needs attention, a supply station is empty, a fitting room needs service, or a shopper needs help. Trigger Codes™ remove the effort that often keeps those small but important issues from being reported. Because each code is tied to a specific issue and location, alerts arrive with useful context instead of forcing managers to investigate a vague complaint after the fact.

Smart Cart™ NFC Clamp

Turn Every Shopping Cart Into a Digital Customer Touchpoint

The Smart Cart™ NFC Clamp attaches directly to a standard shopping cart and gives shoppers instant access to useful store information through NFC tap technology or a QR scan. No app is required. Customers can open a branded multi-link experience with store maps, promotions, loyalty information, product resources, and real-time communication with store management — all from the cart already in their hands.

Patent-pending retail technology
Smart Cart NFC Clamp with embedded NFC tap and printed QR code
Everything shoppers need, right at their fingertips

Tap or scan once. Open the whole store.

Each clamp connects shoppers to a retailer-controlled digital page that can be updated without reprinting signage. Give customers immediate access to the information that helps them shop, save, find products, and reach your team without wandering the store looking for an associate.

Smart Cart™ NFC Clamps help reduce customer effort by moving common store resources from signs, printed materials, and hard-to-find webpages directly onto the shopping cart. Retailers can update the linked content digitally, making the cart an interactive touchpoint instead of a passive piece of equipment.

Beyond convenience, Smart Carts™ can support revenue and loyalty by putting specials, coupons, digital circulars, product information, and personalized resources in front of shoppers during the purchase journey. The same touchpoint can also connect customers with store management when they need help or want to report an issue.

Rating Requests

Ask at the Right Moment and Turn Great Shopping Experiences Into More 5-Star Reviews

Powered by Real Time Feedback’s Review Boost, Rating Requests automate the post-purchase follow-up while the experience is still fresh. After a transaction, shoppers can receive a simple SMS text message and/or email asking them to rate the experience from 1–5. Positive feedback can lead directly into a public review invitation, while lower internal ratings can be captured privately so your team has visibility into problems that need attention.

Manual review requests depend on employees remembering to ask and customers remembering to follow through later. Automated Rating Requests create a consistent process after purchases and other customer interactions, giving more satisfied shoppers a low-effort opportunity to share their experience when recall is strongest.

For retail leadership, the same workflow provides more than reputation growth. Internal ratings create another source of customer experience data, helping teams spot negative experiences, identify recurring problems, and connect post-purchase sentiment with the operational improvements already being uncovered through On-Site Insights™ and Trigger Codes™.
