Live footfall, checkout-queue prediction, cold-case temperature and per-zone energy — one connected view of the store floor, instead of a manager walking the aisles to find out what's wrong.
Book a PilotA store produces a steady stream of small signals all day — who is waiting, how busy each aisle is, whether the cold case is holding temperature, how much power the signage is drawing. Most of it is never captured, so decisions get made on gut feel and the occasional walk-through, and a queue only gets noticed once shoppers are already annoyed by it.
Shoppers cluster at the counter with no early signal, so a second till opens only after the line is already long.
Without counters at the door and by zone, it's hard to know which hours and aisles are actually busy.
A chiller running warm often goes unnoticed until stock is already spoiled or a customer complains.
Lights, signage and cold cases draw power around the clock because per-zone consumption is never actually visible.
Footfall counters at the door, checkout-queue sensors at the tills, cold-case temperature and per-zone energy — watch the queue get predicted to breach service level before it happens, then cleared by opening another checkout. This is the same engine and scenario running at demos.barquecontech.com, embedded live below.
From a checkout sensor or door counter to a store manager's screen — the same path the live demo above runs on.

The building blocks we combine to fit how your stores actually run.
Checkout-queue sensing with a clear "now serving" display so shoppers wait in order and staff stay ahead of it.
Entrance and per-zone counters that show your real busy periods and quiet ones, hour by hour.
Temperature and humidity probes in chillers and cold cases, logged continuously against your limits.
Consumption tracking by zone for lighting, signage and cold cases, so nothing runs needlessly out of hours.
Live floor view, alert feed and per-zone history for the team running the store day to day.
Logged temperature and energy history you can hand to a customer or auditor on request.
Store data is only useful where your team already works — we integrate rather than replace.
Feed live queue and footfall status into the point-of-sale and staffing tools your managers use.
Tie per-zone power and cold-case data back to facilities management, so nothing gets tracked twice.
Push queue-breach and cold-case alerts to SMS, email or a channel your store ops team already watches.
Concrete outcomes from putting a live view across the checkout, the cold case and the meter.
checkout waits once a predicted queue breach opens another till before shoppers feel the backlog.
response to a drifting cold case — minutes instead of discovering spoiled stock on the next walk-through.
energy spend once lighting, signage and cold-case power are visible by zone and can be scheduled against.
Directional outcomes based on what live queue, footfall, cold-case and energy monitoring make visible — we'll size the specific case against your stores during a pilot.
Store-floor monitoring is one layer. Barquecon also builds the software and AI that runs the rest of a retail or e-commerce business — from personalisation to inventory to the platform itself.
ML-driven recommendation engines that personalise the homepage, product page and cart based on customer behaviour, instead of showing every shopper the same layout.
Models that read order history, seasonality and promotions to forecast demand at SKU level, so buying decisions rely on data rather than gut feel.
Camera-based shelf and warehouse scanning that flags stock levels and planogram compliance automatically, cutting reliance on manual counts.
Generative AI pipelines that turn supplier data sheets and product images into SEO-ready descriptions and attribute tags, so catalogue upkeep stops being a manual bottleneck.
Full marketplace and e-commerce platforms built end to end — product catalogue, vendor onboarding, checkout and logistics integration, mobile-first for the majority of retail traffic.
Dynamic pricing and churn-prediction models that adjust price and prioritise win-back campaigns from live demand, inventory and customer-value signals.
Watch the store run live, or tell us about your floor and we'll shape a pilot around it.
