Consumer path analysis is a very useful method for understanding customer flow at any internal store location, as it helps to understand the differences between normal or expected customer behavior and atypical customer behavior, identifying how and why people search for a specific product or service, tracking the customer path segmented by departments, aisles and products, making it possible to estimate the average time of the consumer’s shopping journey from the time they enter the store until they leave the store.

Some of the benefits of these analyses are:
