The Complete Guide to BLE Beacon Technology in Smart Retail

Explore how BLE Beacon technology transforms retail through personalized marketing, in-store analytics, and seamless customer experiences.

Challenges in Modern Retail

  • Limited
  • Limited

    Limited Visibility Into Shopper Behavior

    Stores cannot see real-time customer movement or product interaction, making it difficult to optimize layouts, guide shoppers efficiently, or evaluate promotional performance.
  • Slow
  • Slow

    Slow and Reactive Staff Coordination

    Without knowing where employees are or which zones require attention, staff response slows. Tasks pile up, customer assistance is delayed, and service quality becomes inconsistent.
  • Missing

    Missing or Underutilized Store Assets

    Shopping carts, handheld devices, or cleaning tools often go missing or remain unused in the wrong areas. Staff waste time searching, reducing asset availability and operational efficiency.
  • Missing
  • Refrigerator

    Refrigerator Temperature Fluctuations

    Refrigerator and freezer cases are sensitive to temperature changes and door misuse. Instability increases spoilage risk, energy waste, and compliance challenges.

Bridging Retail Challenges With BLE True Real-Time Visibility

Modern retail doesn’t just need faster processes—it needs sharper vision. By connecting people, assets, and in-store environments through Minew’s BLE, UWB, and multi-technology IoT devices, retailers gain instant clarity on what’s happening across every aisle and operation. This real-time intelligence transforms common store challenges into opportunities for higher engagement, smoother workflows, and more efficient day-to-day management.
  • Indoor

    Indoor Wayfinding & Proximity Marketing

    Navigate Every Aisle, Discover Every Deal
    Large-format stores often challenge shoppers with complex layouts and limited in-aisle guidance. Minew Indoor Wayfinding helps customers quickly locate products, promotions, and service counters. Combined with Proximity Marketing, stores deliver location-based push notification messages as shoppers approach specific zones—enhancing engagement and boosting conversions.
    Using MBM02 Beacons and MBS02 Beacons, position signals and proximity triggers are sent to the cloud via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or 4G to support real-time navigation and personalized promotions.

    • Navigation-enabled store guidance
    • Enhancing customer engagement
  • Asset

    Assets & Carts Tracking

    Locate What Keeps Your Store Running
    Shopping carts, handheld tools, and cleaning equipment frequently get misplaced across the retail floor. Minew asset tracking solution uses BLE tags to provide real-time visibility of cart movement and location, helping teams reduce search time and avoid losses.
    With continuous broadcasting, BLE asset tags create a clear picture of how carts and tools move throughout the store. These usage patterns help identify high-demand zones, recover missing equipment faster, and support smarter planning—ensuring essential assets stay available exactly when needed.

    Refrigerator Temp Monitoring & Door Open/Close Detection

    Protect Freshness with Precision Sensors
    Maintaining Refrigerator stability is essential for fresh and frozen goods. Minew sensors enable Refrigerator Temp Monitoring to ensure continuous temperature visibility for refrigerated sections. Combined with Door Open/Close Detection, stores gain immediate insight when refrigerator doors remain open too long—helping reduce spoilage and unnecessary energy waste.
    This monitoring can also support Electronic Shelf Labels, ensuring freshness indicators, pricing, and product data remain synchronized for refrigerated items.
    Sensors transmit temperature and door-status events to the cloud for compliance logging and real-time monitoring.
    • Continuous temperature sensing
    • Door-status event detection
    • Refrigerator status insight

    Employee Productivity & Customer Flow Analytics

    Responsive Teams, Smarter Store Performance
    Service quality depends on real-time workforce visibility. Personnel Tags provide continuous updates on staff movement and activity. Combined with Customer Flow Analytics, managers gain heatmaps and zone-based traffic insights to identify peak-hour pressure and allocate staff more efficiently.
    Staff activity signals from personnel tags can be uploaded to the cloud, while customer movement patterns—collected through BLE beacons—generate flow heatmaps that reveal high-traffic areas and shopping behavior trends.
    • Real-time staff visibility
    • Zone-based traffic insights
    • Data-driven task planning
