Case Study: Tracking Steps, Unlocking Success at Loake Shoemakers

Foot Traffic Insights: Illuminating Opportunities for Retail Optimisation

Loake Shoemakers have been producing some of the finest footwear in the UK as a family-owned business since 1880. With 20 stores now in the UK, Loake approached Intrepid Security back in 2019 when embarking on the journey to install People Counters to their own Retail shops.

Loake were interested in introducing People Counting to capture their customer count, monitor trade pattern across the day, and finally conversion rates. Loake pride themselves on the one-to-one service they offer their customers, and this has an impact on the conversion rate compared to many other Retail outlets.

With 18 shops live on the Intrepid People Counting Dashboard, it allows David Gibbs, Retail Sales Manager the ease of comparing the stores across the estate in a quick, easy, and logical manner. With the facility to filter stores based on different parameters it makes for reporting within the business and to the Board incredibly easy.

David says, “We chose Intrepid because of the way they engaged with us as a reasonably small retail business. We were very happy working with them as they showed interest not just in major high street outlets.” “From day one, Paul Newbury, General Manager, and the team have been extremely helpful and supportive in meeting all our needs. They assisted with installations, project management, IT, and ongoing data reporting. The People Counter data is immensely valuable to our business, and I wouldn't want to be without it.”

  • Cass Art have used Intrepid for many years in all their stores across the UK. "Intrepid always go above and beyond with the service levels provided, whether that’s a quick phone call for advice or a call out from one of their experienced and knowledgeable engineers.”

    Shannon Langston, Head of Retail Ops, Cass Art

  • “I have worked with Intrepid for a number of years and always appreciate the level of support and responsiveness from the team, be it maintaining existing installations or sourcing and trialling new potential solutions everything is completed at pace to high level of professionalism with a personal touch.”
