Enhancing Efficiency & Transparency in Retail

SafeSize, a trailblazer in the retail technology sector, leverages innovative 3D foot scanning and shoe recommendation solutions to enhance the shopping experience in both physical and online stores. However, managing and monitoring devices installed in diverse customer environments posed significant challenges. These devices, crucial for delivering SafeSize’s cutting-edge service, operate in varied network environments with limited access, necessitating a monitoring solution that is both efficient and resource-light.

The complexity of monitoring these devices was compounded by their critical role in providing seamless customer experiences while also being instrumental in SafeSize’s commitment to sustainability by reducing product returns.

“We needed a solution that could offer us a centralized view of all devices running in customer environments without requiring heavy central data storage. Netdata proved to be exactly what we were looking for, acting as a hub that efficiently routes monitoring data directly to our browser.”
