Key Insights

01

Interactive displays generate 2.3× more engagement

Zones with guided product experiences consistently outperform static displays across all five stores.

02

Fitting room friction is eroding conversion

Bangkok Central's 15min+ wait times correlate directly with its 8.1% conversion rate — the lowest in the network.

03

Peak demand window has shifted by one hour

Congestion now peaks 6–8pm, not 5–7pm. Staffing schedules have not yet adapted to this shift.

Strategic Recommendations

Expand fitting room capacity and staff coverage to Womenswear and Menswear

Estimated +3.2pp conversion uplift based on Accessories & Footwear zone benchmark

Open overflow fitting rooms at Bangkok Central during 6–9pm

Reduces wait time below 5min threshold — critical for conversion recovery

Shift staffing peak window from 5–7pm to 6–8pm across Jakarta

Aligns service capacity with actual demand — reduces abandonment risk
