Introducing CountRetail Vision AI: The Most Advanced Traffic, Marketing & Sales Floor Analytics System for Jewelry Stores

Every week inside Building the Academy, we highlight new features and tools being added to the JewelLink ecosystem. This week, we’re showcasing one of the most powerful technologies we’ve ever built for jewelry retailers:

CountRetail Vision AI

A next-generation artificial intelligence system that analyzes traffic, marketing effectiveness, sales floor behavior, zone movement, and customer flow inside a jewelry store.

This is not a simple people counter. This is AI-powered retail intelligence that shows you exactly how customers move, how associates perform, how traffic interacts with your store layout, and how marketing efforts translate into real sales opportunity.

For the first time, jewelers can truly see what’s happening in their stores.

Why Vision AI Matters in Jewelry Retail

Jewelry retail is unique:

• Every product category has a different average ticket.

• Inventory is locked in cases.

• Sales depend heavily on staff interaction.

• Customers move unpredictably through the store.

• Marketing doesn’t always translate directly into sales.

Before Vision AI, store owners had to guess:

• How many people came in today

• Whether bridal traffic increased

• Which cases get the most attention

• How often staff are covering the door

• Why certain categories underperform

• Whether marketing is working or wasting money

CountRetail removes the guesswork by turning video data into actionable intelligence.

Part 1: AI Marketing Analytics – Understand What Drives Traffic

Most retailers spend heavily on:

• Google Ads

• Meta Ads

• SEO

• Local campaigns

• Newspaper

• TV

• Billboards

• Direct mail

• Event marketing

But few can prove what drives traffic.

CountRetail integrates:

• Google Ads

• Google Analytics

• Meta Analytics

• Campaign budgets

• Event schedules

• Traditional marketing inputs

Then AI analyzes everything to reveal:

• Which campaigns drive the most store visits

• Which ads produce the highest-quality traffic

• What your real marketing ROI is

• How your marketing relates to in-store behavior

We’re even building AI agents that can:

• Recommend budget shifts

• Identify waste

• Suggest timing improvements

• Upload data automatically

It’s like having a full-time marketing analyst—inside your software.

Part 2: Vision AI Traffic Tracking – The Heart of the System

This is where CountRetail becomes groundbreaking.

Using your existing store cameras, CountRetail can:

• Count people entering the store

• Calculate traffic by hour/day

• Track customers as they move through zones

• Identify which cases attract the most engagement

• Measure time spent in each area

• Track team selling activity

• Compare actual floor behavior to CRM + appointment data

All using zoning drawn directly over your camera feed.

Measure the “Sweet Spot” — The Key to Average Ticket & Reviews

One of the biggest store problems is inconsistent coverage at the front.

Miss the greeting → You lose trustMiss the greeting → You lose the saleMiss the greeting → You get bad reviews

CountRetail draws a sweet spot zone at the entrance to:

• Track how often employees cover the door

• Identify periods of missed greetings

• Measure interaction speed

• Detect service gaps

• Improve customer experience immediately

This is something no simple line-break counter can ever measure.

Track Bridal Traffic Accurately — A Jewelry Industry First

Most stores dramatically undercount bridal traffic.

Why?

Because associates only log full presentations—not brief conversations or early-stage inquiries.

CountRetail solves this by:

• Drawing a Bridal Zone

• Counting every person who enters that zone

• Calculating dwell time

• Comparing bridal traffic against CRM activity

• Revealing your true bridal closing percentages

This lets you evaluate:

• Bridal marketing campaigns

• Associate performance

• Floor coverage

• Bridal product placement

• Traffic-to-sales conversion

For the first time, bridal analytics become accurate.

Zone Tracking: Know Exactly How Your Store Performs

With Vision AI, you can track traffic for every major category:

• Bridal

• Diamond fashion

• Loose diamonds

• Watches

• Designer cases

• Repair counters

• Custom design areas

You can measure:

• Total zone traffic

• Percentage of store visitors who enter the zone

• Time spent in the zone

• How team selling influences movement

• Whether customers reach high-margin cases

• Product visibility issues

• Missed opportunities

This also identifies why aged inventory builds up:

Products that aren’t seen never get sold.

CountRetail finally exposes which cases get ignored—helping you fix layout and training problems fast.

How Vision AI Connects to the JewelLink CRM

The CountRetail system seamlessly integrates with:

• JewelLink CRM

• Appointment Setting

• Clienteling Dashboard

• Forms & Intake Tools

• Messaging Analytics

That means you can compare:

• Real traffic vs. logged customers

• Bridal zone traffic vs. bridal forms

• Appointments vs. in-store interactions

• Marketing spend vs. case-level traffic

This gives you true end-to-end visibility, from:

Marketing → Traffic → Zones → Cases → Conversations → Sales

No other system in the industry offers this level of connected intelligence.
