What Do You Want to Gain?
You cannot simply add technology for the sake of adding technology. These technology sensors will produce a lot of data for your company. Depending on how you utilize it, you can determine your customer’s habits, employee habits, and really learn more about behavior towards your products and/or services as a whole. You could start with gaining all of the information possible but you really should have a goal in mind. Whether it be to create another product or service that will better serve your customers or find out how you can optimize your spending, you should know what you are looking to gain from this added technology.
