RetailNext provides enterprise software solutions for in-store analytics. We use a sophisticated system of cameras to track and analyze customer behavior in physical retail spaces. We bring many analytic capabilities of e-commerce shopping to brick-and-mortar retail.I work on every part of the UI for our cloud-based web apps (Ember JS) that are completely replacing legacy on-site installations that were built using Flash. Our core web app consists of various dashboards, deep-dive analytics, loss-prevention, transaction-monitoring, video-monitoring, customized reporting, and security event monitoring. We are adding more features every week. The core app also contains an admin section to manage all of your users, devices, locations, imputation settings, store-hour schedules, health-monitoring and video settings. I also work on various internal web apps that help our customer support team. We strive for 100% test coverage.My favorite parts of the core web app are the dashboards and deep-dive analytics. We use Highcharts extensively for these features. It was a great learning experience to integrate the charting library into the Ember framework and to use data-binding for a very nice UX.
