When RetailNext is the better fit.
If you run a large chain, need demographics or video-based analytics, and have IT support for wired installs across many doors, an enterprise platform like RetailNext can make sense.
When Dor is the better fit.
If you run one store or a few hundred, want a published price, no cabling and no long contract, and mainly need traffic, conversion and staffing tied to your POS, Dor is built for that.
