1. An operational analytics system, comprising:
an access point device configured to receive a wireless signal for at least one wireless device; and
an electronic controller configured to
receive a signal strength indicator for the at least one wireless device from the access point device,
calculate a position of the at least one wireless device based on the signal strength indicator for the at least one wireless device,
determine the position is a predetermined position designated as a checkout area, and
when the at least one wireless device is at the predetermined position,
perform a first mitigation operation related to a product at the predetermined position when a number of the product in inventory is below a first threshold number,
compare the number of the product in inventory to a second threshold number when the number of the product in inventory is not below the first threshold number,
perform a second mitigation operation related to the product at the predetermined position when the number of the product in inventory is below the second threshold number,
continue to track the at least one wireless device when a current time is not greater than a threshold time, the current time taken from an initial time when the at least one wireless device is at the predetermined position, and
perform a third mitigation operation including reducing the number of the product in inventory when the current time is greater than the threshold time.
