Count Customers

For many applications, the best retail traffic counter is one that excels at threshold counting, where sensors are placed at the store entrance to identify and count customers as they enter and exit, providing data to identify:

  • Real-time, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly traffic
  • Peak and slow traffic times
  • Traffic flow and patterns
  • Historical comparisons
  • Traffic forecasts

  • Visit duration
  • Activity paths
  • Zone visits
  • Zone draw-rate
  • Store draw-rate
