How does a retail people counting system work?

Suitable sensors or cameras installed at entrances measure entry and exit directions; data is reported by hour, day, store and entrance.

Can store visitor data be analyzed with sales data?

Yes. Where POS and reporting infrastructure supports it, visitor and sales data can be compared over the same periods to monitor conversion rate.

Can people counting be deployed with a privacy-compliant approach?

A setup that counts anonymous traffic without identifying individuals can be selected. Final compliance depends on the technology, data flow and retention policy used in the project.

Can multiple stores be monitored in one dashboard?

With suitable network and integration infrastructure, traffic data from different stores can be reported centrally using common periods and indicators.

How is the right sensor selected for a store?

Entrance width, ceiling height, lighting, traffic density and accuracy targets are assessed during discovery to select the appropriate technology.
