Frequently asked questions

Last updated: May 2026

What exactly does V-Count sell?
V-Count provides visitor analytics: 3D sensors that count and analyze people in physical spaces, plus BoostBI, the cloud platform that turns those counts into dashboards, alerts, and reports.
Who owns the data my sensors collect?
You do. Your traffic data belongs to your organization; V-Count processes it to deliver the service, and you can export it at any time through the platform or the REST API.
Can I trial V-Count before rolling it out to every location?
Yes. The common path is a pilot at one or a few sites, validating accuracy and reporting against your needs before an estate-wide rollout.
How does support work if a sensor fails years after purchase?
V-Count hardware carries a lifetime warranty and the service includes device health monitoring, so failing units are identified and replaced rather than silently dropping data.
Does V-Count operate in my country?
Very likely: V-Count serves customers in more than 130 countries with regional sales and support teams covering Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas.
What is the difference between V-Count and a free analytics tool like Google Analytics?
Google Analytics measures your website; V-Count measures your physical spaces. Together they give e-commerce-grade funnels for brick-and-mortar: traffic, engagement, conversion.
How long does a full deployment take from order to live dashboards?
Single sites are typically live within days of hardware arriving because sensors are plug and play; multi-country estates are phased, with BoostBI consolidating sites as they come online.
Can V-Count handle a business with hundreds of locations?
Yes. The platform is built for enterprise estates: 600+ brands run it, and more than 25 billion visitors have been counted on V-Count infrastructure.
What does V-Count do with my data to stay privacy compliant?
Processing is anonymous by design, with no facial images stored and no individuals identified, aligned with GDPR, CCPA, and KVKK requirements.
How do I get pricing for my specific project?
Pricing depends on site count, sensor mix, and modules, so V-Count quotes per project; the fastest route is booking a demo where the team scopes your estate and use cases.
