Questions about people counting by industry
Which industries use V-Count people counting?
V-Count people counting is used by retail stores, shopping malls, airports, libraries and museums, banks, hotels, supermarkets, restaurants, smart buildings and events. Each industry page explains the typical measures and set-up for that sector.
Do different industries need different sensors?
Most deployments start from the same V-Count sensors and one platform, BoostBI. Nano AI counts indoor entrances, Nano Prime adds zones, heatmaps and dwell time, and Nano Outdoor covers weather-exposed entrances. BoostBI reports the data for every sector.
What do industries measure besides visitor counts?
Depending on the sector, teams use V-Count to track occupancy, queue length, conversion rate, capture rate at storefronts and visits per labour hour. The right measures depend on the decision you want to make.
