V-Count vs Vemcount:
Manufacturer vs. Distributor

Vemcount is the software. It is Vemco Group’s cloud analytics platform — the dashboard where counting data is stored and reported — not a sensor you mount above a door. The counting itself is done by hardware installed at the entrance, and the platform turns those counts into visitor, conversion and dwell reporting.

The equivalent split on our side is a Nano AI, Nano Prime or Nano Outdoor sensor at the door feeding BoostBI in the cloud. When you compare quotes, make sure you are comparing sensor with sensor and platform with platform.

Yes. BoostBI can take data from third-party people counters as well as V-Count hardware, so a site that already has counters installed does not have to be re-equipped before it can be reported on.

That matters in mixed estates: an acquired chain, a landlord-installed counter in a mall unit, or a pilot you want to run alongside your current vendor. BoostBI also exposes an API, so counts can be pushed into a data warehouse, BI tool, workforce-management system or POS.

Ask any vendor for the same: a documented API, an export format, and no lock-in on your historical data.

Neither answer is automatic. Vemco Group is headquartered in Denmark, so a Nordic or Northern European chain may value local-language support and proximity for installations — that is a fair reason to shortlist it.

V-Count operates globally with regional hosting options and a partner network, which tends to matter when an estate spans several countries, currencies and entrance types. The honest test is a paid pilot: the same entrances, the same opening hours, the same definition of a visitor and the same reporting period for both vendors.

Then compare the numbers, the reports and the support response.

V-Count pricing is published on request and is built the same way for everyone: sensor hardware per entrance, a BoostBI subscription per site, then installation and support. When you compare, ask both vendors to break their quote into those same lines, for the same number of stores and the same contract term.

A single blended number hides whether you are paying for hardware, for the platform, or for a third party in the supply chain.

Six questions cover most of the risk. Which sensor model and mounting height do you propose for this exact entrance? What counts as a visitor, and how are staff excluded?

Which reports exist on day one, without custom development? Where is the data hosted, how long is it retained, and what does the data processing agreement say? Who holds the contract, the warranty and the support SLA?

And what happens to our historical data if we leave? Get the answers in writing from both vendors, then run the same pilot at one representative door and book a V-Count demo.

No. Vemco Group does not design or manufacture any sensor hardware. They purchase sensors from third-party manufacturers — primarily Xovis (Switzerland), Hikvision (China), Milesight, and TDI Intelligence — and put their own stickers and branding on them to present the products as their own. In reality, these sensors are designed and built entirely by other companies. Vemco repackages and resells them bundled with their Vemcount analytics software, adding a distributor markup. The sensors’ accuracy, capabilities, and technology roadmap are all determined by those original manufacturers — not by Vemco Group. V-Count, by contrast, designs and manufactures its own Nano sensors in-house with proprietary technology and patents.

When the same company builds both the sensor and the software, you get tighter integration, faster bug fixes, coordinated firmware updates, and a single point of contact for support. With a distributor model, the sensor roadmap is controlled by a separate company (like Xovis), firmware updates depend on their timeline, and hardware support issues may bounce between Vemco and the sensor maker. You also avoid paying a distributor’s markup on hardware you could source directly from the original manufacturer. V-Count builds both its Nano sensors and its BoostBI software.

Yes. Xovis sells its PC2, PC3, and PF-series sensors through its own sales channels and partner network. The sensors available in Vemco Group’s shop are the same Xovis products — Vemco acts as a distributor, adding their Vemcount software layer. The same applies to Hikvision and Milesight sensors they resell. Vemco Group also offers a white-label program where other resellers can further rebrand the same package. V-Count sells its own Nano sensors with BoostBI.

V-Count’s proprietary Nano AI delivers up to 99% accuracy as the standard sensor — this is what every V-Count customer gets, consistently across all deployments. With Vemco, accuracy varies wildly depending on which third-party sensor model you end up with. Because Vemco resells hardware from multiple vendors with different characteristics, real-world accuracy can range anywhere from 85% to 98% depending on the sensor, the environment, and the vendor’s own calibration quality. There is no consistency guarantee when the hardware comes from different manufacturers with different engineering standards.

V-Count serves 600+ companies including 11 Fortune 500 clients — Samsung, Sephora, Bang & Olufsen, Swatch, Birkenstock, and Guess among them — across 130+ countries. The single-vendor model (one company for hardware, software, and support) simplifies enterprise procurement. Vemco Group covers 95+ countries through resellers with a team of 11–50 employees and has not publicly disclosed Fortune 500 partnerships at comparable scale.
