Six Reasons Buyers Pick V-Count
Where the single-vendor model pays off in practice.
One Vendor, Whole Stack
Sensor, platform, and support from one company. No integrator margin, no finger-pointing between hardware and software vendors when something needs fixing.
Retail KPIs Out of the Box
Conversion, capture rate, dwell, queue, occupancy, demographics — 200+ KPIs live in BoostBI the day sensors go up. No custom dashboard project required.
Audited up to 99% Accuracy
V-Count publishes how its accuracy is measured: test protocol, sample sizes, staff exclusion. Both vendors make strong claims — V-Count shows the work.
Transparent Pricing
Sensors $299–799 and BoostBI from $9/month, published on the website. Budgeting a 200-store rollout takes minutes, not a quote cycle.
AI That Recommends
BoostBI’s AI Sales Coach turns traffic patterns into staffing and marketing recommendations — analytics that tells you what to do, not just what happened.
Faster Time to Value
PoE self-install and cloud auto-provisioning mean a store counts within minutes. Integrator-led projects typically measure deployment in weeks.
