Example setups

One example for each kind of team that counts with SnapCount: a multi-day event, a fun run, a retail chain, and a church.

These are illustrative setups, not customer stories. They show how the counters, the people, and the export fit together. Team sizes and counts describe the example only, and no results are claimed.

Example: RetailUses the Pro plan

Daily foot traffic across three stores

Example setup: staff at the door of each store and an area manager who compares them.

Without SnapCount
Each store keeps its own tally, or none at all. The area manager phones every store at closing and copies numbers into a spreadsheet that is always a day behind.
The setup
Create one counter per store entrance, grouped by store. Staff tap on the phone in their pocket as visitors come in, and the area manager sees every store's live count from one dashboard. At closing, export a CSV snapshot to set beside the day's sales.
What you keep
A daily visitor count per store in CSV, from the phones staff already carry. Counters that reset themselves at closing time need Enterprise; on Pro, the manager resets them.

Example: EventsUses the Pro plan

A three-day festival with four gates

Example setup: one staff member per gate and an operations lead at the command tent.

Without SnapCount
Each gate has a mechanical clicker. Totals are radioed to the command tent, typed into a spreadsheet, and are out of date by the time anyone reads them. On day two, nobody is sure which day's numbers are which.
The setup
Create an entry counter and an exit counter for each gate, grouped so SnapCount nets them into one live occupancy total. Gate staff open the counters on their own phones, and the operations lead watches the total from a laptop or a watch-only live view. At the end of each day, export a CSV snapshot and start the next day from the same saved counters.
What you keep
A saved set of gate counters that is reused all weekend, and a CSV snapshot of each day's totals for the post-event review. The count is a manual operational tally. It does not certify capacity or replace the venue's safety procedures, and limits must be confirmed with the venue and relevant authorities.

Example: RunsUses the Pro plan

A charity fun run with lap pledges

Example setup: 80 runners on a short loop, four lap-counting volunteers, and one organizer.

Without SnapCount
Volunteers mark laps on paper as runners pass. Sheets are added up by hand after the race, runners get missed when a crowd comes through at once, and pledge totals take days to send.
The setup
Create a numbered set, Runner 1 to Runner 80, as one summed group. Each volunteer searches a runner number and taps a lap, and the group total updates live for the organizer and the announcer. Before race day, try a shared lap count for free in Guest Mode on up to 10 devices.
What you keep
A CSV snapshot with the lap count for every runner, ready for pledge sheets, and the event total. Timestamped tap-by-tap history is available on Enterprise if the organizer needs lap times.

Example: ChurchUses the Pro plan

Sunday attendance across two services

Example setup: greeters at three doors, a children's ministry lead, and a church administrator.

Without SnapCount
Greeters count on paper at each door. Children's ministry counts separately and the numbers are never reconciled. When the greeter with the clipboard is away, the week's count is missing.
The setup
Start from the free Church Attendance template: Adults, Children, and Volunteers counters grouped into one congregation total. Greeters tap on their own phones at each door, and a watch-only live view can show the total in the church office. After each service, export a CSV snapshot for the weekly record.
What you keep
A service-by-service attendance record in CSV, kept in one saved workspace. A weekly scheduled reset so each service starts at zero is available on Enterprise.
