The Problem & The Solution
The Critical Flaw of Hand-Held Clickers and Chaotic Radio Updates
Coordinating capacity via handheld radio is a recipe for disaster. Gate supervisors are constantly screaming over static, trying to relay their localized count, forcing the central Command Center to manually tally numbers—a process that is always lagging 5 to 10 minutes behind the actual Occupancy Load. This delay creates unacceptable liability risks.
⚠️Stop relying on hand-held clickers and radios and manual counting methods.
SnapCount: Instant Sync for Absolute Occupancy Control
Achieve perfect, zero-latency situational awareness. Central Command sees the live Occupancy Load update in milliseconds, allowing for immediate decisions on pausing ingress or deploying additional security. End-of-night reporting is automated, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring compliance with fire marshal regulations.

How Venue Managers & Event Operations Teams Use SnapCount for Event Capacity Management
Venue Managers & Event Operations Teams across the event capacity management industry rely on accurate, real-time counting to make informed decisions. Whether you're tracking general admission guests, vip area occupancy, staff/crew ingress, or managing counts across multiple locations, SnapCount replaces fragmented manual processes with a single collaborative tool. Instead of passing clipboards, shouting numbers, or reconciling spreadsheets at the end of the day, your entire team counts into one shared session that updates instantly.
Traditional methods like hand-held clickers and radios break down when multiple people need to count at the same time, when counts need to be visible across locations, or when you need a historical record of your data. SnapCount solves all three problems: multiple venue managers & event operations teams can tap simultaneously on their own phones or tablets, the running total is visible to everyone in real time, and every count is logged with a timestamp for later review or CSV export.
Getting started takes less than a minute. Create a free session, name your counters to match your event capacity management workflow, and share the link with anyone who needs access. There's nothing to download, no accounts to create for viewers, and the interface works on any device with a web browser. For venue managers & event operations teams who need persistent data, team management, or advanced analytics, paid plans unlock additional features while keeping the same simple counting experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about using SnapCount for event capacity management
Can SnapCount handle multiple zones (e.g., GA and VIP)?
Yes. Create separate, independent counters for specific zones like VIP balconies, backstage access, or restricted areas, while maintaining an overall venue capacity tracker.
What if the venue Wi-Fi is spotty or overloaded?
SnapCount is designed to work offline. Counts are stored locally and automatically sync the moment connectivity is restored, preventing any data loss during high-density crowd periods.
Is this only for counting people, or can we track inventory too?
While optimized for crowd flow, many operations teams use SnapCount to manage critical inventory like wristbands, alcohol stock in specific bars, or merchandise counts during the event.
How fast can we train temporary event staff to use this?
The interface is intuitive—just a big '+' and '-' button. Staff can be trained on proper Gate Throughput procedures in under two minutes, far faster than complex radio protocols.
