The Problem & The Solution
The Hidden Costs of Expensive Beam Sensors and Manual Clickers
Relying on a single associate at the door means constant interruptions. A simple question about store directions or a phone call causes the count to freeze or, worse, leads to an accidental double-click. If you have multiple entry points, reconciling five different manual totals hours later guarantees flawed Conversion Rate metrics.
⚠️Stop relying on expensive beam sensors and manual counting methods.
