Step 2

The Problem & The Solution

The Hidden Costs of Expensive Beam Sensors and Manual Clickers

Those bulky infrared sensors are a nightmare. They suffer from occlusion errors when shoppers cluster, they require costly installation above the ceiling tiles, and maintenance contracts drain your budget yearly. When they go down, you lose days of crucial Shopper Journey data, leaving your staffing models completely inaccurate during Peak Hours.

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.

SnapCount: The Modern Standard for Retail Entry/Exit Flow Analysis

SnapCount turns any device into a powerful, collaborative counter. Multiple staff members across several entrances can tally visitors simultaneously. The moment a count is logged on the main entrance tablet, the total updates instantly on the side door smartphone, ensuring perfect synchronization across the entire store footprint.

This immediate, shared visibility eliminates reconciliation errors and provides accurate, granular data for Staffing Optimization. You can immediately see the true Entry/Exit Flow in real-time. Stop waiting for overnight reports; know your current occupancy and projected Dwell Time right now to maximize sales opportunities and ensure compliance.

How Retail Operations Manager Use SnapCount for Retail Footfall

Retail Operations Manager across the retail footfall industry rely on accurate, real-time counting to make informed decisions. Whether you're tracking store visitors, queue length, staff occupancy, 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 expensive beam sensors 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 retail operations manager 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 retail footfall 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.
