POWERED BY PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY

We have developed technology which draws on advanced systems to create a revolutionary new method for capturing footfall data. Sensors are installed close to the entrance of a store or asset with a clear view outside and emit a low-level radar wave to detect people within a set field of vision.

These waves return data to the sensor which is aggregated and processed to produce meaningful and accurate footfall counts.
