REAL-TIME OCCUPANCY & FOOTFALL ANALYTICS FOR SAFER, SMARTER EVENTS

CountMatters’ people counting and footfall analytics help event organizers, venue operators, and security partners understand live capacity and visitor movement across entrances, arenas, and concourses. By combining proven Xovis people counting sensor technology with our analytics dashboards, teams coordinate staffing, maintain safety thresholds, and deliver a smoother guest experience.

THE CHALLENGE: DYNAMIC CROWDS, FIXED CAPACITY

Large venues face shifting demand by gate, stage, or hall—often within minutes. Without accurate, zone-level real-time occupancy, decisions rely on radio chatter and gut feel. That slows incident response, increases queue times, and risks overcrowding, while post-event reporting is inconsistent and hard to trust.

OUR SOLUTION: PEOPLE COUNTING + LIVE OCCUPANCY BY ZONE

CountMatters fuses high-accuracy people counting sensors with an event-ready analytics layer. You see current occupancy and inflow/outflow per zone, minute-by-minute trends, and alerts when thresholds are reached. Security and operations teams can open alternate routes, trigger announcements, or shift staff before congestion develops.

PROOF OF VALUE: FROM SAFETY TO SERVICE

• Faster decisions: Live dashboards reduce time-to-action for safety teams and floor managers.
• Shorter queues: Predictive flow signals let you rebalance gates and concessions in advance.
• Better reporting: Clean, comparable KPIs for attendance, peak load, and dwell by area—ready for stakeholders.
  
  
  

USE CASES ACROSS THE VENUE

• Entrances & turnstiles: Balance inflow across gates; trigger wayfinding for long queues.
• Arenas & halls: Monitor capacity vs. safety thresholds; protect emergency egress.
• Food & retail: Optimize staffing for concourse hotspots; reduce wait times.
• Outdoor grounds: Understand crowd spread during peak headliners; plan stewards proactively.
• Post-event: Analyze egress patterns to refine transport coordination and gate scheduling.

HOW IT WORKS: DEPLOYMENT IN WEEKS

1. Site survey: We map entrances, choke points, and safety lines to benchmark sensor placement.
2. Install & calibrate: Sensors are mounted with minimal disruption; calibration ensures accuracy for your scenes.
3. Dashboards & alerts: Role-based views for Security, Ops, and Vendors; SMS/in-app alerts on thresholds.
4. Integration: Optional feeds to access control, digital signage, and incident tools.
5. Training: Shift-based training so every team member can act on the same live picture.

ROI & OPERATIONAL IMPACT

Event producers cut delays, keep lines moving, and reduce risk of closures. Security teams act earlier with fewer escalations. Commercial teams protect F&B and merch revenue by aligning staff to real traffic, not forecasts. The result: safer events, happier guests, and cleaner post-event reporting.

FAQ

WHAT MAKES THE SYSTEM ACCURATE IN DENSE CROWDS?

Sensors count bi-directional flows and handle occlusions common at turnstiles and tunnels. With proper mounting and calibration, accuracy remains high even at peak load.

WHAT ABOUT PRIVACY AND COMPLIANCE?

We work privacy-first. Sensors output anonymized counts; dashboards show aggregated metrics. The solution is designed to support GDPR and venue policies.

CAN WE START WITH A PILOT?

Yes. Many venues begin with a high-impact zone (e.g., main gate + concourse) and expand once teams see the operational gains.

CONCLUSION

When crowds surge, minutes matter. With CountMatters’ footfall analytics and real-time occupancy—powered by trusted Xovis people counting sensors—venues make faster, safer decisions and deliver a better experience from gates to encore.
