People Counting Software for Retail & Enterprise

People counting is a process of tracking the number of individuals that enter or exit a particular area, such as a building, store, or public space. The process involves using technology to count people, typically through sensors.

A people counter is a device designed to record and count the number of people passing through a specific area or into a building. The purpose of a people counter is often to collect data about visitor flow and traffic patterns to help businesses or organizations understand and optimize their operations. 
 
There are different types of people counters and they use different technologies to register people's presence. The most used forms of people counters come in the form of 3D sensors, infrared sensors, IoT sensors, etc.
