    Museum Visitor Analytics for Every Room, Floor and Exhibition

    Museum visitor analytics gives you visitor counts per room and per floor, dwell time per gallery and live occupancy, so you see which exhibitions work, where visitors never arrive and what to report to funders. The counts come from anonymous sensors: no images of identifiable people are stored.

    Overcome Your Museum Challenges

    See Past the Record at the Door

    A record attendance can hide an empty second floor. Counting per room and per floor shows where visitors actually go, not only how many came in.

    Treat Every Exhibition as a Test

    Compare visitor numbers, dwell time and flow between exhibitions and periods, so the next programme is planned on measured results.

    Give Funders Numbers They Trust

    Automatic, auditable visitor counting for museums replaces manual tallies and estimates in grant, board and annual reporting.

    Keep Galleries Comfortable and Safe

    Live occupancy per room and floor shows how many people are inside right now, so you manage capacity in popular galleries before they fill.

    Museum Visitor Analytics: Three Things the Ticket Desk Does Not Tell You

    A record year at the door can hide an empty second floor. Counting per room and per floor shows which galleries visitors reach, which they skip and how long they stay.

    An exhibition is a test. With dwell time per gallery and visitor flow you compare exhibitions and periods on the same measures: how many came, how long they stayed and where they went next. Programme decisions follow measured behaviour, not impressions.

    Funders may not trust your own numbers. Automatic sensors produce visitor data by room and floor that is counted the same way every day and can be audited, so grant reports and board papers rest on museum people counting that nobody has to defend by hand. Live occupancy per room adds capacity and comfort to the same reports.

    How it works: sensors at the entrances and in each room count visitors in and out, and VemCount people counting software turns the counts into visitor numbers per room and floor, dwell time per gallery, live occupancy and scheduled reports, on one platform with local support. A museum people counter from our partners Xovis, Milesight or TDI delivers anonymous counts and is GDPR friendly.

    A Solution to Every Problem

    Luksusbaby A/S
    Problem

    Luksusbaby wanted to view real-time, accurate KPIs regarding their physical stores, such as hit and conversion rates, for improved decision-making.

    Our solution helped Luksusbaby take action based on facts rather than intuition while discovering the age of their incoming visitors for accurate conversion rate data.

    Daells Bolighus
    Problem

    Daells Bolighus struggled to keep up with the changing market and had been in an economic deficit for 16 years. The main problems were old-fashioned marketing strategy and a lack of insight into customer data.

    Solution

    Vemco Group installed people counters in both Daells Bolighus stores and integrated sales and visitor data from the physical stores with online data from their website, allowing them to view and compare data across locations.

    Magasin
    Problem

    Magasin had an outdated, unreliable people counting solution and wanted a hosted solution, exporting data into a central BI system to give them insight into customer behavior in all their department stores.

    Solution

    We delivered an accurate, up-to-date people counting solution to Magasin, which allowed them to reduce operational costs by outsourcing their customer data to us.

    Odense Municipality
    Problem

    Odense Municipality wanted to access insight into how the citizens and visitors of Odense use the city and act on these insights based on factual decision-making rather than intuition.

    Solution

    To measure how the citizens and visitors of Odense use the shopping street, we cover all relevant entrances and exits with weather-resistant sensors that cover heights up to 20 meters.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is museum visitor analytics?

    Museum visitor analytics is the automatic counting and analysis of visitors per entrance, room, floor and exhibition, by hour and day. Sensors deliver anonymous counts, and VemCount turns them into reports on visitor numbers, dwell time per gallery and live occupancy, so directors, visitor services and exhibition managers plan on measured numbers. Vemco counts visitors, it does not identify them.

    How do museums count visitors per room and floor?

    Sensors are mounted at the main entrances and at the entry to each room, floor or exhibition, and count people in and out. VemCount combines the counts, so you see how many visitors reached the second floor, how long they stayed in each gallery and which rooms were skipped. Visitor counting for museums works with 3D stereo, time of flight and AI camera sensors, chosen per location.

    Can we compare exhibitions by visitor numbers and dwell time?

    Yes. Every exhibition is measured on the same figures: visitors per day, dwell time per gallery and the flow between rooms. You compare one exhibition with the last, one period with another, and a paid exhibition with the free collection. Reports are scheduled by email, so curators, marketing and management see the result of each opening without manual counting.

    Are the visitor counts anonymous and GDPR compliant?

    Yes. The 3D stereo, time of flight and AI camera sensors measure height and movement and produce anonymous counts. No images of identifiable people are stored, which makes museum visitor analytics GDPR friendly by design and easy to explain to visitors, boards and funders. Vemco counts visitors, it does not identify them.

    Which sensors are used in museums?

    Museums use 3D stereo, time of flight and AI camera sensors at entrances, between floors and at gallery doors. Our partners Xovis, Milesight and TDI supply the museum people counter hardware, and VemCount is hardware independent, so existing counters are often reused. Vemco Group has 20+ years of experience, 55,000+ installations in 98+ countries and local offices, with a contractual minimum counting accuracy of 96 percent, typically 98 to 99 percent. Museums are part of our work for Leisure venues.

    We own 17 shopping malls in Denmark, and Vemtenant handles our revenue reports from more than 1,000 stores. The system keeps track of missing reports, automatic reminders and reports, and user management. Credibility and transparency between our malls and the tenants were the most challenging issue, which is now solved.

    We use Vemcount to measure the traffic at our entrances, so we get an idea of where the customers come from and when the number of visitors peaks during a day, week, month or year. This gives us, among other things, a tool for planning our marketing and activity calendar wh subsequently evaluating these activities.

    Over the years, we have tested a handful of different people counting solutions, which unfortunately have disappointed us at every turn. Finally, with help from Vemco Group, we have found the right solution. A valid and good quality solution ensuring that we can optimize our business and measure the performance of our stores.

    We wanted a central solution that could cover all of our department stores in Denmark. We wanted the same system and a hosted solution but managed from one place. It was also a requirement from the beginning that the solution was able to count very accurately. And Vemcount has worked perfectly.

    We wanted people counters in our physical stores so that we could access data and KPIs, such as conversion rates, to help us make action plans that improve the sales process. And Vemco came as a natural solution to this. We have received amazing support and have nothing but praise on our end.

    The most important features for us have been the ability to accurately count how many people pass through both entrances of Jorck’s Passage during the day, as well as the system's operational stability so that we do not have to spend time on downtime. I asked my acquaintances in the mall industry, and they said that Vemco is the provider to use. That's why we chose Vemco.

    While browsing through the different kinds of people counters on the market, it became clear that the Vemco solution was the one, which suited us best. Partly, because of the sensor technology they offer, but also since they were able to deliver vast amounts of data, including accurate live data.

    I was a bit cheeky to ask Vemco if it was possible to merge sales data from our online shop with data from our physical stores, and they provided a unique solution. Today, we have an absolutely fantastic tool - I can see how many visitors we have, I can see our turnover per hour, and this way, I can measure the impact of every single penny we invest in our marketing.

    We contacted Vemco Group because we felt that it looked simple, it seemed to fit our needs, and it simply felt like a reliable solution. Our biggest challenge was that we had no idea what our conversion rate looked like. We used to rely on our gut feeling, and that's not a very data-driven approach. Additionally, we couldn’t figure out why certain things stood out in sales, why we had fewer visitors at certain times, and so on. Now we can see it very easily.

The simplicity of being able to access precise data, which our operations and management team need to properly resource plan and schedule resources, is key.
