Footfall · occupancy · space intelligence

Count people. Understand how places are actually used.

ENVIQON People Counting turns entrance traffic and occupancy signals into practical decisions for retail, facilities, workplaces and public venues. Measure demand, identify peak periods, compare sites and use evidence to improve staffing, space and service levels.

Technical illustration of entrance people counting, occupancy zones and space utilisation data
Deployment pattern

Survey first, then mount the counter to suit the space and accuracy requirement.

01Survey the geometry

Confirm entrance width, ceiling height, traffic direction, zones and any privacy or network constraints before selecting the position.

02Match mounting to the counter

Use planned ceiling or lintel mounting for entrance counting and wireless ceiling or magnetic placement for occupancy/presence where suitable.

03Validate with a walk test

Run controlled passes or occupancy checks to confirm direction, count accuracy, zones and the data feed before handover.

Not just a door counter. Connect footfall and occupancy data to staffing, space, cleaning and portfolio decisions.

01 / Why it matters

Replace guesswork with measured demand.

People data becomes valuable when it changes a decision. ENVIQON focuses on the operational question behind the count.

01
Count

Measure entries, exits and traffic through selected entrances, corridors and zones.

02
Understand

See peak periods, occupancy, dwell patterns and differences between locations.

03
Act

Adjust staffing, cleaning, layouts, opening patterns and facility resources.

04
Prove

Track whether operational changes improve conversion, utilisation or service levels.

02 / Commercial use cases

Different sectors buy people data for different reasons.

The sensor is the input. The commercial outcome is better deployment of space, staff and resources.

RETAIL

Footfall → conversion intelligence

Compare visitor traffic with transactions, identify peak periods, evaluate campaigns and understand which locations attract the strongest demand.

OFFICE

Occupancy → space decisions

Measure actual use across floors, rooms and shared areas before expanding, consolidating or redesigning workspace.

FACILITY

Usage → service delivery

Use traffic and occupancy to support demand-led cleaning, staffing and resource allocation across customer buildings.

PUBLIC

Visitor flow → safer operations

Understand movement and capacity patterns across libraries, museums, education, events and other high-footfall environments.

03 / What ENVIQON delivers

From raw counts to portfolio intelligence.

Footfall

In / out counting

Entrance and passage counts with time-based trends and site comparisons.

Occupancy

Live space utilisation

Understand whether selected spaces are occupied and how usage changes through the day.

Operations

Peak-time analysis

Identify busy periods to support staffing and operational planning.

Portfolio

Multi-site benchmarking

Compare stores, buildings, floors or entrances through one common dashboard.

Facilities

Usage-led services

Trigger or review cleaning and facility activity using actual demand rather than fixed schedules.

Integration

Bring in business context

Combine people data with sales, bookings, IAQ or other operational information where integration is available.

04 / Sensor configurations

The right counter depends on the space.

ENVIQON scopes the entrance width, mounting height, environment and analytics requirement before selecting hardware.

P
Privacy-conscious deployment

Use anonymous counting technologies where appropriate and assess each deployment against customer policy and applicable privacy requirements. The selected sensor technology and configuration determine the privacy characteristics.

Entrance counter

High-accuracy entrance counting

For retail, building entrances and other locations where bidirectional counting, regional analysis or dwell-time insight is required.

Typical: entrances · retail · buildings
Occupancy analytics

Occupancy + multi-zone use

For workplaces and larger indoor areas where the requirement goes beyond a simple doorway count.

Typical: offices · shared spaces · zones
Passage counter

Passage and corridor counting

For traffic measurement through passages and selected internal circulation points.

Typical: corridors · internal flow
Wireless occupancy

Flexible occupancy deployment

For selected rooms or areas where wireless occupancy sensing is the better fit for the building and use case.

Typical: rooms · FM · workspace
05 / Connectivity

Gateway where it makes sense. Edge integration where it doesn't.

People-sensing projects are not all technically identical. Wireless occupancy and selected people-counting sensors can use the ENVIQON gateway architecture, while some high-accuracy entrance counters use other network interfaces and are integrated into the same ENVIQON analytics layer.

One dashboard should not force every physical sensor to use the same transport.
ENVIQON keeps the customer experience common while selecting the appropriate sensing and connectivity model for each site.
06 / Target markets

Strong where physical demand affects revenue or operating cost.
