The only people-counter in the category that ships zero-CapEx, prices like a SaaS subscription, and discards device identifiers on the Collector itself. Built for SMB retail, market stalls, kiosks, mid-market chains and high-street independents — the segment everyone else has priced out.

Reports density and trend by zone — including the outside-catchment fringe showing what's not coming into your shop. Not an absolute unique-visitor counter for long windows; that pitch is dead post-MAC-randomisation, and we say so.

Three honest answers

"We already have cameras for loss prevention — why do we need this?"

Camera footfall counts your front door. We give you density across the floor and the outside-catchment fringe — what's not coming in. Different question, complementary answer.

"Wi-Fi tracking — isn't that what got retailers into trouble in the past?"

Yes, and that's why we discard MACs on the Collector. Nothing leaves it that could be a person. We'll send the architectural diagram and DPIA template before the meeting.

"Your accuracy claim is lower than ShopperTrak's 99%."

ShopperTrak counts a controlled doorway under good lighting. We count density across a zone where modern phones rotate MACs every few minutes. We publish the curves; anyone quoting 99% on multi-minute Wi-Fi is fingerprinting (CNIL says no), using a captive portal (consent-chain risk), or hoping you don't ask.
