The Shift in People Counting Solutions
For years, resellers have supplied retailers, malls, and attractions with standard people counting solutions. This process has become predictable and transactional—buyers expect the same KPIs, while sellers deliver them with little discussion. Both sides understand the numbers. However, is the conversation really evolving?
Traditional footfall counting has stagnated. Businesses still receive data on total visitor numbers, dwell time, and conversion rates. But these figures alone don’t tell the full story. The industry now requires a consultative shift. This shift means moving beyond simple metrics to understanding how people actually engage with a space.
Evolving Your Selling Strategy
This change isn’t solely about attracting new clients. It’s also an opportunity to refresh relationships with past customers who may now desire these new insights. Businesses that have relied on traditional footfall data will need to evolve, making them prime targets for reseller outreach.
Benefits of a Consultative Approach
Resellers who adopt this new consultative method can expect to:
Re-engage previous clients by demonstrating how advanced behavioral analytics can improve decision-making.
Win new customers who demand deeper insights beyond basic people counting.
Position themselves competitively against firms still offering outdated footfall metrics.
Now is the time to change the selling conversation. We must shift from transactional pitches to thought leadership. This will help customers redefine what truly matters in their visitor data.
The Missing Puzzle: Understanding TrueAccuracy
Traditional counting methods often fail to distinguish between unique visitors, repeat customers, staff, or passers-through. This lack of visibility can lead to flawed business decisions and missed opportunities.
Uncovering Deeper Behavioral Insights
Our innovative capability introduces unique visitor tracking and shopper journey analysis. This helps unlock deeper behavioral insights, including:
True Conversion Rate: Track actual purchasing opportunities, not just total footfall.
Shopper Journey Insights: Identify movement patterns. Understand which areas are visited, how sales processes unfold, and whether pre-defined customer journeys are followed.
Repeat Customer Behavior: Measure loyalty and return rates over multiple occasions.
Service Efficiency Metrics: Optimize staff interactions based on movement patterns inside key locations.
With TrueAccuracy, we move beyond sterile numbers to real-world actionable insights. This approach empowers businesses to make better decisions rather than relying on potentially misleading traffic data.

Retailers, malls, and other attractions want more than just numbers—they want insights that drive actionable strategies.
Emphasizing the Importance of Analytics
With the advancements in technology, the ability to collect data has never been easier. However, translating this data into meaningful insights remains a challenge. The focus should be on creating a narrative that informs decision-making. By emphasizing consulting over mere selling, resellers can become invaluable partners in this evolving narrative.
Building Relationships with Clients
Engaging with clients on a deeper level will undoubtedly lead to long-lasting relationships. By providing unparalleled insights, resellers can position themselves as leaders in the industry. Clients prefer working with partners who understand their needs and deliver solutions that make a difference.
