What is meant by measuring affluence?
Footfall, occupancy rates, load factors, waiting times
The data you can measure using intelligent, high-performance people counting systems is vast, and depends on your establishment's performance indicators.
​
You may also need to measure people, vehicles, cars, bicycles, and maybe even animals!
Here are a few definitions to help you:
-
Attendance: the number of people entering your venue
-
Occupancy rate: generally expressed as a percentage, this is the number of people (entering and leaving) at a given time compared with the total capacity of your venue
-
Load factor: generally expressed as a level of affluence (low, medium or high density)
Why count your visitors?
To improve the reception of visitors
​
By counting your visitors' entries and exits and calculating the occupancy rate of your spaces, you have an overall view of the capacity of your facility and your spaces in general.
​
By opting for our people counting systems, reliable and intelligent sensors, adaptable to any configuration, you are ready to face any situation. You know how to anticipate crowds thanks to both the attendance history accessible from the Affluences administration portal and our predictive analysis algorithm that provides you with attendance forecasts for the whole day or even the week.
​
By communicating this information in real time to your audience, you build loyalty and smooth your flows at the same time!
​
To optimise the staff
​
By knowing your visitor flows precisely, you can adapt your staff according to the number of visitors expected: increase staff numbers on the busiest days, reduce them or assign them tasks other than reception on the quietest days.
​
It also means directing staff to the most frequented areas thanks to a real-time display of the traffic gauge per area (e.g. exhibition halls in museums or public squares in city centres).
​
To optimize the spaces
​
The other advantage of our people counting systems is to know exactly when and how your spaces are used. You can then make adjustments according to how they are used on a daily basis.
​
Attendance information, both real-time and historical, will enable you to adapt your reception strategy: should you install more reception desks? More chairs and tables? Do you need to enlarge the spaces? These are all questions that you can answer thanks to our counters and our dataview interface.
To optimise the global performance of your structure
By having a global vision of the use of your spaces, you have the keys in hand to rethink your schedules, which are sometimes unsuitable for the uses of your visitors. This is indeed an essential aspect of your establishment's reception strategy which, if neglected, can have harmful consequences in the long term and result in a significant drop in visitor numbers.
​
At the same time, the current context invites us to be increasingly cautious with regard to space measurement. Our limit alerts feature will simplify the daily life of your staff by automating checks on the number of people in your spaces.
"The Affluences solution gives us automatically and everyday, indicators on the museum's crowd and waiting time. This enable us to have an optimal organisation of the flows of visitors."
— Alban Lionnet, Director of Quality and Internal Audit
"Affluences is a complete solution that allows us to measure the affluence of the water lines in our basin
sportsman, to predict the attendance on the current day, to manage it via an intuitive interface and above all to communicate it to our public via multiple channels. The improvement of the comfort of our users is fully guaranteed!"
—Eve MELCA-SAIDJ, Sports Director of Neuilly-sur-Seine
"We have been working with Affluences since 2016 and we are fully satisfied with this innovative solution which allows us to better manage our student flows in our libraries. The data reported by the counters is particularly relevant and saves us considerable time on a daily basis. The team is very responsive and knew how to transform our needs into solutions."
— Marc Martinez, Director of Libraries
