viewneo flowCounter: automated visitor management

Düsseldorf, 21 January 2025 — viewneo has introduced flowCounter, an automated visitor-management tool that turns an ordinary tablet at the entrance into a real-time people counter — so a shop, clinic, or public building always knows how many visitors are inside without a member of staff counting at the door.

Managing how many people are in a space is a recurring need well beyond any single event: retailers want to understand footfall, public buildings have occupancy limits, and reception teams want to stop tallying visitors by hand. flowCounter registers each entry and exit and keeps a running count, which can be displayed on screen or used to trigger other content — for example, a clear “please wait” or “come in” message at the door.

Because flowCounter runs as part of viewneo, the same screens that show the current count can also carry everything else a space already displays: opening hours, wayfinding, offers, or safety notices. There is no separate counting system to install and reconcile — the count lives in the same account as the rest of the content, managed by the same team.

The tool pairs naturally with viewneo’s digital door and room signage solution, where entrance displays, room status, and a visitor waiting system already work together. For organisations that need to combine occupancy awareness with everyday information on the same screens, flowCounter adds a measurable layer without new hardware beyond a tablet.
