Read full description

The most full featured occupancy tracking application (by far) in the App Store -- design to help efficiently manage the reopening of retail, dining, college campuses, workplaces, public buildings, attractions, venues and more. Occupancy Alert is built for enterprise scale roll-out with multi-location, multi-user, multi-use case support. But simple enough to support single location mom-and-pop. Automatically (requires people counting hardware) or manually track occupancy with precision. Set and adjust occupancy maximums and guidelines evolve. Configure location specific occupancy alerting thresholds and let individual users subscribe to the push notifications they need for their role. Create and manage user accounts and permission levels from an easy web interface. Surface occupancy information to your customers via on-site screens or web content --including seamlessly embedding real-time occupancy on your own web site. DETAIL The Occupancy Alert app includes functionality for associates to facilitate streamlined management of safe occupancy levels. Customer facing views, appropriate for digital signage, displaying current occupancy levels on standalone web pages or embedded as an inline frame (iframe) on your own web site are also present. Customer views include a stop sign indicating safe entry, single day hourly occupancy forecast, full week occupancy forecast and other helpful occupancy information modules. Occupancy Alert is compatible with any type of physical environment -- from single to multi entrance/exit and standard doorways to gigantic entry points. Different app configurations support either a single user tracking a single location or if you need to grant access to multiple users and/or configure multiple locations.
