What It Is

Solva peoplecounting’s Live Occupancy Solution is a real-time occupancy and footfall monitoring system for physical venues. It was originally built around Covid-era entrance monitoring, social distancing, and maximum-capacity control, but the page also clearly highlights that its data can be used for footfall analysis, operational optimization, visitor experience, employee safety, and managing new KPIs. So under a marketing/SEO category, it is better understood as a data foundation for offline marketing and store operations analytics rather than a traditional search engine optimization tool.

Core Features and Data

The system continuously calculates and monitors how many people may enter based on venue size, layout, traffic through multiple entrances, visitor count, and dwell time. Visitors can see whether entry is allowed via displays, TVs, kiosks, or digital signage, while managers can view real-time occupancy through a mobile dashboard. The system supports threshold alerts, including Email, Push Notifications, and WhatsApp alerting, and also provides reports, charts, historical data, API access, and data analysis capabilities. Data can come from the user’s existing people counting devices, counters, cameras, or a system provided by Solva, but the page does not disclose a hardware compatibility list, accuracy figures, or data scale.

Pricing and Trial

Pricing is based on a monthly subscription. Free is €0/month; Covid+ is €12/month; Reporting is €30/month; Management info is €45/month. Features increase with higher-tier plans, such as multiple users, WhatsApp alerts, Widgets, Reporting, Graphing, Data-history, API, and Data Analysis. The page also states that the “first 3 months are free,” making the entry cost relatively low.

Pros and Cons

The strengths are fast deployment, with the vendor claiming it can go live in minutes; the ability to reuse existing hardware, which suits stores that already have footfall counting devices; and coverage of entrance management, employee safety, and operational analytics in one system. The drawbacks are that the public information is fairly limited: it does not explain payment methods, service support, privacy compliance, data retention periods, nor does it provide specific customer cases or a list of supported hardware models.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is suitable for retail stores, showrooms, public reception spaces, and chain operations teams, for use cases such as capacity control, queue management, offline event footfall assessment, and staffing reference. Access from China cannot be determined from the page content alone, so it should be marked as unknown; whether it supports domestic Chinese bank cards or invoicing is also not disclosed. If local deployment is required, it may be worth comparing FootfallCam, V-Count, RetailNext, or domestic smart-store footfall analytics solutions.
