How CrowdSense works when you are the one holding the budget
You are not shopping for a dashboard. You need numbers a sponsor, a council or an investor will believe, without adding a science project to an already-full production week.
Who this is for
Independent producers, promoters, touring shows, brand agencies running activations, and anyone who has to explain the crowd to someone who was not there.
A first conversation is a working session on your event, not a product tour. If we are the wrong fit we will say so in that meeting, not after a six-week trial.
What the first event actually looks like
Not a rollout plan. The shape of one event, done properly.
- 01
You tell us the event, not a spec
We start with what you are running and what you have to prove. Cameras, nodes and APIs come after that, once we know the job.
- 02
A demo on your site plan
We walk occupancy, dwell and queues on a layout that looks like yours. If you only have a muddy site map, we still use it. Generic venues teach you nothing.
- 03
A scoped first event, not a platform rollout
One weekend, a handful of zones, a named operator on your side. We would rather do a small event properly than sell you a season you cannot staff.
- 04
Numbers you can hand to someone else
Debrief packs a sponsor or a board can read without us in the room. Live numbers stay in the control room and the companion app where the crew actually are.
Questions we will actually ask
These are the same questions in the demo form. We ask them because the answers change the kit, the room, and who needs to sit in.
We will ask
What would make this a yes?
If the answer is “a number the naming-rights sponsor will accept”, the demo is dwell and catchments, not a camera catalogue.
Question 1
We will ask
How many events this year, and do they tour?
A one-off and a season are different jobs. Touring wants a kit list that survives a truck, not a venue install.
Question 2
We will ask
Who else sits in the decision?
We will not waste a meeting that needed the venue manager and the safety officer in the room.
Question 3
We will ask
What did you try last time?
Clickers, a steward’s guess, a CCTV vendor’s occupancy overlay - knowing that stops us pitching something you already know does not work.
Question 4
Straight answers
Do I need cameras already in the venue?
No. Sense Nodes read anonymous Bluetooth already in the crowd and do not need cameras. If you do have CCTV we can use it. If you do not, we will not invent a reason to sell you some.
How much production time does a first event take?
A scoped weekend is usually a site walk, a kit plan, and a named person on the radio. We do not ask your production team to become analysts. If the event cannot spare that, we will say so rather than squeeze in.
Can sponsors see the numbers without seeing the control room?
Yes. Live ops stay with the crew. Sponsors get the debrief: dwell, catchments, which activation actually held people. We will not put a sponsor laptop on the same screen the safety officer is watching.
What if the date is three weeks away?
Say so in the form. Sometimes a short lead is still doable with Sense Nodes and a small zone list. Sometimes it is not. We would rather lose the work than arrive unprepared.
What do you collect about the people in the crowd?
We measure crowds, not people. Our sensors count and classify — they do not identify. No facial recognition, no biometric identification of people. Ever. What leaves a camera node is counts and events, not video.
Rather talk it through first?
Book a time and your answers come with you, or call the office line. Either way you get the person who reads the enquiries.
