This milestone is a testament to our willingness to listen to market requirements. The Patron Traffic Counter (PTC) was created after multiple libraries approached us with a need for a simple yet powerful solution to track library footfall effectively.
The success of PTC is driven by its robust hardware design, state-of-the-art software features, and ready-to-use multiple integrations. More importantly, it reflects the dedication of our product team, which has ensured that PTC meets the needs of a wide range of libraries.
We would like to sincerely thank our early patrons and the library community for their unparalleled support over the years. Their continuous feedback has helped us evolve and improve the product consistently.
How does the Patron Traffic Counter system work?
Replace paper registers
PTC replaces traditional paper registers used to mark IN and OUT entries of patrons at library entrances. It digitizes footfall data and makes it available department-wise, branch-wise, and usage-type-wise.
Know who is using the library
With detailed MIS reports, the PTC system helps libraries identify which departments or branches are using the library more—or less—allowing them to align services with actual usage patterns.
Understand library usage
PTC provides insights into what attracts patrons to the library. Whether it is the reference section, reading areas, or book circulation, libraries gain clarity on how resources are being utilized.
Identify areas of improvement
For academic libraries, footfall statistics reveal opportunities to improve engagement. If a particular department or branch shows low usage, libraries can take targeted initiatives such as awareness sessions to improve participation.
Enforce fair usage policy
PTC also supports Fair Usage Policies by triggering notifications when library services are being misused, helping maintain discipline and equitable access.
