PTC is a bumper HIT in library footfall tracking
CELECT’s Patron Traffic Counter (PTC) has become a bumper hit with librarians who want to automate library footfall measurement and move away from manual registers.
Here are two examples where PTC is delivering consistent value — it has been successfully used at the Central University of Kerala for more than a year and at Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (SKUAST) for over three months.

What is PTC?
Patron Counting System
CELECT’s Patron Traffic Counter replaces paper-based entry and exit registers with an electronic authentication system, enabling real-time visibility into library footfall and usage patterns.
👍 Compatible with all Library Management Software 👍
Manual registers are time-consuming and do not provide real-time insights. PTC automates patron entry and exit, helping libraries monitor usage, enforce fair policies, and generate actionable statistics for decision-making.
