Accelerator Art Hall Leverages Data to Improve Visitor Engagement

Stockholm University's art hall, Accelerator, has chosen CountMatters' visitor analytics to optimize its visitor experience. By implementing advanced foot traffic technology, the venue can collect real-time data on attendance, enabling better space management and improved audience engagement.

Understanding visitor behavior is essential for cultural institutions looking to provide seamless experiences. With the insights provided by CountMatters, Accelerator can optimize staffing, enhance exhibit accessibility, and ensure compliance with safety regulations.

Why Foot Traffic Data is Crucial for Cultural Spaces

Visitor analytics isn’t just about counting people—it’s about enhancing engagement and operational efficiency. Institutions like museums and art galleries need real-time data to make informed decisions about:

• Managing peak hours to avoid overcrowding.
• Optimizing exhibit placement based on visitor flow.
• Improving marketing campaigns with data-driven insights.
• Enhancing accessibility by understanding visitor movement patterns.

“Knowing when and how people visit allows us to improve planning and enhance the visitor experience,” says Tove Nilson, Communications Manager at Accelerator.

Leveraging 3D Sensor Technology for Precision Analytics

The visitor counters chosen by Accelerator utilize 3D sensor technology, allowing the institution to differentiate between adults, children, and group visits. The system also provides real-time occupancy data, ensuring that exhibitions and installations remain accessible and engaging.

With GDPR-compliant solutions, CountMatters ensures that all collected data is anonymized while still offering valuable insights into visitor patterns.
