Product description

SonoBeacon helps public transport operators better understand how people move through stations, vehicles and stops. Our solution works in three steps: SENSE – Small sensors (SonoEdge) detect anonymous signals from smartphones to measure how many people are present, how long they stay and where they go. DESIGN – The data is sent to a secure platform (SonoCloud), where it is processed and shown in clear dashboards. ACT – With expert support (SonoAdvice), transport providers can adjust services, reduce overcrowding and improve the passenger experience. Everything is GDPR-compliant and easy to set up.
