    Our experience has been a 15/10.

    Mike is incredibly efficient and very knowledgeable and patient.

    Positive

    The only con that I would have is that it cannot integrate to the main page of Heartland, but that is on Heartland, not SMS.

    Negative

    Reliance on app for initial setup. Otherwise, no complaints.

    Great Product and Service

    Date: Oct 03 2024
    Summary

    We ordered this device for our retail store and it works great. Not only was it easy to set up, but we were contacted by a customer success representative who gave a tutorial on the website and all of the reporting that’s available. Then they followed up for a second call to make sure everything was working, to see if we had questions, and to show us more in-depth reports. The counter does more that we had anticipated and will be a great tool for schedule shifts and break times. Don’t skip the tutorials or you will miss out on all the potential this has. Thank you, Sayantani, for being such a great resource, your service was excellent!

    Positive

    The device was easy to set up, it comes with very clear directions, and the customer service for onboarding was exceptional. We worked with Sayantani and she was very helpful with showing us how to set up reports. With the reporting not only do we have a daily count, but we see averages by the day and even by the hour which is helpful for scheduling shifts and break times.

    Negative

    The device does everything we needed and more with all the reporting, We really don't have a con.

    Great for counting laundromat traffic

    Date: Sep 27 2024
    Summary

    Overall the traffic counter has provided real time insight into my business traffic that has helped me make more informed decisions.

    Positive

    The physical installation was very simple and the WiFi connection was an easy setup as well. My router is far away from the front door so had some connectivity issues initially but the SMS customer service team was responsive in solving the issue by recommending a WiFi extender which solved the problem. I have had the traffic counter in place at my laundromat for almost a year and it's worked flawlessly. I am able to see update traffic counts every 15 min into the store. This data has helped me know which days to be open longer to better serve customers.

    Negative

    I pay for the online subscription to have access to more than 4 weeks of historical data. The online reporting tools aren't as user friendly as I would like but nothing that an export to Excel can't fix.

    Summary

    Everything has been great thus far. We've been up and running at our location for 6+ months with no interruption to services with the device. Once you're online and running you are good to go!

    Positive

    Very easy to setup and get online. Great people and support to work with. We worked with the sales and support team so they could better understand our business need. From there, they recommended The 3D SCOPE II LC AI-Powered People Counter and it fit perfectly with what we were trying to do. We quickly received the product and their onboarding team helped us set up the device quickly to begin monitoring our traffic flows.

    Negative

    Super, easy product

    Date: Feb 29 2024
    Summary

    I really like this product and the customer support that SMS Storetraffic gives to us. They devices are simple, and the reports are super.

    Positive

    I like the software automatically sending me reports on the counts as well as telling me when there's an outage of some kind. The reports are gold.

    Negative

    It take a bit of muscle to get the individual units out and back in their holders when changing batteries. It's difficult, but the trade off is they're secure.

    SMS Store Traffic- TMAS Software

    Date: Apr 12 2023
    Summary

    Will be an integral part of our strategy to grow our business. Having these metrics to refer back will be incredibly valuable and I love having so much data, down to the weather each day to help make staffing decisions and guide my coaching to my retail team.

    Positive

    - Having an initial training and then a follow up a month or so later was really helpful because I could make a list of questions that came up as I was utilizing the TMAS software
    - The "?" on each report leading to a help section article on that report was really helpful as I was learning, as well as having a chat available for anything I was unable to locate in the help section
    -Being able to schedule reports to send automatically is really nice and saves time weekly
    - Utilizing these reports has been extremely helpful to identify training opportunities within our staff and make staffing decisions based on traffic trends
    -As a smaller business that doesn't need to utilize all the reports being able to hide unnecessary ones makes it much easier to navigate to the most used reports

    Negative

    - As a small business with only 4 locations, I'd love a more streamlined report that graphs all four stores performances together on a bar graph or pie graph (depending on the metric) to give an "at a glance" view of month end or quarter end performance of stores compared to each other. So it could be similar to the four graphs report but shows all four stores sales in one pie graph showing which has the highest percentage, show each store's % sold in another, etc. So its a quick easy to navigate over view, easier to picture than a list of numbers in a table at month end to try and compare.

    - More integration with scheduling software. I manually enter staffing daily so being able to have that auto populate based on our timesheets would be great and save me some time. Having the sales per staff hour and other metrics related to staffing is really awesome but it would be great to have it automatic (we use WhenIWork for scheduling and time sheets)

    Summary

    What was most helpful to me was the onboarding training provided with the tool. The training was geared to our application and saved us countless hours in getting up to speed using the tool.

    Positive

    I have found SMS Store traffic to be a game changer in the information it can provide to help make critical business decisions such as proper store staffing, how weather impacts store traffic, and the impact of marketing campaigns on store traffic.

    SMS Store Traffic made me feel like more than just a customer. Their customer success team made sure that I fully understood the system, and they also asked for details about my business so that I could use our laser counter & the reporting to its fullest.

    Easy installation. Fantastic reporting! Customer success was stupendous!!! All my questions were answered immediately. The cost of the Pearl Counter was very affordable for what it provides, and the TMAS software was extremely affordable too.

    Great Traffic Counter Solution

    Date: Dec 09 2022
    Summary

    Our overall experience has been excellent. SMS is diligent and efficient in customer service and support and I would recommend them as a traffic counting solution to any business looking to accurately track entries and exits.

    Positive

    - Two different traffic counter solutions depending on the need at the location you need to install it in, camera based and light beam. This allows great flexibility and scalability of the platform as a solution.
    - More importantly, the support in initial setup of the hardware is great.
    Hardware setup instructions are well documented and easily searchable on the SMS support site. If you do have issues, their support team is knowledgeable and incredibly responsive in the online chat on their support site. Even before we purchased the platform, their technical support team patiently answered my questions regarding the setup and implementation needs so I could understand the platform better before committing to buy. After purchase I have experienced the same level of support. The hardware ordered from their site ships in a timely manner, often the same day it's ordered. As we have added devices in our environment, SMS has helped with initial setup and calibration as well as monitoring for anomalies after install. Any time I have had a question it has been answered quickly and professionally. The partnership we have seen from them is among the best we have experienced in a third party provider. The reporting platform is robust and their API makes it easy to integrate into your BI tool of choice.

    Negative

    I have found very few cons when working with the team at SMS. The TMAS platform while robust is not the most intuitive, however, the onboarding training and ongoing readily available support offsets any challenges for us.
