About
Xovis is a market-leading provider of intelligent people flow and people counting solutions, combining advanced 3D sensor hardware with cloud-based analytics software. The platform is designed for high-demand environments including airport terminals, retail stores, transit networks, museums, and smart buildings, enabling organizations to understand, manage, and optimize how people move through physical spaces. At the core of Xovis' offering is its PF-Series sensor hardware, which delivers coverage areas up to 8x larger than its predecessor PC-Series, with processing power 10x faster and plug-and-play setup. On-sensor KPIs provide instant insights without additional infrastructure. The platform integrates seamlessly with existing counting and operations systems via API. Key capabilities include real-time queue detection, passenger flow management from curb to gate, automatic passenger counting (APC) for public transit, and visitor analytics for museums and retail. The Xovis Airport Software suite provides a complete Passenger Flow Management System, while retail solutions help measure customer engagement, dwell time, and store performance. Xovis is built with a strong emphasis on privacy, safety, and comfort, anonymizing individuals while delivering precise aggregate flow data. It is used by enterprise customers across Europe and beyond for route planning, fare allocation, resource optimization, and capacity management. Xovis is the ideal solution for operations teams, city planners, and facility managers who need accurate, real-time people movement intelligence at scale.
