Footfall Trends

Footfall Trends and its components provide an aggregated anaylsis of historical data across site and time periods, delivering high-level insight into trends, patterns, and performance over-time.

A variety of footfall trends are available:

• Live Dashboard,
• Weekly Footfall Trends,
• Monthly Footfall Trends,
• Annual Footfall Trends.

Each option provides a different level of aggregation, from real-time analytics through to long-term trends (weekly, monthly, and yearly).

The Live Dashboard is useful for real-time monitoring, while Weekly and Monthly Trends are typically the most useful starting points for analysing patterns over time. Annual Trends are best suited for long-term comparisons.

There are a variety of filters available in Footfall Trends, including:

• Filter by site.
• Filter by year, month, or week

Enabling users to analyse historical data (e.g., 2023 Week 18 for Location 1) as seamlessly as the current week.
