WaitTime’s crowd intelligence software is uniquely positioned to transform the temporary event space—whether it’s a music festival, sporting event, or pop-up experience.

WaitTime's four patented algorithms have multiple use cases to give operations personnel live data on crowd movement, density, & occupancy. All while providing guests the information they need to navigate the event by integrating the software seamlessly into guest-facing platforms like digital displays and mobile apps.
Temporary event use cases:

Ingress: Real-time and historical documentation on crowd density at ingress points help guests enter and exit the facilities safely and efficiently.
Occupancy Tracking: Track guest foot traffic to manage capacity in real-time as well as define key business metrics like busiest times, average occupancy, and total foot traffic.

Queue Monitoring: Help guests distribute by sharing crowd information in real-time with patrons on digital way-finding. Determine key business metrics like average number of people in line by stand, busiest areas, under utilized areas, and attrition rates.
Density: Monitor crowd densities in areas that have low
ceilings, are exterior, or existing cameras.
Anonymous Guest Experience Journey: Collect anonymous data by tracking behavior to align business strategies to actual information rather than assumptions.
Our partners like HPE are bringing these use cases to life, making these solutions possible and successful. Read about it.
WaitTime’s approach is seriously impressive. Managing crowds in real-time can change the whole event experience for the better. It’s nice seeing tech making things smoother instead of more complicated. And honestly, when I get home after a long event day, playing some basketball legends feels like the perfect cooldown, smooth flow is important in games too.
