Retail Wireless Door Counter Verification

Daily inspection template for verifying retail wireless door counter accuracy, count conversion, and traffic pattern consistency.

Inspection Identification

• Store location identified
  Record the store number, site name, or location code for the inspection.
• Inspection date and time recorded
  Capture the date and time the verification was completed.
• Inspector name and role recorded
  Enter the name and job title of the person completing the verification.
• Counter device ID or asset tag recorded
  Record the wireless door counter device identifier, asset tag, or gateway ID.
• Entrance or door monitored identified
  Specify the entrance, vestibule, or door zone covered by the counter.

Device Status and Connectivity

• Counter is powered and operational
  Verify the device is on, responsive, and reporting data.
• Wireless connection is stable
  Confirm the counter is connected to the network or gateway without signal loss or repeated disconnects.
• Battery level or power supply is within acceptable range
  Record battery percentage or power status and verify it is sufficient for uninterrupted operation.
• Device indicator lights or status display normal
  Confirm the device shows normal status indicators with no error codes or fault alerts.
• Mounting position secure and unobstructed
  Verify the counter is firmly mounted and not blocked by signage, fixtures, seasonal displays, or debris.

Count Accuracy and Conversion

• Observed entries compared to system count
  Record the number of observed entries during the verification window and compare it to the device count.
• Observed exits compared to system count
  Record the number of observed exits during the verification window and compare it to the device count, if the counter tracks bidirectional traffic.
• Count conversion factor verified
  Confirm the current conversion setting used to translate raw sensor events into traffic counts.
• Count variance within acceptable tolerance
  Verify the difference between observed traffic and system count is within the site tolerance for the verification window.
• Duplicate counts or missed counts observed
  Check for obvious double-counting, missed passes, tailgating artifacts, or counts triggered by non-customer movement.

Traffic Pattern Consistency

• Traffic pattern aligns with expected store activity
  Confirm the count pattern is consistent with expected customer flow for the time of day, day of week, promotions, and weather conditions.
• Directional flow appears consistent
  Verify entry and exit patterns are logical and consistent with the store layout and customer movement through the monitored zone.
• Peak traffic spike has a documented explanation
  If a spike or drop is present, document whether it is explained by a sale event, staffing change, delivery activity, or other known cause.
• Non-customer traffic affecting counts identified
  Check whether employees, vendors, cleaning crews, carts, or equipment movement may have affected the count data.
• Entrance area remains clear for safe customer flow
  Verify the monitored entrance and egress path are free of obstructions that could interfere with traffic counting or safe movement. Consider OSHA 29 CFR 1910 general industry walking-working surface expectations and NFPA 101 egress principles where applicable.

Exceptions, Corrective Action, and Sign-Off

• Deficiencies documented
  Record any device faults, count discrepancies, conversion issues, or traffic anomalies identified during the inspection.
• Corrective action assigned
  Describe the corrective action, responsible person, and target completion time for any deficiency or non-conformance.
• Follow-up verification required
  Indicate whether a recheck is needed after recalibration, battery replacement, network repair, or device repositioning.
• Inspector signature
  Inspector signs to confirm the verification is complete and accurate.
