WiFi analytics questions

What does Purple WiFi analytics measure?

Purple WiFi analytics measures footfall (visitor count), dwell time, repeat visit rate, peak occupancy by hour and day, and visitor-to-staff ratio. Data is captured passively from device probe signals on your existing access points - no extra hardware is required for most Cisco Meraki, HPE Aruba, Ruckus, Juniper Mist, Ubiquiti UniFi, Cambium, Extreme, or Fortinet deployments.

How does WiFi analytics support location tracking in a venue?

Purple maps zone-level dwell time and visitor flow across your floor plan. You can see which areas attract the most footfall, identify under-utilised spaces, and compare occupancy by day, week, or season - all from probe data your access points already broadcast, without requiring Bluetooth beacons or additional sensors.

Does Purple WiFi analytics comply with GDPR and UK data protection rules?

Yes. Purple anonymises device MAC addresses before storage, does not build persistent profiles of identifiable individuals, and processes data within the UK and EEA under a signed Data Processing Agreement. Venue operators receive aggregate analytics - footfall counts, average dwell time, zone occupancy - not personally identifiable tracking records.

How does WiFi analytics data integrate with my existing tools?

Purple connects to CRM platforms, POS systems, and marketing tools via webhooks, REST API, and native integrations. Common patterns include passing footfall data to Salesforce or HubSpot for marketing ROI attribution, correlating dwell time with POS revenue in retail, and feeding occupancy figures to building management dashboards.

How accurate is Purple footfall data compared to door counters?

WiFi probe-based footfall typically reaches 80-90% of door-counter accuracy in high-density consumer environments, and exceeds door counters for multi-zone dwell and repeat-visit analysis (metrics door counters cannot capture at all). Accuracy is highest in venues where visitors carry smartphones - retail, hospitality, stadiums, and healthcare waiting areas.
