ADI announces global agreement with NowSignage for distribution of PeopleCount solution
ADI Global Distribution, the leading global wholesale distributor of security and AV products, today announces a 22 territory agreement to circulate PeopleCount, a people counting solution developed by NowSignage, the acclaimed UK-based digital signage technology firm.
People Counting solutions are fast becoming the norm across the retail, corporate and education sectors, as a way to help monitor venue capacity and maintain social distancing.
This partnership marks the launch of PeopleCount, a new product that has been brought to market through a collaboration between NowSignage, Philips Professional Display Solutions, and Hikvision.
By onboarding NowSignage, ADI Global Distribution add to their portfolio a digital signage CMS that already has strong alliances with their existing vendor partners, an established customer base in Europe, and a growing reputation across the United States having recently secured multiple key accounts in the country.
Chris Godfrey, Pro AV Product Manager of ADI Global Distribution said: “We are already an authorised global distributor of Hikvision, so this unique integration developed by NowSignage immediately grabbed our attention to fulfill the immediate and growing demand for people counting solutions in a post COVID-19 world. We are very excited by the prospect of this new product bundle, which is available from ADI across our global distribution network.”
“NowSignage has been on our radar for some time now, and although the PeopleCount solution has proven to be the catalyst to start this new vendor relationship, we are very much excited to be providing our customers with their full cloud-based digital signage CMS offering, along with their highly regarded Microsoft Power BIintegration”.
The PeopleCount solution (by NowSignage, Philips Professional Display Solutions, and Hikvision) provides clear benefits over the other similar people counting solutions on the market.
Below are 5 reasons why this is becoming the ‘“go-to” choice for many major brands:
1. Single entrance or multi entrance
2. Data-driven reporting and insight
3. Flexible multi-zone layouts
4. Superior security and compliance
5. Choice of designs and templates
Commenting on the partnership, Richard Hutchinson, Channel Sales Director of NowSignage added: “ADI Global Distribution was the natural choice of partner for NowSignage in taking this exciting and visionary solution to market.
