by Angie Michelini 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

As a follow-up to today's SenSource webinar on their people counter products, Brendon at SenSource has provided some information including the following: 1) Powerpoint slides 2) Project Scope Survey form - if your library is interested in a quote, please complete the attached survey form and email that to me for the quote 3) Pre-recorded demo video: [ https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__youtu.be_VJUzvUTjzYw&d… ] [ https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__youtu.be_VJUzvUTjzYw&d… | https://youtu.be/VJUzvUTjzYw ] The first half of the video will focus more on the SafeSpace Real-Time Occupancy Monitoring Feature and the sensor itself. The second half (around the 11:30 mark) will start diving into the Vea reporting platform. There may be references to the retail market in the video, but the concepts and majority of the reporting will be the same regardless of the market (i.e. retail, libraries, etc.). 4) Product questions: Brendon Badway, SenSource Inc., 800-239-1226 ext. 129, bbadway(a)sensourceinc.com TLN and SenSource have a discount pricing agreement that is all available to all public libraries in Michigan. This is for new customers only. Existing customers who wish to upgrade or add additional products should reach out to their assigned SenSource Account Manager. To take advantage of the discount, please send the completed survey form to me. I'll then provide you with a quote and request your authorization for purchase. The order will go through TLN so your library will realize the discount but you would contact SenSource direct for support and schedule the initial installation with them direct. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.
