SalesRotation.app is a free digital up board for dealerships and showrooms. Here's how pairing it with people counting software finally gives you true close rate.

Key Takeaways
- SalesRotation.app is a free sales rotation app and digital up board — no signup, no download, live in about 5 seconds.
- It logs who took each up, how long it lasted, and whether it closed — the sales-side data a people counter can't see.
- People counting software measures total traffic; an up-system measures how much of that traffic actually got greeted.
- Combining both gives you a true conversion rate by salesperson, not just a store-wide close rate.
- Best fit: auto and powersports dealerships, furniture, mattress, and jewelry showrooms with walk-in floor rotations.
People counting software tells you how many people walked in. It does not tell you how many of them were actually greeted, who greeted them, or how long that conversation lasted. On a showroom floor, that gap is where most of the lost revenue lives — and it is exactly the gap that SalesRotation.app is built to close.
What SalesRotation.app Is
SalesRotation.app is a free sales rotation app and digital up board. You type in your salespeople's names and the rotation is live — no account, no credit card, no download. The rep at the top of the queue is next up; when they take a customer the board marks them busy and starts a timer; when they close out they log sold or no sale and drop to the bottom. A free account adds cloud sync, a full walk-in log, and reporting that survives closing the tab.
- Real-time digital up board on phone, tablet, or a floor-facing TV
- Timestamped assignment log — a permanent audit trail of every up
- Custom rotation rules: rotate on no-sale, skip breaks, strict order to end cherry picking
- Manager override controls and multi-location support
- Close rate, revenue, and average time-per-up by salesperson
The Traffic-to-Greeting Gap
Most showrooms run one of two measurement systems, never both. A people counter at the door produces a daily traffic number. A whiteboard by the sales desk produces a rough sense of whose turn it is. Neither one alone answers the question a floor manager actually needs answered: of the people who walked in today, what percentage were greeted within a reasonable window, and by whom?
| Question | People counting software | Up-system (SalesRotation.app) | Both together |
|---|---|---|---|
| How many walked in? | Yes | No | Yes |
| How many were greeted? | No | Yes | Yes |
| Who greeted them? | No | Yes | Yes |
| Time spent per customer | No | Yes | Yes |
| True close rate per rep | No | Partial | Yes |
| Coverage gaps by hour | Partial | Partial | Yes |
Example showroom day: doors counted vs ups logged
- 10am — Visitors counted: 18, Ups logged: 14
- 12pm — Visitors counted: 31, Ups logged: 22
- 2pm — Visitors counted: 44, Ups logged: 25
- 4pm — Visitors counted: 52, Ups logged: 27
- 6pm — Visitors counted: 29, Ups logged: 24
The shape above is the pattern worth hunting for. Traffic and ups track closely in quiet hours and diverge sharply at peak — which means the busiest hours of the day are the hours you are least likely to greet a customer. You cannot see that divergence with a door counter alone, and you cannot see it with an up board alone. You need both series on the same timeline.
Pairing It With People Counting
The practical setup is simple. Keep your entrance sensor doing what it does well — accurate, passive, all-hours traffic counts. Run SalesRotation.app on a tablet at the sales desk so every walk-in gets assigned and timestamped. Then compare the two hourly series at the end of each week.
- Greeting rate = ups logged ÷ visitors counted. Under 60% at peak is a staffing problem, not a closing problem.
- True conversion = sales ÷ visitors counted, not sales ÷ ups. The second number flatters everyone.
- Rep efficiency = close rate against average time-per-up. Fast and low-closing is a qualification issue; slow and high-closing may be worth the floor time.
- Schedule against traffic curves, not against habit — your people counter already knows when the peaks are.
SalesRotation.app as a people-counting companion
Pros
- Free to start with no signup — you can test it on the floor this afternoon
- Adds the sales-side layer a door sensor structurally cannot capture
- Timestamped log settles rotation disputes with data instead of volume
- Works on any device, including a wall-mounted TV
- Multi-location support lines up with multi-site traffic reporting
Cons
- Manual logging — accuracy depends on staff tapping every up
- No native integration with counting sensors yet; comparison is manual today
- Built for walk-in floor rotations, so it is a poor fit for self-serve retail
Features & Fit
SalesRotation.app targets industries where a rep greets the customer at the door: auto dealerships, powersports, furniture, mattress, and jewelry showrooms. Those are also the verticals where an individual up is worth the most, which is why an untracked skipped turn is expensive. If your store is self-serve grocery or fast-turn apparel, an up-system is not what you need — a people counter plus POS conversion is.
The Bottom Line
A people counter measures opportunity. An up-system measures what your team did with it. Running both is the cheapest way to turn a vague 'we were busy today' into a specific, per-rep number you can coach against — and since SalesRotation.app is free and takes about five seconds to set up, the experiment costs nothing but the tablet you already own.
