Customers range from small-and-medium businesses to Fortune-500 organizations.“Party Squasher” delivers solutions for managers of short-term rental properties, like those marketed through Airbnb and VRBO. Party Squasher is a party prevention solution that alerts hosts via SMS or email when the occupancy of a property exceeds a pre-set limit. Earlier this year, BlueZoo announced its partnership with Google Cloud to provide EdgeAI-based optical sensors to complement the current BlueFox offering and address insurance and real-estate industry needs.Unlike many other location analytics firms, we deliver these services while preserving consumer privacy.

BlueFox delivers a technology that tells you how many people are at or near your premises and that allows you to engage with visitors or shoppers with no apps or beacons. You have real-time metrics for your out-of-home ads, stores, restaurant, gas station, in fact anywhere you want within the range you set. We do this simply and in a very privacy friendly way, better than any alternative we know.
