Mobile-based Customer Screening and Demographic Analytics System for Club Chains

The client operates multiple clubs where security personnel need a reliable, quick method to verify guest age and membership status, while also capturing detailed demographic and visit data. Current manual or disparate processes hinder efficient access control, demographic analysis, and targeted marketing, reducing operational insights and compliance effectiveness.

A regional chain of clubs and entertainment venues seeking to enhance guest screening, demographic insights, and operational analytics through mobile technology.

• Develop a mobile application enabling security staff to scan magnetic stripe or barcode IDs, including membership and government-issued IDs, for instant verification of age and membership status.
• Ensure secure transmission and storage of scanned data, including personal details, visit timestamps, and demographic information, to centralized servers for analytics.
• Support offline operation with local data caching to ensure uninterrupted screening capability during network outages.
• Create a web-based backend system for managing guest data and providing analytics dashboards related to customer demographics, visit frequency, and sales correlations.
• Enable filtering and identification of underage guests or individuals flagged for specific issues to improve compliance and security measures.

• Mobile app for security personnel to scan magnetic strips or barcodes on membership and government-issued ID cards.
• Instant validation of both age and membership status with color-coded access indicators (green/red).
• Automatic capture and transmission of scanned ID data, including date/time, birth date, calculated age, height, weight, home address zip code, gender, and ID number.
• Local data caching on mobile devices when offline, with synchronization once connectivity resumes.
• A centralized web dashboard to manage guest records, monitor visit patterns, and generate demographic analytics.
• Ability to track visits during specific periods and correlate with sales data for targeted marketing strategies.
• Reporting features to screen out underage or flagged guests efficiently.

• ID card readers supporting magnetic strip and barcode scanning hardware
• Secure server API for data transfer and synchronization
• Existing POS or sales data systems for sales correlation

• Scalable architecture to support multiple venues and increasing data volume
• High system availability and real-time data processing capabilities
• Data security and compliance with privacy regulations (e.g., encryption, access controls)
• Offline operation with local data caching until synchronization
• Response time targets ensuring immediate feedback during guest screening

The implementation of this system is expected to enable the client to significantly improve guest screening accuracy, operational efficiency, and security compliance. It would facilitate tracking over multiple venues, enhance demographic insights for targeted marketing, and support proactive management of underage or flagged guests. The client anticipates better visitation metrics, demographic understanding, and sales correlations, ultimately driving increased revenue and compliance adherence.
