Track attendance, manage member visits, and understand your visitors with a simple digital check-in kiosk.

If you've ever scrambled to pull together visitor numbers for a grant application, you know the frustration. Paper sign-in sheets get lost, clicker counters give you a number but no context, and by the time you need the data, nobody can remember where it went.
Museums face a unique challenge: you need accurate attendance data for funding, but you also want visitors to feel welcome, not processed. Traditional visitor management systems designed for corporate offices feel cold and bureaucratic. Paper guest books look friendly but give you nothing useful.
Clerkcat was built for cultural institutions that need real data without sacrificing the visitor experience. Our digital kiosk takes seconds to use, works on any tablet you place at your front desk, and quietly collects the information you actually need: attendance counts, member visits, zip codes, and how people heard about your museum.
The dashboard shows you everything in real time. See which days are busiest, track trends over months and years, and export clean reports that make grant applications straightforward. When funders ask "how many people did you serve last quarter?" you'll have the answer instantly.
For museums with membership programs, Clerkcat tracks member visits automatically. You'll know which members visit monthly versus which ones haven't been back in a year. This insight helps you understand engagement and target your renewal campaigns effectively.
Small museums love that Clerkcat is simple enough that volunteers can manage it. Large museums appreciate that it scales across multiple entrances without complicated setup. And everyone appreciates that it just works—set it up once and it runs quietly in the background, collecting the data you need.
These are the challenges we hear about from museums every day.
Guest books fill up with illegible handwriting and get filed away in boxes. When grant season comes, you're stuck manually counting entries or making educated guesses about your actual attendance.
A door counter tells you 247 people came in today, but nothing else. You don't know if they're members, tourists, school groups, or locals. You can't answer funders' questions about demographics or community impact.
Visitor management software designed for corporate lobbies costs thousands per year and requires IT support to maintain. Museums need something simpler, friendlier, and more affordable.
Every year you spend hours pulling together attendance data from multiple sources, hoping your numbers are accurate enough to satisfy funders. There has to be a better way.
Get the attendance data you need for board reports, strategic planning, and grant applications without adding to your staff's workload.
