    CountIQ: The Best Replacement for AXIS Store Reporter

    AXIS Store Reporter is discontinued, with service support ending on 31 January 2026.

    If your organisation relies on Axis people counting cameras and analytics, this change means you'll soon lose access to key dashboards, reports, and analytics tools unless you migrate to a replacement.

    CountIQ by DDI Labs is a purpose-built, cloud-based analytics platform designed as a direct replacement for AXIS Store Reporter, ensuring your existing Axis ecosystem continues to deliver real-time, actionable insights without interruption.

    What Is AXIS Store Reporter?

    AXIS Store Reporter was a cloud-based analytics tool developed by Axis Communications for visualising people counting and retail data collected from Axis cameras and analytics applications.

    It helped retailers, facility managers, and venue operators monitor:

    • Visitor traffic, occupancy, and queue lengths
    • Conversion rates and dwell times
    • Store performance trends and customer flow patterns

    The tool worked as part of the Axis data ecosystem:

    • AXIS People Counter / Analytics app captured counting data on the camera.
    • AXIS Store Data Manager collected and structured data in the cloud.
    • AXIS Store Reporter visualised this data via charts, dashboards, and reports.
    • AXIS License Manager handled license subscriptions and renewals.

    With the AXIS Store Reporter service ending, businesses need a new analytics solution that continues to integrate with their Axis devices and preserves their existing data flow.
