See how NEMS Works

NEMS Explained
Nimlok’s Entry Management System (NEMS) is an out of the box plug and play system that counts customers in and out of the store.
The sensor collected traffic count data then updates in real-time the integrated digital signage that advises shoppers how long their estimated wait time and when they may enter.
The outbound screen displays a thank you message and again using the stores live data, advises shoppers the quietest/shortest wait periods to consider for their next visit.
The free-standing unit makes it compatible with any store entrance layout and is designed to work around existing infrastructure such as anti-theft readers.
Internally the devices and sensor are connected to each other and our system utilises our cloud technology where retailers can centrally review live data and activity trends to guide future planning.
For additional customer safety, the system is equipped with an audible alarm and flashing light that is triggered if someone enters before they are allowed to, enabling your store staff to intervene.
Aside from being highly beneficial to the retail sector, our NEMS solution has also been placed in universities, to manage admission levels in libraries, and open access areas. In addition NEMS has been adapted to support businesses need to manage washroom facilities access.

NEMS vs
The Alternatives
Whilst there are many sophisticated retail analytics systems offering live customer occupancy count numbers and insights like flow, hotspots and dwell time, these all require significant investment and professional installation of sensors and network infrastructure.
Typically they are also not configurable to translate live data into shopper instructions via digital signage.
NEMS Example Configurations
Our entry management system is able to support a variety of configuration layout requirements. From same entry and exit doorway coverage to entry and exit through different doorways, our versatile solution is also available in weatherproof format for outdoor positioning.
Our solution is not only limited to the configuration options shown below. Note, the totem is available as a traffic light display or with a digital screen display. For a more compact solution we have a indoor window traffic light display option too.
We are very pleased with our NEMS investment at our store. The system was installed in minutes and our team quickly trained and comfortable with it. It has done exactly what we’d hoped in releasing a member of our team from door duties and given us peace of mind that we have a safe operating model for controlling occupancy. I would have no hesitation in recommending NEMS to fellow retailers.

NEMS Lite Edition
Designed for smaller stores where less than eight customers can be safely accommodated in-store at any one time, NEMS LITE offers a simple, low cost solution from as little as £264!
Remote controlled traffic light entry system
NEMS LITE works by your store staff operating a traffic light signal, controlling shopper access via a remote control. Please note this system requires line of sight from operator position to door.
NEMS LITE is available in a single totem format with custom graphics both sides and 2 remote controls, an outdoor weatherproof unit and a more compact windows mounted version.
Our double entry system is ideal for medical clinics who wish to operate two seperate queue functions.


Our NEMS Lite Window Traffic Light System has been a huge help in managing entry into our pharmacy. Up until now we’d had much of our day consumed going back and forth to usher people in and now it’s just the touch of the button. Our customers have naturally observed the signal and its worked very well. We’d have no hesitation in recommending other pharmacies to invest in NEMS.
