FootFall Ltd[1] was founded in 1991 by John Gallagher and Brian Barnes. The company initially sold hardware solutions[clarification needed] designed to measure pedestrian flows within UK shopping centres. The company evolved into a provider of information services based on pedestrian flow. FootFall systems are installed in 37 countries with customers primarily in the retail and retail property industries. In December 2005[2] Experian purchased FootFall Ltd at a cost of 36 million GBP.[3] Experian FootFall is a product of Experian PLC.

Experian sold the company to Tyco International in 2015 for £38.5 million.[4] It now trades as ShopperTrak.[5]
