1. An electronic module comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect a dispensing action;
a processor configured to;
record a dispense indicator when the sensor detects a dispensing action; and
read a user identifier from a user identifier memory configured to interchangeably operate in conjunction with a plurality of sanitizer dispensers; and
a transceiver configured to;
periodically transmit the user identifier to a network at an interval of time; and
transmit the dispense indicator and a time period to the network with the user identifier at a next periodic transmission of the user identifier following the dispensing action;
wherein the time period is a time from a previous periodic transmission of the user identifier to the next periodic transmission of the user identifier following the dispensing action.
