We take versatile ticketing processes and via a highly modular, flexible and extensible platform, we enable businesses to offer highly customisable customer experiences and in doing so monetise every step of the customer journey, whilst harnessing new revenue opportunities. We start by setting up the services you operate.
Are you offering journeys from A to B or from A to B and via landbridge to C and backwards? What is the timetable? What is the schedule?
Are there various locations and multiple venues within each location? Are there different layouts and what is the capacity? What is the schedule?
Are dining options an experience you can offer? What are your table plans and capacities? do you have rules on orphaned capacities?
Are you selling via multiple sales channels? Do you want fine grained control over what gets sold to who and where?
Now you configure how to monetise access to these services by setting up any number of products, your own and those of third parties. This enables you to enhance the experience you offer, aiming them at diverse customer groups and surfacing them in a timely fashion.
Unlimited ticket groups and ticket types can be assigned to dated or undated, timed or day access products. Valid for single or multiple use, sold through specified channels according to configured pricing rules.
Passes for one or more venue, event, or admission products can be easily configured for any number of ticket types. Validity periods according to your needs and easily redeemed at ticket offices and mobile point of sale.
Here you can increase average order value by tempting customers to purchase flexible tickets, priority boarding, premium lounges, VIP access, an afternoon tea, a bottle of champagne or your latest merchandise.
Are there rental offerings extended as part of your experience? Segway hire, rowing or pedalo boat hire? Set-these up with a rental duration until and surface them as part of your customers booking journey.
