Putting technology at the service of hospitality to deliver flawless customer experiences
Innovation is the driving force behind our cutting-edge unified commerce solution, a catalyst for transformative experiences. At the heart of our mission lies the challenge of crafting a seamless customer journey while upholding a resilient infrastructure backbone, particularly in the context of Fort Boyard Aventures. The journey starts with the commitment to delivering a frictionless customer check-in process.
Seamless Check-in
When embarking on an exciting game activity at Fort Boyard Aventures, where multiple teams come together, our system takes center stage. It effortlessly generates, assigns, and checks in each team within every reservation. While the end-customer sees a simple and straightforward purchase flow, in the backstage, we are creating the required number of teams that depends on the number of players. Then, players are automatically split between the different teams. Finally, this will allow players to complete their check-in on-site by naming their teams.
Our integrated system not only allows customers to purchase their tickets online but also automates team generation, check-in, and team naming at the Point of Sale (POS) or Kiosk.
Team Challenges & RFID Technology
Now, with teams formed and eager to embark on their quests, it's time to immerse in the epic Fort Boyard theme and partake in intense battles. The players will take on different challenges across the venue. These challenges are all about trying to get the highest score possible, and our system rises to the occasion, expertly pairing teams with RFID cards so they can track their points. At the end of the game, the team’s scores are sent to Smeetz via API, thus syhncronizing with each team profile.
An integration with the H2C Game Management Software ensures a seamless check-in experience at the POS and Kiosk on-site.
Capturing Memories
To fully realize Fort Boyard Aventures' vision of authenticity, we go the extra mile. At the end of the activity, customers have the opportunity to capture their memories with an exceptional Fort Boyard branded team photo, which they receive via email after the activity. From a technological standpoint, this juncture provided the perfect opportunity to leverage booking information, seamlessly integrated with Dynamic View’s photo booth. At the end of the game, the team scores are sent to Dynamic View so they can be displayed on the photo, that is then sent out to customers with Smeetz’s Email Automation feature.
Branded Gift Cards and Invitations
Fort Boyard Aventures excels in delivering unique experiences, and this extends to their branded gift cards and birthday invitations. Within Smeetz, custom design and branding of these documents has been put in place, ensuring that the sense of adventure resonates not only during the visit but also in all communications with participants and guests.
