Tools to promote your PWA to visitors

As a leader in operation of cultural and tourist sites for almost thirty years, Orpheo has observed the challenges encountered by their clients in marketing a tour application. We have therefore integrated the following points into our offer:

INDIVIDUAL CARDS

Physical cards with a unique code allow visitors to access the PWA.

TICKETING SYSTEM INTEGRATION

The PWA can connect with your ticketing system, printing unique identifiers on each ticket for easy access

ONLINE PAYMENT

A secure payment module can be integrated into the app for direct transactions.

Multiple scenarios for PWA installation

CONNECTED TO EXISTING WIFI

The PWA is accessed via the venue’s existing Wi-Fi network. Using a captive portal, visitors can load the app within seconds, allowing them to continue the tour offline.

ORPHEO HOTSPOT

For sites without Wi-Fi, the Orpheo Hotspot solution provides an internet access point at the entrance. Visitors connect to the PWA and can complete the tour without needing further network access.
