Enhancing visitor experience

Attraction and experience software specialist n-gage.io has secured a contract with the UK’s Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT), which has launched a new mobile app for a site in the north of England. The aim of the mobile app is to enhance visitor experience, with improvements focused around communication, navigation, conservation education and accessibility at the 105-acre site in Washington, Tyne & Wear. WWT is a charity that operates 10 wetland sites across Scotland, England and Wales.

On the move

Tickadoo, an entertainment discovery platform, has unveiled a new WhatsApp chatbot to streamline the booking of tickets to shows, experiences and events. Platform bosses believe that integrating the booking, receiving and storing of tickets into an app such as WhatsApp can enhance user experience when on the move. WhatsApp is already used by millions and will provide a secure and familiar environment to manage their bookings with Tickadoo.
