| 31st July 2006 - The Eden Project has this week become the
first organisation in the UK to offer a permanent mobile ticketing
facility. Following the installation of Swiftpass mobile ticketing
technology, visitors can receive their ticket instantly via
their mobile phone and benefit from fast-track entry.
Swiftpass mobile ticketing will enable the registered charity
to benefit from significant cost savings, plus a huge reduction
in paper ticket waste and vastly reduced queuing time for
visitors. The Eden Project will also derive financial savings
from being able to sell tickets directly, rather than through
third parties, and from postage, printing and distribution
costs â?" savings that will be ploughed back into
the development of the not-for-profit trust.
Jon Curry, Edenâ?Ts head of ICT explains: â?oWith
school holidays upon us, the Eden Project is entering its
busiest time of the year. Swiftpass mobile ticketing will
help us relieve the pressures of queuing, and in so doing,
greatly improve our overall customer experience. Internally
it will also help us to streamline our processes in terms
of ticket distribution and redemption. Finally, the reduction
in paper ticket waste supports our commitment to becoming
waste neutral.â?
Swiftpass delivers a secure digital ticket directly to the
consumerâ?Ts mobile phone. The ticket is then scanned
and validated at the entrance, enabling fast and hassle-free
entry.
Oliver Seal, CEO at Swiftpass adds: â?oWe are delighted
that the Eden Project is leading the adoption of mobile ticketing
technology with the UK's first permanent installation. To
be able to improve the visitors experience, while simultaneously
making cost savings is an exciting prospect for the attraction.
The reduction in paper ticket waste is an added bonus.
