1. New features
Gate access control: operate cashless and staffless
Using turnstiles helps control access, validate tickets, boost security, and manage visitor flow, ensuring a safe and pleasant experience for all patrons.
We integrated seamlessly with the DAOsafe gate computer. It's available as a complete turnstile or simply as the access device (the turnstile's core component).
Validation method:
- Visitors scan their member cards. The turnstile permits entry and deducts the credit if the profile's credit corresponds with a valid product in our database.
- This system is also set up to work with RFID or NFC technology. Visitors either carry cards or wear wristbands with these chips. The turnstile's sensors pick up the RFID/NFC signals and validate the ticket or pass.
Once the system verifies the credit, it deducts the appropriate amount. Then, the turnstile briefly unlocks, allowing the visitor to proceed.
This feature is included in the Scale package. Get in contact with your Customer Success Manager to find out more details and pricing.
Mobile POS: maximize efficiency
Designed specifically to manage orders in restaurants and bars, our Mobile POS system offers a range of functionalities to streamline operations, enhance customer service, and manage sales effectively.
With this handheld solution, you can:
- Place orders on-the-go: utilize a phone or tablet, to take orders directly at tables or bars. Its adaptable design fits all screen sizes.
- Transmit orders instantly: immediately forward orders to the kitchen or bar for prompt preparation.
- Order flexibly: handle special requests and offer tailored orders effortlessly.
- Manage table orders: allocate orders to designated tables and shift them as required without hassle.
- Expand with ease: deploy the system across various venues while retaining a central management point.
Additionally, the Mobile POS aligns with products categorized as food and beverage in our booking software, supporting diverse menus like breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
This first version of the Mobile POS is now available as an APK or Android Package. It includes everything needed for the app's installation and operation on Android devices.
Free beta available for booking users in the Scale package. Go to our tutorials to find out how to set it up.
2. Improvements
Event subscription: optimized flow for groups
As an operator, you aim for swift registrations, especially with large group arrivals. To facilitate this, guests can now pre-register using a single email address. This allows for efficient management of large groups. Moreover, guests have the flexibility to add or remove participants, ensuring an accurate and updated guest list. This advanced registration significantly speeds up the check-in process on the activity day.
This feature is available in every package, as it’s part of the registration flow. It can be incorporated in all flows: online booking and on-site.
Booking integration API: tailor your online booking journey
If you are using our Grow, Scale or Expand package you can use our online booking functionality. Want more control over this customer journey? Utilize our Booking Integration API (Application Programming Interface). This lets you integrate third-party or custom platforms seamlessly alongside the BMI Leisure software for bookings.
Essentially, this API serves as a bridge between an external online booking platform and the BMI Leisure software. It facilitates data exchange related to your activity schedules. Key functions include authentication, booking creation, availability checks, and booking adjustments or cancellations.
This feature is available on request.
Online booking calendar upgrade: instantly see availability
Our online booking calendar now displays only the dates when activities are available. This is especially useful for activities with limited availability or specific operating days/dates. Thanks to real-time updates, customers can easily see and trust the latest availability, making their booking experience smoother and more confident.
This feature is part of our Grow, Scale and Expand packages.
Safety & positioning: now also for outdoor tracks
Our timing software's positioning module now integrates seamlessly with iMylaps GPS transponders. Aside from accurate lap timing, race statistics and visualization, all safety benefits of positioning are now accessible for outdoor tracks. This enhancement helps race officials and emergency responders in quickly locating karts during accidents or track incidents.
This feature applies to karting venues. As of now, you can upgrade your system to include positioning. Contact your Customer Success Manager for more info.
The new software version also includes stability and performance updates, as well as several bug fixes and enhancements.
