The Challenges Faced by the Bio Farm
Prior to implementing the Parkomax solution, the bio farm utilised an online booking portal but faced limitations in their entry management system. There was no dedicated platform for adding entries. This meant a significant lack of centralised tracking capabilities, as the farm needed a unified system to monitor the entries.
Despite the installation of new tripod turnstiles intended for ticket validation, the process still required manual intervention. Security personnel had to approve each ticket presented by visitors. This contributed to a high dependence on manual labor throughout the entry process, leading to inefficiencies. Furthermore, the farm specifically required a wristband system to enable seamless entry-exit tracking in real time, moving away from traditional paper tickets.
Parkomax’s Tailor-made Solution for the Bio Farm
Parkomax addressed these challenges by providing a well-advanced, integrated solution with a digital ticketing system. The Parkomax software was integrated with the farm’s existing booking platform, allowing for the management to streamline onsite ticket entries within a single system. This integration also eliminated the need for handwritten receipts for entries by enabling digital ticket creation.
QR-enabled Wristband System
A key feature of the new system was the introduction of a QR-enabled wristband system. Instead of paper tickets, visitors were issued wristbands that had printed QR codes. Parkomax installed QR scanners directly at the tripod turnstiles for automatic ticket validation. This allowed visitors to scan their wristbands without requiring manual intervention from staff.
Group Ticketing
The system was also configured to support multi-entry & group ticketing, where a single QR code could allow multiple entries based on the purchased count. Additionally, it was set up to handle standard single-entry tickets for individual visitors.
Real-time Reports
Finally, the Parkomax solution provided real-time logs & reports. This offered centralised monitoring of all visitor entries, encompassing both online and onsite bookings. Administrators gained the ability to access real-time visitor logs and generate detailed reports.
Technology Powering the Solution
The successful implementation relied on specific technology components integrated by Parkomax. The Control iD’s iDBox served as the centralised platform for managing both online and manual entries. ZKTeco’s QR600Hs were utilised as high-accuracy QR code scanners for seamless wristband validation. SecTec Tripod Turnstiles, equipped with the QR code scanning capability, were deployed to facilitate automated entry.
Optimising Operations: The Parkomax Impact on the Bio Farm
The implementation of the Parkomax automated visitor management system yielded significant positive outcomes for the bio farm. The system achieved automated entry management, eliminating manual ticket validation. It also resulted in enhanced security and access control with the real-time tracking ensuring better monitoring of visitor movement. The reliance on the workforce was significantly reduced, leading to reduced workforce dependency. Ultimately, the shift to faster, seamless entry using QR wristbands Improved the visitor experience by enhancing guest convenience.
A Flawless Future for Visitor Management
By addressing the initial challenges, Parkomax successfully elevated the operations of the bio farm. The technology-rich solution delivered an improved visitor experience through faster and more convenient entry management processes for Agri-Tourism destinations.
