Description
Airline passengers have been programmed to check-in 24 hours prior to their flights for years now. This allows the airline to capture information on the guest, saves time at the airport, and gives travelers peace of mind that their experience at the airport will be smooth. Aspenware Arrival provides this experience for guests coming to ski and ride at the resort.
Arrival uses Locations, Activities, and Tasks to determine what functions guests will be completing.
Locations - A Resort can have several Locations. Each Location will have its own unique URL to which guests can navigate. Each Location requires a default activity. Examples of locations include:
“POS Transactions” - A “POS Transactions” Location might be comprised of orders placed within the POS system, whether through an eCommerce store such as Aspenware Commerce or placed directly into the POS through a phone call or resort visit. This might include things like Season Passes, Lift Tickets, or Ski School Lessons.
“Rental Shop” A “Rental Shop” Location is most likely a configuration used for purchases made by guests who are physically at a rental location on-premise.
Activities - An Activity is comprised of one or more tasks that are related to a specific purchase. Examples include:
“Purchases” - This might be an Activity underneath the “POS Transactions” Location which might be a Season Pass or maybe a Ski School Lesson. This particular Activity will link to specific tasks that are required to be completed by the guest for this particular product purchase. The guest would only be prompted to fill out specific tasks that they are personally missing based on their orders.
“Ski/Snowboard Rentals” - This might be an Activity underneath the “Rental Shop” Location. Again, this particular Activity will link to specific tasks that are required to be completed by the guest for this particular product purchase.
Task - A Task is the specific function that guests will be completing in relation to their purchased Activities. Tasks supported in Arrival include:
Waiver Signing
Child Registration Capture
Rental Profile Capture
Photo Capture
