Are you trying to maintain control in absentia?

You may be surprised to to realize that you may be managing two different companies:

1) When your there 

2) The evil twin when your not there

Many operations suffer with this when running multiple locations selling theme park and attractions tickets. Managing inventory is asking for trouble but now today’s theme parks tickets often provide web portals to place orders for their re-sellers to purchase turnstile tickets. 

This can seem very convenient but also offers some significant challenges once you get past one computer placing these orders.

Point of Sale does offer control and can help boost efficiency no matter where head office is, but if your Point of Sale is not integrated, this means that you will need to reconcile these transactions with the Point of Sale at the end of each day since the two are not linked together. This can create quite the paperwork trail. Multiply this times several locations and you can really create a headache if you not careful. It can leave with questions at reconciliation:

Why don't I see this transaction in the POS?

Why is the amount in the POS different then the web portal report?

Was this a gift or pregift and for who?

If you or your team are asking questions like this then iTicket POS is for you!

iTicket POS is a Point of Sale that integrates in closed loop with the theme parks, making the purchase and reconciliation of those purchases seamless with the back office. This saves time offers a great deal of control and detail when it comes to the reconciliation bringing all records back to one central location.

But that's not good enough! At iTicket POS want to take this one step further and give clients the competitive edge through smart technology.

Employee Theft

  The statics are just amazing...3 out of 4 of your employees have already stolen from at least once, and at least one of the will steal from you again.

The fact is business just cannot absorb this rate of loss and stay in business. The facts are employees and managers alike will find loop holes in your processes and will steal from you.

Many ticket re-sellers and timeshare companies feel secure with a Point of Sale or systems process they have in place. However, theme parks have moved away from hard ticket inventory and offer re-sellers the convenience of web portals to print tickets on demand.

Sounds nice, but now you need to balance every web portal with the POS. Multiply this out times several properties, OPC sites, or guest service desk and the process can become overwhelming very quickly. If this is you, then there is a high chance you are being stolen from and are not yet even aware of it!

However with the right tools, technology and processes, you can eliminate the gaping loop wholes. iTicket POS provides just that, a better tool, the right technology, while still providing turnstile on demand tickets for your guest.

At the end of the day if you change then nothing then nothing will change. Consider this quote-“Sometimes we spend more time than we should defending the old thing, instead of working to take advantage of the new thing.”-Seth Godin

Is the era of vouchers for theme parks dead?

Ticket retailers for years have struggled with one of two things, manage ticket inventory or explaining vouchers. Both solutions have their pros and cons, vouchers through the years began to get get a bad rap as guests would have to exchange these vouchers for the actual tickets, typically in a separate line.

Vouchers worked great for timeshare and guest service companies alike, reaping benefits such as breakage. Few companies such as Voucher Snap POS, issued very reputable vouchers and worked with theme parks and attractions to make sure all the appropriate verbiage was there to make billing an ease.
