The Challenge
Geilogruppen embarked on a mission to elevate their customer experience by seamlessly integrating both in-store, online and across channels. Their goal was to find a supplier capable of delivering cutting-edge solutions for both realms, with a particular emphasis on streamlining the check-in process to save time and enhance efficiency.
We encountered varied requirements, from stationary terminals at reception to wireless terminals in our catering facilities, along with a booking solution for our websites. Nets addressed all these needs, offering seamlessly integrated payment solutions compatible with our systems. Consolidating everything under one supplier not only simplified management but also provided us with the best total solution, says Roger Espeli CEO, Geilogruppen
The Solution
In response to Geilogruppen’s challenge, Nexi stepped in providing a holistic solution that addressed both in-store and online needs. The key components of Nexi's solution included terminals strategically placed at reception for physical transactions, and terminals seamlessly integrated into the restaurant for a flexible dining experience.
Online shopping was revolutionized through the implementation of an advanced booking system that allowed customers to effortlessly reserve their stay. To further enhance the dining experience, Nexi introduced a QR code system at the tables, enabling patrons to make payments conveniently through their mobile phones.
We and our customers rely on these solutions daily for seamless payment processing. Ensuring functionality and stability is paramount to us. Through the MyNets portal, we gain comprehensive insights into our company's performance, including settlement data and card transactions, enhancing our operational efficiency and decision-making processes, says Roger Espeli CEO, Geilogruppen
