Challenges
Histovery is the leading company in terms of augmented visits in Europe. They have partnered with more than 15 prestigious cultural sites such as Chambord Castle, the Conciergerie in Paris or the Popes' Palace in Avignon.
The HistoPad, their augmented visit solution, enables the general public to rediscover the wealth of cultural heritage via interactive technologies which are spectacular and accessible to all, in perfect compliance with scientific and historical knowledge.
Given to all visitors, this media tablet device offers a time travel experience thanks to Augmented Reality and Rich Media including 360° historical reconstructions and 3D interactive objects.
In order to keep these tours running to sufficient levels, Histovery must be able to offer these devices to their customers at all times. Without these devices, they cannot offer the sophisticated and engaging standard of augmentation that their audience expect.
Solution
Gergely LÁSZLÓ, Director of Operations and Quality, says, “In partnership with our tablet manufacturer, we’ve been able to determine our exact needs, and Cambrionix was instrumental to answer them. This partnership is dynamic and flexible, with attentive representatives. A true partnership that represents the digital values.”
Cambrionix technology plays an essential role in terms of charging-speed and syncing of Histovery's tablets.
"Thanks to the charging capabilities of Cambrionix technology, all visitors can get a fully loaded HistoPad to enjoy their augmented visit. With more than 3000 digital tablets over our 15 partners' cultural sites used on a daily basis to satisfy our 2 millions annual HistoPad users, our main operational challenge is to be sure that all our tablets are seamlessly working. In the summer, some of our partners get more than 2000 visitors a day, so after each visit, tablets have to be loaded rapidly to be ready for another visit".
“Today we manage 7000 HistoPad tablets with 400 Cambrionix PowerPad15 located in 3 different countries. This can only work with a fast and remotely controllable technology which is operational at all times. The fact that this technology is also easy-to-use is a real advantage. The clear interface enables us to monitor the state of our machine park. In partnership with our tablet manufacturer, we’ve been able to determine our exact needs, and Cambrionix was instrumental to answer them. This partnership is dynamic and flexible, with attentive representatives. A true partnership that represents the digital values.”
Benefits
Histovery also uses Cambrionix technology in order to be constantly connected to the tablets. After each visit, visitors receive an email with the treasure hunt diploma, their historical selfies and their comment to share on social media.
Gergely LÁSZLÓ says, "visitors are waiting for this email and it is important that they receive it rapidly. In addition, we offer multiple updates of the HistoPad to our partners. These updates, realised at night when there are no visitors in the site, require a reliable and fast connection to all our tablets."
Last but not least, Histovery have built an exciting new advanced CRM system for the cultural sector.
"We provide information on the visitors’ behaviours to all our partners on an online dashboard. The fastest the tablets logs are updated the fastest our partners get the data, helping them to better pilot their institution. This is possible thanks to our 400 Cambrionix PowerPad15's that are dispatched on our 15 cultural sites."
