Social WIFI & Geoportal… powered by Foursquare!

This post is in English, it’s a try. Happens to see someone jumping on this web site from abroad… from G. Analytics reports we see them passing the web site to google translate for an online translation and we always cross our fingers hoping for the best!

We think they might deserve a more accurate description of our business… and we’ll try to go for it!

InWYA stands for Information Where You Are and was born in late 2008.

We provide a service platform for (mainly) hoteliers willing to use their WIFI network not just to offer Internet connectivity service but to establish a new comunication channel with their guests.

Your customer arrives to your location and even before checking in he can connect to your wifi, login with his social account (major social networks are fully supported… for example facebook, google, twitter, foursquare, yahoo, linkedin…) and then being redirected to your GeoPortal platform to see which are your proposals for the coming evening, best restaurants and shops around and so on.  You decide what to publish and to recommend on your GeoPortal…

Here some of the platform’s pros… no cons here

1. During login procedure your customer flags all the “agree checkboxes” and therefore leaves you his personal data (name, email, language, country, gender, social network profile link…). You can download them as CSV file from the backend system.
2. The first time your guest logs in with his facebook account the system checks if he likes your facebook official page. If he doesn’t yet then the system shows him a “hint” to like your page beforehand… and we garantee this button here has a high “click through rate”.
3. The GeoPortal is your branded digital concierge available from every Internet locations around the world; you can link it from your official web site or even include the Guestbook in your web site (further integrations are available on request).
4. The GeoPortal can have POI (point of interests) “self powered” or “powered by Foursquare”. You decide which of the two best suites your needs. With the Foursquare option you have a Geoportal ready “out of the box”… you only need to specify your Foursquare lists of preferred venues (by categories) taking full advantage of this “User Generated Content” worldwide platform.
5. The first time your guest logs into “InWYA Social WIFI” he’s requested to select the check-out date. Why??? Because at next login the system can decide whether to show GeoPortal Home Page or (starting from one day before leaving) directly the hotel Social Guestbook.
6. The Social Guestbook can be connected with your official Facebook Page. A post from a facebook user can be published to his facebook wall and to your facebook page at the same time.
7. Each post on the Social Guestbook is treated as a common facebook post; it can have more than one comment related… and you can therefore leave an answer to it.
8. You get an email notification for each post written on your guestbook.
9. We provide a facebook app that allows you to publish your guestbook directly inside your facebook page (as an added ex-tab)
10. The platform is optimized for Mobile Access… Iphone ed Android Phones gets their proper page layouts!

Too many pros? We just stop for your own good

“InWYA Social WIFI” is a unique service which combines 3 products: Hotspot WIFI (with Social login credentials), GeoPortal and  Social Guestbook.

Guests have to be engaged on their Social environments? This is SOMETHING that can really do the job (well… part of it) for you.

Available even in “only guestbook” configuration… pretty useful for restaurants, pubs, open bar… and maybe your spot as well!
