Admission app with Covid certificate verification
Finally we are allowed to meet again for physical events. However, admission is only granted to those who have a valid ticket and a Covid certificate. This can quickly lead to long queues and high personnel and material costs if event staff have to check each guest twice. An innovative admission app from a Thun-based technology company provides a remedy.
As we all know, in order to utilize the full event capacity, the current BAG guidelines require event organizers to check a Covid certificate of the guests. In concrete terms, this means that every admission must be checked twice: Ticket and Covid certificate, including identity. If the process is not right here, this leads to long queues and high staff costs. There is a risk that guests will become dissatisfied even before the actual event and forgo a visit. This further erodes the profit margin of already beleaguered event organizers.
New intake app offers perfect process solution
The Thun-based technology company NextEvent, through which we here have already reported, is therefore coming up with a further development: An admission app with integrated Covid certificate verification. With the app, which is operated with a common smartphone or industrial scanner, the concierge verifies both the ticket and the Covid certificate on the guest's smartphone or in printed form in one process. A quick glance at the identity card is all that is needed to validate the scanned data. This means that only one application is needed for the entire process, and all data such as admission, Covid certificate status and, if necessary, exit can be found in one place.
Everything data protection compliant
The verification of a Covid certificate is stored with the ticket in line with data protection requirements, so that for events lasting several days, such as open airs or sports and city festivals, the certificate only needs to be scanned on the first day. This eliminates the need to scan the Covid certificate again for guests who have already been verified. The Covid data is deleted after 14 days.
NextEvent's admission app works with both personalized and impersonal tickets. By scanning the ticket and Covid certificate in one process, the app automatically links these two records - either with the full personal record or with the ticket number in the impersonal case. All functions of the admission app are also offline-capable.
Also possible for third-party tickets
For tickets from third-party providers and ticket platforms, the corresponding ticket data is simply imported into NextEvent so that event organizers can continue to rely on the proven simple process with the NextEvent app. So if organizers have already sold tickets via third-party providers, these can also be checked consistently via NextEvent.
