Welcome to SecuTix Piz Bernina V1
This first 2017 release of SecuTix 360° is all about a great user experience. We've completely redesigned the graphic interface of the ticket shop to make it simpler and more contemporary. The also applies to the new ticket vending machines which combine the concept of the shopping basket with an appealing look and feel also reflected in the dynamic ticket shop window, to upgrade our offerings and delight visitors. We're always looking to expand the functionality of the service, so we're also launching some new integrations based on digital third-party solutions from our partners in technology: cancellation insurance, purchase options, payment by bank transfer – lots of features that allow you to offer your customers innovative services while also giving them as much freedom as possible. Piz Bernina v1 also includes some new expanded reporting domains, bulk import into SAM and a more detailed breakdown of your automated campaigns. Piz Bernina v1 marks the start of a migration of public resources to the AWS cloud, focussing on improved availability and storage capacity.
We've chosen to spotlight the following three ticket vending machines:
Focus on a more contemporary heading theme
We've updated the look of online sales with a new, more contemporary graphic design theme. "Equilibrium" offers users a better balance. We've redesigned the on-screen information for improved impact and a clearer hierarchy, and increased the spacing in the layout between the various elements, providing an enhanced experience for visitors to your ticket shop.
Make the right impression with the dynamic shop window
First impressions count. Visitors to your ticket shop will be captivated the minute they see the dynamic shop window – a bona fide welcome page for your online sales. Impress web users by grouping your products intuitively and choosing your ideal page layout.
New ticket vending machines
Modern, intuitive and flexible – that's the new ticket vending machine in a nutshell. It aims at leveraging the technical debt of the previous version and integrating the latest features of the online ticket shop. It is specially designed with end users in mind, with the introduction of the shopping basket concept and a more modern overall look & feel. Thanks to new state-of-art web technology and centralised configuration screens, setting up a vending machine application has never been so easy.
