A wildly different way to book storage<\/h2>\n

Family days out often come with a whole host of baggage. Coats, holdalls, carriers \u2013 all those essentials you need but don\u2019t really want to hump around. Especially when you\u2019re out to have some fun.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s one of the reasons we created Zodiac Go!<\/a><\/strong> We wanted to show that booking and using storage doesn\u2019t have to be a hassle. Done well, it can feel like part of the whole experience. So to prove it, we put Zodiac Go! to the test in one of the UK\u2019s best-loved zoos, Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World in Telford, United Kingdom, and let everyone see what it could do.<\/p>\n

The Challenge<\/h2>\n

Taking the friction out of locker hire<\/strong><\/p>\n

Research showed that a lot of existing locker systems offered a user experience that felt generic and disconnected from the venue around them.<\/p>\n

While booking a locker might seem like a small part of someone\u2019s day, a lot of the time it can feel like a clunky add-on \u2013 especially when parents arrive at a busy attraction complete with children and belongings in tow.<\/p>\n

We wanted to create something different: a locker booking journey designed around the user right from the start \u2013 something that made everyone\u2019s day easier, not harder. Our ambition was to make the experience intuitive, engaging and enjoyable, while giving operators the control they needed to manage their locker service and maybe even create an additional income stream, too.<\/p>\n

The solution<\/h2>\n

Just Book it. Store it. Go!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Installation at Hoo Zoo provided the perfect opportunity for Zodiac Go!<\/a><\/strong> With no existing storage, but a clear demand from visitors, we put our system to the test in a very busy, family-focused environment.<\/p>\n

Booking couldn\u2019t be easier. Visitors can choose to either book at the Hoo Zoo branded booking terminal or they can use their mobile phones to simply scan one of the many QR codes located around the locker bank and follow the instructions. It\u2019s so easy, in fact, booking only takes around 30 seconds to complete, while all those who have booked have completed everything without the need for assistance.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, Hoo Zoo has plans to make things easier still by adding a booking link to their website and emails, allowing people to reserve storage before they arrive.
\nZodiac Go! brings the lockers, booking journey and payment processes all together in one. Visitors can book, pay and store their belongings \u2013 then just get on with their day. While our cloud-based platform gives Hoo Zoo the tools to manage everything quickly and easily behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
