In the month of October, De Haan IT was present at two trade fairs: the Swimming Pool Fair in Houten and the Aquanale in Cologne. During both events we spoke to many organizations from the industry and noticed a clearly growing need for integrated systems, insightful reports and user-friendly solutions for both employees and visitors. In short: we were clearly at the center of attention.
Swimming pool fair Houten Oct. 13
During the Swimming Pool Exhibition in Houten, we saw a lot of interest in our total solution €lli and in particular in our BI tool. Visitors responded enthusiastically to the possibilities of real-time dashboards, visitor frequency insights and trend analysis. The new way of reporting within €lli clearly garners admiration. And frankly: it also looks very attractive and uncluttered.
We also spoke to several swimming pools that want to switch to one central platform for entrance, catering, webshop, subscriptions and reports. Existing €lli users also stopped by with questions about expansion, new hardware and optimization.
Aquanale Oct. 28 to 31 (Cologne, Germany)
At the end of October we attended Aquanale, one of the largest international trade fairs for the Spa & Wellness industry. With more than 25,000 visitors, Aquanale provides an excellent platform to follow international trends and make new contacts.
Here, too, there was great interest in data-driven and integrated software solutions. The way €lli brings these elements together fits well with the developments taking place in the industry. At the stand we also showed a complete (working) customer journey: from our webshop via payment terminals and turnstiles, to issuing locker towels, slippers and bathrobes, automatic beverage islands, information screens, planning screens, catering orders to automatic check-out.
