Fotosmile, a family-run photo and video solutions company from Italy, developed a new photo system during the global pandemic, building on its nearly three decades of experience in the field of image capture. The patent-pending D4 technology features modular software that can be customised for each client’s individual needs.
The new proprietary technology can be tailored for different circumstances, such as photo studios, roving photos, on-ride photos, chroma key and more, for the best results without extra effort. It is also an ideal choice for operators who are struggling to hire or retain staff due to the current situation, as the automatic configuration means they can offer a photo service with both digital and printed options for the full range of opening hours.
The point of sale can be both automatic and with staff, so sales are handled efficiently even during busy hours.
Balancing staffing and technology
With the automatic configuration, visitors can buy their printed products or photo passes easily, from a single POS with either cash or credit card. The D4 enables attractions to operate in a strategic and smart way, creating a balance between human resources and technology without impacting sales.
Fotosmile offers tailored, state-of-the-art photo and video solutions for the attraction industry, including on-ride photo systems, thanks to its unique next-generation hardware and software. Earlier this summer, the company launched its new revolutionised app, available for iOS and Android devices. The latest version of the app is more user-friendly than ever and has been designed to be as intuitive as possible.
Now, visitors can simply scan a QR to immediately access the content that they have purchased from one of Fotosmile’s authorised partners. They can easily buy photos and videos of their day out and then access the digital version through a unique code on their purchase ticket.
