Providing a contactless user experience, the content you write into a GPS location or broadcast with #hex Beacon automatically appears on your phone when you enter a location.
From embedding interesting historical facts about the hotel around the building to posting a greeting from the General Manager to introduce the team, the content you construct is in your control. The types of messages you create are endless, yet #hexology is much more than a push-notification tool, it is also loaded with social features that build community.
Loading all of your content into one collection and branding it with your logo puts all of your content in one place. Customers can share your collection and posts, add comments and favourite the content they like. It’s an ideal mechanism to capture reviews and give your guests a platform they can invest in.
Building a community for your guests to find out more about who and what is around them, enables them to make friends and instantly plug into the local community. What’s more, your guests get to keep the content and experiences they collect, enabling you to send them new posts and updates to your collections even when they have left the hotel and are back at home.
Similarly, adding your posts to collections that other organisations have created allows you to reach new audiences and open a channel to the content in your hotel.
Integrated with Maps, #hexology pinpoints your location on a map, so for all of those people that discover your hotel through the locations they follow, #hexology guides them to your hotel.
#hexology is intuitive and simple to use
On-boarding your customer can begin when they book online, or when they arrive at your hotel and discover the content you have created.
Sharing a link to your content in an email is one way to begin the customer journey, you can alternatively distribute a QR code which customers can scan with their phone. If the customer has already installed the #hexology app then the content opens automatically, if however the customer has not installed the app, then they are directed to the app store where they can download and install #hexology.
When you install #hexology for the first time you do not need to create a user profile or an account, instead, #hexology gives you instant access to content and the community around you. It is only when you attempt to add or create your own content that you are asked to create an account.
Equally, content creators at the hotel need no technical know-how or additional technical infrastructure, internet access inside the hotel is all that is needed. Following in the lines of other social network apps, the #hexology interface is a familiar environment that is intuitive to use.

- Footfall
- Logging the movement of your customers inside your hotel
- How long customers stay in a particular location, or not
- What content is the most popular and what is not
These data-driven insights will help you understand your customer, enabling you to optimise your operation.
Paving the way for hotels to enhance their customer experience, #hexology is offering a new and exclusive channel of communication that enhances the Customer Experience in your Hotel, empowering you to personalise content that meets the interests and needs of your guests.
