One of the Nordic region’s biggest and most modern event venues, Karlstad CCC, has launched a mobile pre-ordering service for event and conference attendees. It is the first conference centre is Sweden to use the technology.
The new mobile app, available on the App Store and Google Play, means that guests can order drinks and refreshments in advance and have them delivered to exhibition stands at a convenient time.
Based in the province of Värmland, Karlstad CCC has 18 meeting rooms, a restaurant, reception and conference services spread over 18,000 square metres of meeting space. Karlstad CCC is a joint effort between public and private enterprises – it is run by Visit Karlstad AB, which is owned by Karlstad municipality (49%) and the business community (51%).
Arman Teimouri, Chief of External Relations, Karlstad Congress Culture Centre, explains, “As one of the biggest conference and events venues in the Nordics, we are always looking for new ways to offer the best experience possible to events attendees. Being at a stand all day can mean that people miss out on the opportunity to get refreshments when they need them. This new mobile app is a valuable addition to the service we provide to visitors.”
Nick Hucker, CEO at Preoday, adds, “A pre-ordering service makes perfect sense for events venues. They are always busy places and having the peace of mind that they can get refreshments whenever they want them will be of enormous benefit to visitors. We look forward to hearing from attendees how they use the service.”
It’s not as catchy as: ‘When is a door not a door?’ (answer, when it’s a jar) but it speaks to the idea that in-car collection, and the technologies that support it, are flexible enough to bend to the needs of a business and its guests.
Delivery can be daunting to the uninitiated, and it might be tempting to sign up with a third-party ordering aggregator that offers the service, such as UberEats, but other options could suit your business and brand better. Here we present three different ‘levels’ of delivery, starting with the most basic – and cheapest method: doing it yourself.
