Digital transformation is no longer an option but a necessity.

 

Whether you are a fledgling startup, an established business or a market leader, it has become a key driver to stay ahead. It is the new imperative to succeed in an ever-evolving competitive landscape. When you are always on the go in today's fast-paced world, giving your customers and employees quick and easy access to information is a must-have (not a nice to have). As time passes, adopting emerging technologies becomes the permission to play to deliver a seamless experience to your stakeholders. From software to hardware, the performance equation shifted to prioritising engagement and productivity, modernising how enterprises interact with their target audience. The race is on... The question is, are you ready?

CF Leisure Limited approached Grant Thornton for a solution catering to their leisure and entertainment needs. With its venue located at the heart of Saint Julian's in the iconic Mercury Towers, the client wanted a system that reflects the high-end nature of their business — providing a seamless experience for all their customers, from booking attractions to processing payments and everything in between.

Planet Play started differentiating itself from its peers in the industry from day one, both in the way it operates and its service offering, setting itself apart from the competition. With a growing desire for families to spend quality time together, they set themselves apart from the competition by adopting user journeys that one would typically encounter beyond the Maltese shores. They create memorable adventures for all by hitting the ground running through a cashless system powered by credits, making it the perfect destination for a fun day out.

What did we do? ... We implemented a game-changing integrated system for an indoor family entertainment arena including a food court and restaurant. We enabled the Planet Play at the Mercury to automate processes and make streamlined operations a reality, managing all aspects of the customer's journey without the clutter of multiple disparate systems.
