Here is the story of the Italian entrepreneur, who has a small souvenir shop in the center of Rome.
Watching the tourists, he came to the conclusion that people were a little depressed during their walks - with travel bags and heavy backpacks. They have to constantly pull them along or look for a place to leave them.
Therefore, the entrepreneur Jamie got the idea to install automatic lockers directly in the tourist area. And not just one, but a whole network of such lockers.
Knowing the cost of such equipment, he took an average figure for the use of cell per day of about €5-10.
Knowing the cost of such equipment, he took an average figure of 5-10 euros per day for using a cell. Having calculated the profitable part, it turned out that the equipment will pay off on average about a year. This is normal for Europe.
Opening of an automatic complex in Rome
But Jamie did not like it. And he began to think how to increase revenue from such a complex.
Having talked with my friends, and now partners, I came to the conclusion that through the storage room you can transfer the keys to the hostel and bedding. Which very significantly saves the time of the tenants in the central part of Rome.
Когда к нам приехал Джейми с этой идей, мы в начале взялись за голову. Мы производители оборудования мы не делаем сайты.
Джейми сказал, что сайт с платежной системой он сделает в Италии, с нас только автоматический комплекс с различными размерами ячеек. Мы согласились. Но позже выяснилось, что сайт должен постоянно работать с ячейками: бронировать их, сообщать оплачена задолженность или нет, видеть время пользования и тому подобное. Сайт без шкафа, как шкаф без сайта существовать не могут. Они как одно целое.
Then they decided to create a powerful web resource with which tourists will book cells for their travel bags, book a hostel or apartment, also receive bedding and pay for the whole thing. At the same time, payment can be made with any world map directly on the site or directly at the automatic complex. When Jamie came to us with this idea, in the beginning we took up our heads. We are equipment manufacturers; we do not make sites.
WEB SITE FOR RESERVATION AND PAYMENT OF CELLS
Jamie said that he will make a site with a payment system in Italy, with us only an automatic complex with various cell sizes. We agreed. But later it turned out that the site should constantly work with cells: book them, report whether the debt was paid or not, see the time of use, and the like. A site without a cabinet, like a cabinet without a site, cannot exist. They are as one.
We had to get to work. Found a team. Developed technical specifications. Started work. In February, the equipment was delivered to Rome, assembled and put into operation! And our client did not have time to open an automatic point of storage of things in the center of Rome, as the first customers rained down. Who will be in Rome, be sure to try this service. I'd like to get feedback
All the best!
