• Evolution of the techology

At the beginning of spotting technology, Spot me was only a professional tool.
Today, with the iPad, you can use this device for personnal and professinal utilisation. The creation of the iPhone was a turning point for meeting planners, as it helped control the circulation of people and information, and on a sustainable point of view, it reduced the quantity of paper as you can now download every information for the event on your phone.

• Mobile techology : a necessary tool for luxury?

Today, some high scale hotels have their own application to be in direct contact with their clients.
- direct communication with the concierge
- direct communication with room service
- wake up calls....

Imagine that the tiramisu that you ordered when you landed at the airport is waiting for you at your arrival in your room!

• Do you know about QR codes?

A visual code that doesn't mean anything at first but once your phone pictured it, all the informations linked to the code appear as a message.
For instance, you can insert a QR code on a business card, and, surprise!, all your details show up on your correspondant phone!

Here are a few examples of how you can use new mobile technology for your business.
