The Living Desert Zoo and Garden in California has appointed a County Durham software firm.
n-gage.io has created a customisable mobile app for the global attraction, which has over 600k visitors every year.
“We’re delighted to secure this US contract with The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens who chose our powerful attraction management software and highly customisable mobile app following a rigorous selection process”; said Bryan Hoare CEO of n-gage.io.
“The Zoo and Gardens are renowned for their work around the world, contributing to wildlife conservation for over half a century. We’re proud to build on this legacy and provide their visitors with a digital mobile pocket guide that enhances their visit and experiences, and we’re actively looking to help more zoos, wildlife parks and other attractions across the US to transform their approach to digital engagement.”
Ranked as one of the 26 best zoos in America, it has more than 150 animal species and 52 gardens containing more than 1200 species of plants.
The app has been created to become a focal point for visitors and to provide more rich content and media. There’s also navigation around the 1200-acre site.
“We’re excited to launch this new app and offer our visitors an enhanced experience,” added Allison Krupp, Vice President of Marketing & Communications at The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens.
“We’re always looking for new ways to innovate and enhance our visitor experience. In n-gage.io we found a UK team of dedicated and innovative professionals who have developed a software platform and highly customisable mobile visitor app packed with features that we believe is a game changer for our industry. The app is now playing a major role in helping us to achieve our goal of continuing to inspire current and future generations around the importance of conservation. Additionally, we appreciate the multi-lingual features for our global tourism visitors.”
