Digital guides that activate precincts
Pladia helps retail and tourism precincts connect visitors to everything a destination offers—shopping, dining, playgrounds, cultural attractions, green spaces, and events. Digital guides make it easy for people to navigate and engage with complex sites.
Help visitors explore with confidence
Cultural precincts bring together shopping, dining, events, and cultural attractions, but the experience can feel disconnected. Pladia’s browser-based Progressive Web App gives visitors one place to see everything on offer. Guests simply scan a QR code to open the guide, build their own itinerary, and access relevant information throughout their visit.
Connect destinations into one cohesive precinct
With venues, public spaces, and activities often spread across several streets or buildings, precincts can feel fragmented. Pladia creates a digital layer that links museums, retailers, eateries, and public spaces into a seamless digital experience. Visitors move effortlessly between indoor and outdoor areas while discovering more along the way.
Step-by-step navigation without the blue dot
Exploring large cultural precincts can be confusing for new guests. Pladia’s Pathways feature provides landmark-based digital directions, guiding people between buildings, attractions, and open spaces without relying on GPS or beacons. This makes it easy for visitors to orient themselves and reach every destination with confidence.
Promote what’s happening, in real time
Highlight markets, events, and temporary activations alongside permanent attractions. Update information instantly, from opening hours to late-night programs, keeping visitors engaged across the entire precinct.
Showcase culture and local stories
Visitors can explore heritage trails, public art, and cultural experiences through audio, images, and text, and more, deepening their connection to the destination.
Wayfinding kiosks
Interactive kiosks help visitors find maps, events, and attractions at a glance. With a quick QR scan, they can take directions and content with them on their phone, creating a seamless link between on-site displays and Pladia’s browser-based Progressive Web App.
Digital solutions for navigating and activating cultural precincts
Seamless navigation across large precincts
Pladia’s Pathways feature gives visitors clear, step-by-step directions using visible landmarks instead of GPS or beacons. Guests can confidently move between shops, cultural sites, playgrounds, and green spaces with estimated times and accessible routes available at every step.
Real-time updates that drive event participation
Precinct teams can instantly publish information about activations, seasonal installations, or ticketed events. Visitors access accurate, real-time updates through their mobile guide, reducing confusion and increasing attendance across the precinct.
Digital storytelling that showcases local culture
Pladia supports immersive, multimedia storytelling for precinct landmarks, public art, and heritage trails. Visitors can engage with audio, images, and text that bring each space to life while connecting them to the history and cultural identity of the precinct.
Tools to highlight local businesses and dining
Cafés, restaurants, and retailers can be featured within the digital guide, making it easy for visitors to find nearby options. This drives foot traffic and helps commercial tenants capture more spend while enhancing the overall visitor experience.
Accessibility designed for every visitor
Step-free navigation, screen reader support, multilingual content, and accessible audio options help everyone, including those with mobility, sensory, or language needs, experience the precinct without barriers.
Sustainable alternatives to printed maps
Pladia reduces reliance on printed materials by delivering digital maps and up-to-date information directly to visitors’ phones. This lowers costs, minimizes waste, and ensures content reflects live conditions, like temporary closures or new installations.
Actionable data to optimize operations
Analytics tools track visitor movement, content engagement, and dwell time across spaces. These insights help precinct teams refine navigation, improve storytelling, and identify opportunities for new events, experiences, and partnerships.
