Many people are annoyed when they have to buy their admission tickets at the outdoor pool - with their bathing suits in one hand and their wallets in the other. Swimming pools and other leisure facilities want satisfied customers who feel comfortable and are not already annoyed at the entrance. The remedy is a system that allows customers to buy their tickets online and only have to show their cell phone with the barcode at the entrance.
This is exactly what Interbrain AGa full-service provider in the field of guest management for fitness centers and leisure and swimming pool facilities. The company's product portfolio includes software and web solutions, checkout systems, turnstiles, locker locking systems, access readers, chip wristbands and payment machines. The company is the market leader in Switzerland.
Development to the leading supplier
The company history of Interbrain is impressive. The company was founded in 1991 by Renzo Kressig and two partners as a software company. Relatively quickly, the three won Switzerland's largest fitness club at the time in the Hotel Nova-Park in Zurich as a customer. This laid the foundation for the company's entry into the fitness industry.
In 1996, Interbrain entered into a cooperation with Klafs, the largest sauna manufacturer in the world. From then on, in addition to the fitness industry, the company was also to increasingly serve pools and wellness facilities, in order to make access more convenient for customers there as well and to ensure smooth processes. In 2002, the city of Zurich, which is the largest municipal pool operator in Switzerland with 24 facilities, wanted to set up a complete new cash register and access control system for all pools and ice rinks. Interbrain prevailed in the competition against companies from Switzerland and abroad and won the contract. In Switzerland, Interbrain had long been the market leader and the customer base in Germany was also growing more and more, so that a branch office was founded in Stuttgart. In 2008, Interbrain was awarded the contract by the city of Vienna for the system equipment of the traditional Viennese baths. More and more larger pools such as Mayamare in Halle and Spreewelten in Lübbenau recognized that Interbrain provided optimal solutions for their facilities, which made things easier for the customer and made him more satisfied.
Now Interbrain has also arrived in the online age. For example, the company provides e-commerce solutions that make it possible to offer all services online as well. Since summer 2014, bathers in Zurich and Lucerne have been able to buy their tickets online and receive them as barcodes directly on their cell phones.
