Utah Business Announces 2009 iQ Awards Finalists
And Twelve Horses is one of them!
In the past year, we have worked very hard to bring to the market place an innovative new ticketing system that provides airline quality ticketing for medium-sized businesses. While there are quite a few masters of ticketing out there, we feel that we have a unique perspective and position in the electronic ticketing space.
A few things we made sure to address:
- Price: We found current pricing to be ridiculous and borderline monopolistic.
- Integration: Ticketing should not be a closed system and instead play nicely with other platforms like, for example, Salesforce.com.
- Mobile: There is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to get a ticket to your mobile phone.
- Customer Service: We are getting rid of frustratingly long and unnecessary Will Call lines.
- Branding: It should be your branding on all customer touch points including:
- Web
- Mobile
- Printed Tickets
- Kiosks
- Security: Can you believe an airline was not encrypting credit card information?
- Marketing Meets Operations: Managing and implementing multi-channel ticketing should not be confined by complex systems but instead be easy to use.
- And much more in regards to ticketing, fulfillment, customer service, and reporting.
Needless to say, we hope to be chosen in our category. As you can see below, winners will be announced on January 28th. Wish us luck!
