What is ShoWare™?
ShoWare™ by VisionOne is a complete box office solution that minimizes the
expenses and risks associated with ticketing system implementation by
significantly reducing up-front capital expenses and implementation barriers.
In addition, ShoWare™ eliminates the continuing need for ticketing system
maintenance, upgrades and customization. Whether you utilize ShoWare™ as a
stand alone box office solution or integrate it with your existing ticketing
products, ShoWare™ will give your administrative staff complete control over
ticketing operations. You can easily create and modify box offices, remote
sales locations, promoters, venues, events, performances, seat maps, ticket
prices, patron data, and all other business functions associated with ticket
sales.
How does ShoWare™ work?
First, VisionOne builds a custom-branded ticket purchasing site that seamlessly
integrates into your existing website and uploads your seat maps for dynamic
seat selection. Then, we setup your SSL and Payment Gateway for secure online
and offline ticket sales. The result is simultaneous event sales from your box
office, website, call center, and remote sales locations. Patrons can select
their individual seats online, as well as from ticketing terminals or select
from Best Available seats based on criteria you select for each performance. No
matter what sales channel is utilized, all tickets are sold from the same
database of available tickets.
What are the costs associated with ShoWare™?
Costs will depend on amount of customization, estimated tickets sold utilizing
the system, and whether fulfillment services or call center is required. In
most cases, the solution can be implemented at minimal cost to your
organization and fees can be passed on to the ticket buyer. Our convenience
fees are some of the lowest in the industry, so let one of our Ticketing
Specialists provide you with a quote today. We'll prove that ShoWare™ is the
most competitively priced ticketing solution in the industry.
What are ShoWare™'s Reporting Capabilities?
ShoWare™ generates in-depth, real-time reports on-the-fly, allowing your
organization to evaluate every aspect of ticketing operations. Available
reports include Performance, Ticket Buyer, Activity, Accounting, and Customized
Reports. Reports can also be downloaded for use with other software
applications, such as Microsoft Excel, Access, and Word to name just a few.
What are the system requirements for ShoWare™?
All that is needed is a computer with an Internet connection and a browser
(Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later for Administration). Existing phone
lines are utilized for backup, and if you wish, a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
can also be installed. Of course, if you wish to print tickets, you will also
need a ticket printer, which is connected to your computer or network like any
printer. Ticket printers can also be included with ShoWare™ as needed.
