Guest Wi-Fi is more than a convenience; it's a powerful data channel that maps real-world visits into your business systems. SocialSign.in serves as an enterprise Wi-Fi overlay, leveraging captive portal integrations to capture first-party consented data. This data is then seamlessly routed into your CRM, ticketing, and loyalty systems.
Our approach requires no app and no additional hardware, ensuring a low-friction deployment that works with existing infrastructure like Cisco captive portal and Aruba guest Wi-Fi.
How SocialSign.in Overlays Your Wi-Fi for Data Integration
SocialSign.in operates at the captive portal layer, sitting on top of your current Wi-Fi infrastructure. This creates a low-friction data pipeline that transforms anonymous foot traffic into actionable customer records. While technical configurations are handled discreetly, marketers and operators gain:
- Real-time CRM Enrichment: Visitor profiles are updated instantly upon guest authentication.
- Ticket Association: For event venues, physical visits are linked directly to ticket IDs.
- Loyalty Program Integration: Guest Wi-Fi connections can match loyalty accounts and trigger instant opt-ins for offers.
As an overlay solution, IT teams maintain full control over network policies. SocialSign.in focuses exclusively on integrating with enterprise systems, preserving security and scalability without altering access point provisioning.
