Customer
Sea to Sky Fire & Ice Geopark is a mountainous corridor brimming with geological activity along British Columbia’s south coast. It’s a land shaped by tectonic uplift, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, ongoing glaciation and erosion – with dramatic geological stories to be told. Sea to Sky Fire & Ice Geopark is an aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark.
Challenge
Create an easy-to-use guide app that can help visitors traverse the geopark, learning about the environment in a non-intrusive, yet engaging and immersive way. The app required a simple to use, and easy to update content management system that would allow the app admin to make changes to the app content at anytime.
Solution
The app uses a modified white-label app template and the Locatify CMS for managing the app content, including geo tour maps, points of interest (Geo-sites), game challenges and media elements.
Testimonial
“The set up of our Locatify branded app has been an efficient and positive experience. We were able to easily integrate our unique identity and ideas into the template and when we had questions and requests, the staff were responsive with personalized tutorials. The approachable Creator CMS system allows us to be dynamic, updating our content and tours quickly and efficiently as needed. To this point, we are very impressed with the functionality and services provided by Locatify and the app and look forward to future possibilities for our Geopark.”
