In today’s fast-paced society, subways are a primary form of transformation for millions of people all around the world. In fact; in New York alone, more than 4.3 million people ride the subway system every day…and more than 1 billion a year. Unfortunately, countless people still face endless frustration with the system. It’s not upcoming for people to miss their trains owing to unreliable, clashing information.

Sometimes, updates are provided – but how are people expected to hear this with earphones in their ears? People also need updates about delays, arrival times and more. For example; if someone only knew their train would be delayed, they could have wasted less time hanging around and arrived on time for the train.

Antikythera Technologies makes this and so much more possible through advanced Bluetooth BLE technology. Here’s how it works. We help our clients to strategically place numerous BLE beacons throughout their subway station. As long as the passengers have the accompanying app downloaded onto their smartphone, they can perform a myriad of tasks to simplify and streamline their daily lives.

1. Passengers can use their own smartphones to monitor train arrival and departure times. They can also book tickets, and receive an ETA while they are on the moving train.
2. If a passenger does not know where his or her platform is, or which one they need to go to reach their destination, they can do so by checking their smartphone – provided they are in range of our cutting-edge BLE beacons.
3. Passengers can easily check how long it will be until the train arrives, giving them more time to plan their schedule and minimize their wasted time.
4. We haven’t forgotten about the guards that keep your subway safe. They can keep an eye on what’s happening in and around the station, and stay informed to assist passing passengers.

In today’s world, there’s no better way to improve the operational efficiencies of your subway station, while increasing your revenue through asset tracking, communication, security and other proximity-based solutions.

Technology is always evolving, and as an electronic store, it’s your job to stay ahead of the game in this regard. Failure to do so could be detrimental to your business, especially with the current movement away from brick and mortar stores. Most people buy things online these days, so, if you want to keep them coming to your store, you need to make their experience worth every second. You need to offer them something they can’t (and never will be able to) achieve online.

Antikythera Technologies has developed a highly advanced system to do just that. How? Through Bluetooth BLE technology. By strategically installing our cutting-edge beacons throughout your store, you can officially take their experience to the next level in ways you never thought possible.

These beacons are small, battery-operated wireless devices – and this is how they work.

1. Save space by leaving those big red “FOR SALE” signs at home. As long as your customers have the connected app, they will be notified of any sales the second they walk past an item.
2. Once they’ve chosen an item, they can make a safe, secure and speedy payment from their device of choice in just a few clicks. No cards needed.
3. If your customer is searching for a specific item, but can’t find anyone to assist him or her, he/she doesn’t have to. Let your staff get on with more important stuff while our technology allows your customers to become their own personal “tour guide”. They can utilize our intuitive GPS map technology to find what they need, when they need it. This is possible through our BLE tags. Simple. It all works through Indoor Positioning Determination. As long as an item is tagged, a customer can find it.
4. If your customers want to find out more about a product they’re interested in (such as specifications, availability, colors and more) they don’t need to bother your staff with endless questions. They can connect to their device of interest and find out everything and anything they could possibly want to know.

However, all of this is really just the beginning. Perhaps you want to monitor your employees, or see how many customers have visited you in a day. With Antikythera Technologies, you can do all of this and so much more.

We specialize in developing simple solutions to complex problems, giving brick and mortar electronic stores everywhere the power they need to continue thriving. All you need to do is ask.

Supermarkets can be chaotic places. People generally want to get in and out as fast as they can, and not being able to find what they need (when they need it) can cause a lot of shopper frustration. Thankfully, 21st century technology means you can easily and efficiently eliminate this concern.

Antikythera Technologies provides supermarkets like yours with powerful BLE beacons, strategically placed throughout your store. These small, battery-powered and wireless devices work in unison with an app available for download by consumers. Provided they have it installed on their phones, your customers and staff members can perform a myriad of tasks whenever they come in contact with a BLE beacon:

1. Consumers can easily be notified and discover more about current discounts running in your store. This will save them an endless amount of time, abolishing the need to distract your workforce or browse discount booklets.
2. There is little more frustrating than needing to do your shopping, but not being able to find a trolley. If the rack is empty, hope is not. Your employees and customers can simply log into the app to locate the nearest available trolley. Simple. This is possible through cutting-edge Indoor Positioning Determination. As long as a trolley is tagged, it can be hunted down in a matter of seconds.
3. Let’s say a customer is lost, and cannot for the life of them find the product they’re looking for – let alone the department. There’s no need for them to bother or distract your busy employees anymore. They can simply log into the app and use powerful GPS tracking to find what they need, when they need it. It’s easy, fast and reliable.

You can also track and monitor your employees, speed up sales, get customers in and out quicker, and ultimately, grow your ROI. After all, with happier customers come more money. This is just the beginning, and the list of things this technology makes possible is truly endless.

While trends come and go, there’s one thing that will never change – people need clothes, and they will always want to visit your Department Store. In today’s competitive landscape, it’s more important than ever before to up your game, and stand out from the crowd. Yes; brick and mortar stores are battling to stay open, what with the world moving online. However, they are certainly not dead – or even dying.

Antikythera Technologies is changing the way brick and mortar stores do business, through powerful Bluetooth BLE technology. Before we tell you what you can do with it, allow us to first explain how it works. It’s simple, and any department store can start using it effective immediately.

We provide our Department Store clients with various strategically-placed beacons to be placed throughout their store. These beacons are small, battery-operated wireless devices. Don’t worry – our team will perform the full installation on your behalf. From here, both your employees and your customers can download the app that goes with the beacons, to perform an exciting and advanced array of tasks.

Now; here’s the exciting part.

1. When your customers walk past a beacon, they can access special offers relating to the clothing they’re passing. They can also discover how much stock is available of the item they’re interested in, and whether in comes in different colors, sizes and more. It’s all right at their fingertips.
2. For us, it’s all about enhancing the customer experience; and you can even use this technology to offer discounts, rewards, personalized deals, recommendations and more. You’re only limited by your imagination.
3. Perhaps your customers or employees are searching for a certain item. They can locate it with ease using our intuitive GPS map system, which will lead them in the right direction.
4. With this intuitive BLE technology, your customers can even make quick and easy payments at the point-of-sale. They don’t even need to pull out their card.

Our technology tracks your items and connects people via indoor positioning determination. As long as your items have a BLE tag attached to them, your staff and customers can find out the information they need in just a few clicks. This is a revolutionary and powerful way to deepen the personal relationships you have with your customers, not only bringing them back for more but keeping them inside for longer too. The concept can be compared to something like Uber, providing on-demand service that enhances convenience and affordability.

Here at Antikythera Technologies, we pride ourselves on shaping and delivering simpler, more streamlined concepts that make your life easier. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see what the future has to hold.
