How to Make CheckIN360 Work for Your Business
CheckIN360 works by giving clients the ability to personally notify you of their arrival. It requires an iPad for the app and any phone that can receive text messages. This page walks you through the steps to make CheckIN360 work for your setting.
Getting Started:
Before you setup the app consider the following:
Pick a Location:
Finding the right spot to place the iPad is important to improve client flow. Place the iPad in a visible and accessible location that does not disrupt the typical traffic pattern. Usually at the end of a receptionist desk or a nearby wall. If you need some ideas we are happy to help, just hit us up on the contact page.
Choose a Way to Display the iPad:
Where you decide to place the iPad may determine what type of mount or stand you use. If you have a location on a wall that works well for you space this may be a good option but most may find a floor or counter stand works best and allows the most flexibility. If you are unsure of the best option we suggest starting with a stand to find the best location before installing a more permanent mount.
Make Sure the iPad has Power:
In some settings a fully charged iPad could have enough power to meet the demand. However, in most cases you will need to find a way to power the iPad. The simplest way is to plug it in as you normally would. In settings where there is no direct AC power outlet you can buy a Power Over Ethernet adaptor like the one shown here to supply power to the iPad. This is what we use in our office since the best location for the iPad is not near a power outlet.
