Case study
Custom innovation for a global hospitality company
Opportunity
One of the world’s leading hospitality and amusement companies partnered with GXO to personalize and distribute wearable technology for the guests of its vacation facilities. The result elevated the guest experience to an unprecedented level by allowing the wearer to travel seamlessly between different destination points throughout the venues.
Solution
GXO invested considerable time and expertise in collaborating on a solution that uses RFID technology. Our industrial engineers worked closely with the customer and the manufacturer to develop a bespoke software and hardware solution that ensures efficiency, security and control. As a result, the personalization of the wearable devices is performed with 100% accuracy.
We also collaborated on an out-of-box experience that enhances our customer’s brand from the moment the guest receives the shipment. Our packaging engineers worked with vendors and artists to develop packaging that provides a delightful keepsake. Our industrial engineers ensured that the design met production and shipping objectives, and our purchasing professionals source materials that meet our customer’s criteria for high quality at low cost.
Results
- GXO’s RFID solution ensures that the right name is engraved every time as part of the fulfilment process, while the packaging enhances the out-of-box experience.
- Our customized technology ensures, prior to distribution, that each wearable device works properly.
- The entire order-management flow — from receiving to shipping — is efficient, transparent and secure.
