THE CHALLENGE

Event Technology Is Often Fragmented

Event organisers typically rely on separate systems for ticketing, guest communication, event information, payments and on-site experiences.

Guests may need to search emails for tickets, download event apps, find venue information elsewhere and queue for purchases once they arrive.

We saw an opportunity to bring the entire event journey together through a platform guests already know and use every day: WhatsApp.

THE WHATSAPP EVENT TICKETING SOLUTION

SmartTickets

Bot Builders developed SmartTickets as a flexible WhatsApp event ticketing and automation platform that connects organisers and guests before, during and after an event.

SmartTickets can operate as a complete ticketing solution or work alongside an organiser’s existing ticketing platform, adding an interactive WhatsApp experience with event information, digital wallets, food and drink ordering, VIP upgrades, transport, live updates and more.

FROM AN IDEA TO A COMPLETE EVENT PLATFORM

SmartTickets evolved as we explored one question: how much of the event experience could we make better through WhatsApp?

01

TICKETING PLATFORM
SmartTickets began as an idea for a standalone digital ticketing platform.

02

THE SMARTTICKET EXPERIENCE
The concept evolved into an experience layer that could work alongside existing ticketing providers — allowing organisers to enhance a standard event ticket without replacing their current system.

03

BEYOND THE TICKET
We expanded the experience beyond entry, introducing digital payments, food and drink ordering, VIP upgrades and additional event services directly through WhatsApp.

04

COMPLETE EVENT ECOSYSTEM
Today, SmartTickets can operate as a complete ticketing solution or integrate with an organiser’s existing platform — connecting ticketing, payments, guest communication and event experiences in one WhatsApp-powered system.
