OROUNDO Mobile GmbH – Cultural Places is a platform for culture and tourism. With our smart trending solution and a strong sense for community-based platforms, we are helping cultural tourism to be guided into the 21st century and our partners to get connected with new target groups in the digital era.
OROUNDO is the creator and operator of the Cultural Places project – the app and platform. Additionally, we work on an EU funded project related to secure cloud computing, in a partnership with Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER) Zagreb.
OROUNDO was founded 5 years ago in Vienna, Austria – a country known for its tradition in music, arts and culture. Nowadays, we have offices in 5 countries and employ more than 30 employees and counting.
At our heart are the Cultural Places app and platform. Culture and tourism are the main fields of our work, with a focus on providing relevant information to visitors of cultural institutions, cities, users of tourist offers. We also promote all kinds of content surrounding tourism on an international level.
Oroundo is focusing on user experience on site.
Users can obtain relevant information at different points of interest or at the point of sale. We are offering a bilateral communication channel which enables us to provide the user of a smartphone with contents of our customer´s own channel. On the other hand, our users can decide which information is important for them, they can give direct feedback, subscribe the channel of our customers or retrieve relevant information directly on site via their smartphones.
Our Oroundo application is providing all customers from every branch with his own channel. This channels allows direct communication with the user, wherever he wants. Whether the user wants to enjoy the visit of a museum, a guided city tour or receive information about a retail product on his smartphone – we try to make it as simple as possible – for customers and users.
How does it work? Beacons (small Bluetooth transmitters which can be installed anywhere) send signals at the relevant points of interest . If a user is just interested in one specific product, art object or service, he can receive this information directly via the channel of the company or cultural institution. If not – well, that´s it. We are not spaming, we are selecting and connecting.
