At Summon Inc., we're dedicated to elevating the valet experience for everyone involved. That means creating solutions that are not only efficient for operators but also exceptionally convenient for your valued guests. Today, we're excited to announce a powerful enhancement to our platform: real-time vehicle status updates delivered directly via WhatsApp.

Imagine your guests effortlessly receiving updates on their vehicle's journey—from check-in to readiness for pick-up—all within the familiar interface of WhatsApp, the world's most popular messaging app. No more relying on SMS or email alone; Summon brings valet communication directly to your guests' preferred channel.

How It Works: Simple, Smart, and Seamless

We designed our WhatsApp integration to be intuitive and hassle-free for both your team and your guests. Here’s how it works:

  1. Scan the QR code upon arrival: Guests arriving at a Summon-powered valet location simply scan a unique QR code. This instantly initiates a conversation within WhatsApp, linking their vehicle to the service.
  2. Receive a digital valet ticket instantly: After scanning, guests receive a digital ticket directly within WhatsApp. This ticket provides immediate access to their valet details, eliminating the need for paper tickets and streamlining the entire process.
  3. Enjoy real-time vehicle updates: From the moment their vehicle is checked in to when it's ready for pick-up and the transaction is complete, customers receive timely notifications directly within WhatsApp. This keeps them informed every step of the way, enhancing their overall experience.

Why WhatsApp for Valet Notifications?

We chose WhatsApp for several compelling reasons, all aimed at improving the valet experience for both operators and guests:

  • Seamless Convenience: No App Downloads Required: Your guests appreciate convenience. With WhatsApp, there’s no need to download a new app. They simply scan, receive updates, and go about their day. This reduces friction and makes the valet experience effortless.
  • Global Reach: Ideal for International Expansion: WhatsApp boasts a significantly wider user base than SMS, particularly in regions like Central and South America. This makes it the perfect solution as Summon expands into new international markets, ensuring consistent communication regardless of location.
  • Reliability and Speed: Instant, Consistent Delivery: Unlike SMS, which can be subject to carrier restrictions and deliverability issues, WhatsApp ensures that messages arrive instantly and reliably. This means your guests receive critical updates without delay, enhancing their trust and satisfaction.

Elevating the Valet Experience: A Smarter, More Connected Approach

By integrating WhatsApp into our platform, Summon is committed to removing any friction points and ensuring that guests remain informed throughout their valet experience in the most accessible and convenient method possible. This integration enhances the guest experience by providing:

  • Reduced Wait Times: Real-time notifications allow guests to plan their departure more effectively, reducing congestion and wait times.
  • Enhanced Communication: Direct communication through a familiar platform ensures that guests receive all necessary updates without having to download additional applications.
  • Improved Overall Satisfaction: A seamless and informative valet experience enhances customer satisfaction and encourages repeat business.

This is just the beginning of our journey. We are committed to continuously developing innovative solutions that benefit valet operators and their customers across the globe. By embracing technology and prioritizing convenience, Summon is setting a new standard for valet services.
