Many audiences.
The employee is looking for the meeting room, the tourist for the café with a view of the Rhine Falls, the coworker for the booking code for the glass door.

01 / STARTING POINT
A site you have to know
to find your way around.
Tenants, staff, meeting guests, coworkers, hotel guests and tourists from the Rhine Falls, all on the same grounds with historic buildings, courtyards and several entrances. The website sigareal.ch informs people before the visit. On site, something was needed that sits in the visitor's hand: in their language, without an app store, maintained by the team that knows the site.
Many languages.
Guests from the Arab world, from Asia and from all over Europe. Signage can't handle that. A phone can.
Twelve languages liveNo second website.
Companies and events shouldn't be maintained twice. The app syncs them with sigareal.ch and links back.
Maintain once02 / THE SOLUTION
An app in the site's own design.
Built on day.guide.
- DESIGNSIG logo, SIG colours, real pictures of the site.Nothing about it looks like a template. The app visibly belongs to the SIG Areal, not to a vendor.
- ENTRYOne QR code, the same everywhere.On signs across the site, on business cards, on the website. Scan, choose a language, get going. The language choice stays saved for up to twelve months.
- CONTENTSynced with sigareal.ch.Companies and events come from the existing website, places from Google Places. The team maintains photo routes and offers itself.
- OPERATIONAdministration, roles, figures.Authorised staff maintain content on the phone or on the computer. The dashboard shows what visitors use.
03 / MODULES IN USE
What the SIG Areal App
can do today.
Nine of the ten modules are in use at the site, the tenth is prepared. For another site the selection would differ: an office building needs photo routes above all, a tourism region tours and routes.

IN USEFROM IDEA TO TOUR SUGGESTION
Three hours to spare.
What shall we do?
A real example from the SIG Areal App: visitors choose “3h”, “History & culture” and “Food & drink”. From this, the TourGuide creates a suggestion with several stops.
- Choose the time. How long would you like to be out and about?
- Combine interests. For example, discover culture and then have something to eat.
- View the suggestion. The stops include short descriptions and timings.
- One tap, and off you go. Dayguide plans the outing, Google Maps takes over the route with all its stops, in the app or directly in the browser. No extra Dayguide app to download. Just explore and set off.
The screenshots show the example output as actually generated. Suggestions and timings are for orientation; visitors check availability and opening hours with the respective provider.

06 / FIGURES FROM REAL USE
What visitors
actually do.
Since 18 May 2026 the app has counted visits, page views, time spent, areas used and languages chosen, without cookies and without IP addresses. The key insight: four out of ten visits don't run in German. Eleven of the twelve languages are chosen.
The most used are the TourGuide and the company finder, followed directly by places and the SIG Areal offers. Exactly the areas visitors need on site.

“First-time visitors used to ask at reception or call us. Today they scan the code at the entrance and are standing in front of the right door a few minutes later. And our guests from abroad read everything in their own language.”
