RFID or cards: which should we use?+
RFID wristbands when the footprint is large, runs several days, or needs access control and alerts. Printed or branded cards when the stations are close together and the budget is tighter. Both give one record per guest; RFID adds hands-free taps and real-time location of activity.
How does registration work in a busy footprint?+
Guests register once: on tablets at the entrance, by QR while they stand in line, or through a pre-event link. They receive a wristband or card, and every station scans or taps it. No station asks for a form again.
What does the client see during the event?+
A live dashboard: registrations, taps per station, outputs per station, peak hours, and totals by day. At the end, one export or a CRM push with every output and consent attached to the guest record.
Can different sponsors have different branding in the same footprint?+
Yes. UFC X ran ten activations with brand-tailored output per booth on one platform. Each station gets its own overlays, share page, and prints while the registration and data stay unified.
Does it need internet?+
Each station runs locally, so a dropped connection never stops a tap or a capture. The shared backend syncs when connected, and footprints usually ship with their own Starlink or bonded cellular kit so the dashboard and deliveries are live.
How long does a footprint take to build?+
Proven stations such as photo kiosks, trading-card kiosks, and timed games go live in days once brand assets arrive. A new station type or a client API integration takes weeks, not months, because our developers are in house. The registration flow can be prototyped in days for the pitch.
Who runs it on site?+
Footprints with several stations ship with a PivotXP lead for load-in and day one. From there your brand ambassadors run the stations from tablets and the PivotXP lead stays through the run or hands off, as the program needs.
What does it cost?+
Every quote is built from the lines on this page: registration layer, credentials, per-station kiosk rates, custom software, prints, connectivity, crew, and shipping. Send the footprint plan and the dates and you will have a line-item estimate the same business day.
