Product overview ================================================================ CaptiFi is a SaaS captive-portal platform that sits between a venue's WiFi hardware and the open internet. When a guest connects to the WiFi, they are redirected to a branded splash page that captures their email, name, mobile number and marketing consent in line with UK GDPR and PECR. CaptiFi then: * Stores the contact in a built-in customer database (CDP). * Triggers automated email and SMS campaigns: welcome, win-back, birthday, post-visit Google review request, special offers. * Pushes the contact to integrated tools: Mailchimp, Revinate, Toast POS, Leat Loyalty, Twilio SMS, Google Reviews (live today; Facebook, Airship, Gmail/Workspace, ChatGPT, Zapier, Slack, HubSpot in active development). * Provides multi-venue analytics: visit counts, repeat-visit rate, opt-in rate, campaign open/click/reply rates. * Exposes the data via CSV export, scheduled reports, and a documented REST API. CaptiFi works with all common enterprise WiFi hardware: TP-Link Omada, Ubiquiti UniFi, Cisco Meraki, Aruba, MikroTik, Ruckus, Cambium, DrayTek, EnGenius, Netgear. Customers without compatible hardware receive a pre-configured plug-and-play access point at no charge, against a £60 refundable hold released on cancellation. ================================================================ 3.
