Templepoint Resort, a destination targeting a young, international demographic and modern families, sought to revolutionize its on-site experience. By partnering with Oveit, the resort moved away from fragmented payment and access methods to a unified, cashless ecosystem. Utilizing NFC/RFID wristbands and mobile-deployed technology, the resort successfully integrated hotel guests and event visitors into a single, seamless environment, resulting in increased operational agility and a frictionless guest journey.

The Challenge: Managing a Multi-Zone Experience

Templepoint is more than just a hotel; it is a vibrant hub featuring diverse amenities including the Kunsthaus bar, restaurants, a Yoga and Fitness section, merchandise boutiques, and various pop-up bars.

The resort faced a complex challenge:

1. Mixed Audiences: They needed to manage access and payments for both residing resort guests and day-visitors attending specific events.

2. Payment Friction: Relying on cash or cards at scattered locations (like the pop-up “Sunset” bars or the “Bazaar” area) increased queue times and the risk of theft or loss for guests.

3. Operational Blind Spots: Without real-time data, inventory and staffing for dynamic areas like the “RaveCave” or “Dome” were difficult to manage efficiently.

The Solution: A “Magical” Cashless Ecosystem

Oveit implemented a comprehensive Access Control and Cashless Payment system entirely driven by wearable technology

1. The All-in-One Smart Wristband Upon arrival, every guest—whether checking in for a week-long stay or a single-day event—received an RFID wristband. This wearable served as their digital wallet and key, holding:

• Access Rights: Entry to specific zones (e.g., Gym, VIP areas, specific events).

• Pre-purchased Perks: Digital vouchers for meals, drinks, or merchandise.

• Digital Balance: A reloadable wallet for on-site spending.

2. Mobile-First Deployment The resort utilized standard mobile devices to run the Oveit system, making deployment incredibly fast. There was no need for clunky, wired registers. Staff could roam or set up temporary Points of Sale (POS) anywhere—from the Yoga deck to the Dessert station—ensuring the technology adapted to the resort’s layout, not the other way around.

3. Thematic Integration To maintain the resort’s immersive atmosphere, the technology was integrated into locally specially designed devices. These custom enclosures masked the high-tech nature of the system, contributing to a “magical” integrated theme that resonated with the young, aesthetic-conscious audience.

Ubiquitous Connectivity The system covered every corner of the resort. Guests could move effortlessly from a workout at the Gym to a shopping spree at the Boutique, and finally to sunset drinks at the Lichthaus, paying with a tap of their wrist. Specific vendor points, such as the Tattoo studio and various food stalls, were all integrated into the same central financial loop.

Strategic Top-Up Network To ensure guests never ran out of funds, multiple Top-Up (TU) points were strategically placed throughout the property. Locations included the Entrance, the Dome, the Sunset area, and specific activity centers like the Yoga section. This availability encouraged spending and reduced the psychological barrier of “checking out” to get more cash.

Centralized Management For the resort operations team, the ability to centrally manage menus was a game-changer. Prices for drinks at the Kunsthaus or merchandise at the Magical Kiosk could be updated instantly across all devices from a single dashboard, ensuring consistency and allowing for happy-hour pricing or flash sales.

By adopting Oveit’s wearable payment and access solution, Templepoint Resort transformed its complex, multi-venue operation into a unified, high-performing ecosystem. The blend of mobile flexibility, real-time intelligence, and custom aesthetic integration proved that technology in hospitality works best when it is invisible, magical, and effortless.
