General questions

What is Routegy?

Routegy makes it easy to create touchless, digital experiences in physical spaces - no app or shared devices required.

How can Routegy help me?

Routegy empowers the people you serve to make purchases, report issues, submit requests, and provide feedback in a contextual setting. This leads to increased sales, time savings, and lower operational costs.

How will the people I serve use Routegy?

They simply interact with Routegy touchpoints represented by QR codes, NFC tags, smart buttons, and sensors that you place in your physical spaces. No app required.

Do I need to install an app to use Routegy?

No, you don’t. Routegy uses your device’s built-in functionality, regardless of whether it runs iOS or Android: camera, NFC reader, and a web browser. Learn more about device compatibility.

How do I get started with Routegy?

Just create an account, define your first touchpoint and you are ready to go. Take a look at our Getting started guide to learn more.

Touchpoints

How do I choose what information is collected by a touchpoint?

This is done by defining a schema associated with each touchpoint. Routegy uses JSON Schema to define the kind of data to collect and how it is structured. Please look at some example schemas to learn more about the types of data that can be collected.

Can I customize what people see when they interact with my touchpoints?

The touchpoint page is built according to the schema associated with the touchpoint. Certain elements of the form can be customized by using special attributes in the schema and the page can be styled to match your brand.

Do Routegy touchpoints collect any additional data that isn’t defined in the schema?

Yes, in addition to information collected according to the schema, Routegy collects browser information, touchpoint form factor type, and user-defined metadata.

Can I create a touchpoint that doesn't require any input?

Yes, this can be done by attaching an empty schema to a touchpoint. A touchpoint with an empty schema will submit data immediately upon interacting with it.

How do I decide what happens to the data collected by a touchpoint?

This is done by attaching one or more touch handlers to a touchpoint. Handlers can range from simple notifications via email, SMS, or Slack message to complex interactions with your existing software, and anything in between.

Does Routegy store the history of touchpoint interactions?

In addition to processing all touchpoint interactions via touch handlers, Routegy also stores them and all collected data internally. Touch history can be accessed via the Admin App or the API.

Will Routegy notify me when someone interacts with my touchpoint?

It’s up to you to decide what happens when someone interacts with a touchpoint and this includes triggering simple notifications via email, SMS, and Slack touch handlers.

Is there any limit on the number of different handlers attached to a touchpoint?

No, Routegy doesn’t impose any limit on the number of handlers attached to a touchpoint.

Is there a limit on the number of touchpoints I can have?

The number of touchpoints is limited by the pricing plan for your organization.

Physical touchpoints and form factors

What physical interfaces can be associated with a touchpoint?

A Routegy touchpoint can be associated with a QR code, an NFC tag, a smart button, or an automated sensor.

When should I use a QR code or an NFC tag as an interface for my touchpoint?

A QR code, an NFC tag, or a combination of them works best for interactions that require input like purchasing flows, leaving feedback, or reporting issues.

When should I use a smart button as an interface for my touchpoint?

Smart buttons are best suited for quick reports and requests that require no input.

When should I use an automated sensor as an interface for my touchpoint?

What types of automated sensors are supported by Routegy?
