Earn more from every visit

Earn more from the visitors you already have.

You can't double your visitor numbers. You can make sure everyone on site knows about the keeper experience, the afternoon tea and today's offer in the café. Ranger puts them in front of visitors at the right moment, and shows you which ones they tapped.

  • Promote experiences and offers

Run the day, whatever the weather

Rain at two? Move the show in thirty seconds.

Change a time, move a display or cancel it from your phone. Every visitor's phone updates within seconds. Fewer people at the desk asking what's happening.

  • Edit today's schedule from your phone

    Move a talk, add one, cancel one. It takes about thirty seconds.

  • Wet-weather and cancellation alerts

    Move a display indoors or cancel it, and visitors with your centre's notifications on hear about it straight away.

  • Reminders before every talk and display

    Ten minutes before each one, visitors on site get a nudge, so fewer find out about it in the car park.

  • Messages to past visitors who opted in

    Send news or an offer to everyone who visited and kept notifications on.

  • See how today's going

    Today's visitors, QR scans and your most-viewed animals, on your dashboard.

  • Memberships and sponsors, sorted

    Issue a pass, give them the code, and it is in their wallet.

What your visitors get

Everything they need on the day, in their pocket.

  • What's on, and when

    Talks, feeds and displays, with the next one flagged as it gets close.

  • An illustrated map

    Your site, illustrated, with every enclosure marked.

  • A page for every animal

    Its story, its conservation status, and a sponsor button where you offer sponsorship.

  • Memberships and passes

    Their pass lives in the app, ready to show at the gate.

No account needed. Visitors get Ranger from a QR code at your gate or a tap-to-download card on the desk.

Why they keep it

The app visitors keep after the day out.

Hardly anyone keeps a single centre's app after the visit. So an app built for one centre is a line to your visitors that closes the moment the family gets home.

Ranger stays installed because it works at the next centre too. Months later that family still has it, and you can still reach them: the news about new arrivals, the half-term offer, the nudge to become a member.

Visitors keep it on their phone, so you can still reach them months later.

Your centre's name leads on your pages. Visitors see you first, Ranger second.

Every centre that joins puts you in front of their visitors. The earlier you are on, the more of that you get.

Your conservation story

Tell it properly, not on a laminated sign.

Every animal gets its own page, showing where it stands on the IUCN Red List, from Least Concern to Critically Endangered. Your conservation and rescue work sits alongside, in every visitor's pocket.

It makes the education and conservation work you already do easy for visitors to find, and easy for you to point to.

Built on a working park

Built around a real day at a busy centre.

Ranger started at Gauntlet Birds of Prey, home to the largest birds of prey collection in the North West. So it's built around how a busy centre actually runs: shows and talks that move with the weather, the animals people come to see, and the experiences they book before they leave.

  • Times that change with the weather
  • A page for every animal, with its story
  • Experiences promoted at the right moment

Getting started

We set it up. You run your day.

  1. 1

    We talk it through

    A call or a visit. We want to know how your day runs: when the talks are and where everything sits.

  2. 2

    We build it for your site

    Your illustrated map and your animals, loaded and ready. We give you the QR codes to put on your own signs and posters. Most centres are live in a few weeks, not months.

  3. 3

    You change it from your phone

    From then on, today's schedule takes thirty seconds to update.

When you need us

Email us and someone who knows your centre picks it up. For bigger teams, there is a support portal to log requests and see where they are.

Questions owners ask

Do visitors need an account?

No. They scan a QR code at the gate and download the app. No sign-up.

Will visitors see other centres?

Yes. Ranger covers many centres, which is why people keep it. On your pages, your centre's name comes first.

How long does setup take?

Most centres are live in a few weeks, including your illustrated map. We do the building; you check it over.

How much does it cost?

It depends on your visitor numbers. Every centre gets every feature. Most of the cost falls in the months you're open. Ask us for your price.

Talk to us
