Introduction to intelPlug: Revolutionize business experience #

In today’s fast-paced world, technology enhances convenience and sustainability across various industries. Imagine a system where customers can control electronic devices in cafes, restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, libraries, and more with a simple scan of a QR code. This is the power of intelPlug, an innovative solution that empowers customers to activate and control devices like heaters, coolers, chargers, lighting and any electrically operated item directly from their smartphones.

The Concept Behind intelPlug #

At the heart of intelPlug is the goal to transform the work experience by integrating digital control over physical spaces. Using QR codes, intelPlug bridges the gap between customers’ digital commands and physical devices within a business. This approach not only boosts customer satisfaction by giving them control but also helps business owners manage electricity costs. Additionally, it creates opportunities in the Gig economy and supports global environmental efforts by donating 💚 1% of point sales to organizations focused on reducing carbon footprints.

Not later, right away: We use Stripe to collect payment, so we quickly transfer 💚 1% of the collection at the time of payment. More info about Stripe Climate


In short, this is a complete win-win concept.

Role of Gig Workers in the System;

To ensure the long-term healthy operation of IntelPlug, gig workers are available to help business owners with the setup and maintenance of these smart devices. These workers provide valuable assistance, ensuring that the system runs smoothly and efficiently. This creates new job opportunities and supports the gig economy, benefiting both workers and business owners.

> Customers #

intelPlug operation is characterized by its simplicity and user-friendliness, summarized in three steps:

1. Scan QR Code: Customers can either scan the QR code available on the table or enter the device name manually, followed by selecting the desired duration for device operation.
   
2. Buy Points: In case of insufficient points, customers can conveniently purchase intelPlug Points through a secure payment system. Existing points can also be utilized.
   
3. Pay as You Go: The intelPlug Points system ensures that customers can use their remaining points at other participating cafes and restaurants, maximizing utility and value.
   

The Points System #

The points system offers a transparent and flexible way for customers to access services. Customers can easily purchase points (You can think of an average of 100 points as 1€.) and use them across multiple businesses that have implemented intelPlug. This ensures that their investment in points provides value beyond a single visit, making the system both convenient and cost-effective.

Contributing to a Greener Future #

intelPlug transcends the mere convenience of device control by embedding a commitment to environmental sustainability in its operational model. Specifically, 1% of all point sales is allocated to organizations dedicated to reducing the carbon footprint. This initiative reflects intelPlug dedication to contributing to a greener future, ensuring that both businesses and customers play a role in promoting environmental responsibility.
