Get Ready for Bandwango 2.0

Introducing Bandwango Experience Builder.

Our very first self-serve offering, designed to completely change the way you build, manage, and distribute your passes. Our goal? To simplify the pass building process – reducing the previous 45-90 day timeline to as little as 1 day, providing both ease and flexibility for our partners.

In case you missed it, Bandwango CEO Mo Parikh hosted an exclusive webinar back in May, unveiling Bandwango Experience Builder. Mo provided an in-depth overview of the platform, highlighting all of the great work put in by our product and engineering teams over the last year and a half.

With an official launch coming up and passes already in the works, we wanted to give an exciting update and let you know what to lookout for.

Key Features of Bandwango Experience Builder

Bandwango Experience Builder introduces a set of powerful new features, making the pass building process more efficient and user friendly:

• Self-Guided Pass Builder to help you create passes quickly with pre-defined templates for our most popular pass types.
• Place-Management allowing you to add locations using Google searches or manually, complete with generative AI descriptions and Google Photos integration.
• Things to Do Management which enables the creation and management of inventory such as coupons and tickets, directly in the system.
• Prize Management to simplify creation and management of prizes, featuring options for local pickup, shipping and Bandwango fulfillment.
• Channel Management which allows easy customization of distribution channels, embed codes, and outbound communications. 

Additionally, Mo demonstrated the pass-building process live, showcasing how quickly and easily a gamified check-in challenge can be created. In minutes, locations were set up, inventory was added, prizes were configured, and the pass was launched!
