About us

Via Guide - Physical, electronic and virtual visitor guidance systems for optimal control of customer flows.

Via Guide is part of the family-run Cronenberg Group based in Sauerland. As a manufacturer of guidance systems, we are committed to a company and craft tradition that goes back more than 300 years. Driven by the highest German quality standards, we have been designing and manufacturing all value-added steps without exception in the heart of the Sauerland region since 2004 and can justifiably say that we really do produce Made in Germany.

Our solutions guarantee optimised queues, enhanced capacity controls and various information collection options, such as people counting or the recording of visitor dwell times. Via Guide employs aviation specialists (e.g. former airline employees and pilots) who know the requirements of passenger handling, the routes and processes in the terminal and on the airfield as well as the security requirements in all areas inside out.

Smart Guidance: SMART SHORTCUT

With SMART SHORTCUT you keep queues "as short as possible and as long as necessary".

Through efficient real-time queue management by VIAGUIDE, the change of walkways is standardised, meaning you improve and accelerate waiting processes, contributing to an optimised waiting experience. The result: optimised queues with more satisfied customers, visitors or passengers.

SMART SHORTCUT is simplified in many places:

Staff opening and closing queue belts between visitors is eliminated and queue layouts are standardised and adjusted in real time. Smart Gates are controlled by remote control, web interface or fully automatically by 3D sensors that measure customer flow at all times.

  • The benefits of SMART SHORTCUT

  • Innovative measurement using 3D sensors

  • Optimized queues

  • Rerouting through Smart Gates (fully automatic possible)

  • Fewer personnel required
