How Technology is Transforming Parade of Homes
The way we experience home tours has drastically evolved with the integration of innovative technology. ParadeSmart is at the forefront of this transformation, providing software solutions that enhance the experience for attendees, simplify event management for organizers, and deliver valuable insights for home builders and Home Builder Associations. Here’s a closer look at how our technology is revolutionizing home tours.
Seamless Ticketing and Access
Gone are the days of printed tickets and cumbersome check-in processes. With ParadeSmart’s app, attendees can:
- Automated Tickets: Tickets are 100% automated in your app. By simply making the ticket purchase in the app, they will be stored and ready for use with a simple tap of the bottom menu.
- Scan QR Codes for Entry: At the front door, volunteers can use their own smartphones to scan attendee tickets, eliminating the need for additional hardware.
- Purchase Tickets Online: Attendees can purchase tickets all within the app, or online on your website.
This seamless process ensures a smooth entry experience for visitors and reduces logistical headaches for event organizers.
Interactive Features for Attendees
The ParadeSmart app goes beyond just ticketing. It offers features that actively engage attendees during the tour:
- Favorite Home Voting: Visitors can vote for their favorite homes directly in the app, with customizable voting categories tailored to each event.

On the backend, ParadeSmart empowers associations and event organizers with actionable data and insights:
