Conclusion
Q/A session
With the supplied documents and the ample information, all of the stakeholders provided during the interview, our team concluded on the problem and the possible solution for Claybrook Zoo.
The Problem we found was
1. Lack of online presence (website)
2. Non-digital Record keeping
3. Manual ticketing
4. No Visitor interaction system (KIOSK)
Since its establishment in 1965, zoo's system has not changed much
The zoo is currently using paper-based system for all its record keeping needs
Important records like animal index are stored in paper forms. These records include information like animal name, id, arrival date, or any of it history.
There is always a high risk that these documents might be damaged easily
A new system in place like the KIOSK system and the website can make the data available and of use to general public too
Sudrishya
In this new database system, all the information are sorted and made accessible and secure at the same time
Either from
Cloud
On Site Servers
For the fact that zoo doesn't have enough technical human resource to manage an onsite servers and system
Cloud
CMS and VPS
Microsoft Azure
Since speed is of our concern for this massive project, we have chosen this database application.
For all animal species within the zoo, the electronic catalogue will need to keep a record of the following essential data:
- Species Name.
- Animal “given” Name.
- Date of Birth of Animal.
- Gender.
- Average Life Span (e.g. months/years).
- Species Category/Classification.
- Dietary Requirements.
- Natural Habitat Description.
- Global Population Distribution.
- Date animal joined the zoo.
- Typical animal dimensions (e.g. height, weight).
Specialist information for specific types of animal will also be included in the database

Website
Right now, Claybrook Zoo doesn't have a website
So, its online presence is a little to none
Compared to competitors, this is a huge disadvantage
Having a good website can drastically improve a lot of things
Better customer reach
Meaning new customers discover your zoo
Business owners
looking to partner with the zoo can find you easily
Your ticket booking
is made simpler and accessible through the internet
You can get more people informed and updated about your events, offers and your sponsorship schemes
Getting donation and sponsors is more effective
Looking at some site we can see the impression it makes on the visitor
Chester Zoo
Bristol Zoo
The paper-based animal index will be digitized and available through the website and the online database to all staffs and management. This way public can also see the share of updated information available to them at their leisure.
With the creation of the website,
They can receive weekly newsletters from your zoo and sign up for new offers and sponsorship.
This not only increases the customer interaction but engages the young digital generation.
Online ticket booking is a great trend or in some way the norm nowadays. Moving to this shift is certain to benefit the zoo
The ticket booking system has been implemented into the website
If feasible, our team plans to make them the standard for the Claybrook zoo for issue on the site.
Online ticket booking as service
Ticketebo
Besides that, online sponsorship method and payment system will be a added to the system
Our design team came up with several designs of the system which was reviewed by Mr. Mathew Jones previously.
Some improvements and addition have been carried out and system well thought out from the interaction with Mr. Jones.
Now the team would like to present the demo of the relevant system
Adhering to the color theme maintained by the zoo and its policies, following mockups have been finalized to be presented to the client
