ASCENDING

Captive portal platform for lodging providers

Overview

SA Trails provides captive portal technology for hotels and other accommodations in South America to manage guest Wi‑Fi experiences. When guests connect, the portal displays messages, collects guest data, and guides them to services or promotions, all through the login screen and on-screen prompts. The system helps providers build a clearer picture of their guests and monetize interactions by generating passive income from guest activity. The goal is to improve guest communication, understand customers better, and create automatic revenue from how guests use the portal.
