Pladia

Pladia is a visitor-designed platform purpose-built for cultural institutions and attractions, including museums, zoos, aquariums, and historic centers. Built on over a decade of experience delivering visitor technology for world-class institutions including the Bob Dylan Center, MCA Australia, and Peabody Essex Museum, we help operators create immersive, accessible, and revenue-generating experiences across every touchpoint, from the moment a visitor arrives to the final moment of a live event. Our platform spans mobile visitor guides, digital labels and kiosks, and event audio synchronization. We reduce operational cost, increase visitor engagement, support accessibility across languages and abilities, unlock new revenue channels through memberships, donations, sponsorships, and paid experiences, and give institutions the real-time data they need.

Empower is Pladia's browser-based visitor guide. No app download required. Visitors can scan a QR code or use Image Recognition and instantly access self-guided tours, dynamic wayfinding, multimedia content, and accessibility features. Empower also supports paid tour experiences, member-exclusive content, donation prompts, and sponsorship placements, turning the visitor journey into a channel for revenue as well as engagement.

Extend brings that same depth to fixed in-venue touchpoints. Digital labels are managed centrally through the Pladia CMS, replacing costly print runs and static signage with dynamic, updatable content. Built for institutions that want richer interpretation without adding staff or complexity.

Event Sync delivers lip-sync precision audio directly to visitors' personal headphones via QR code for drone shows, fireworks, projection mapping, and outdoor activations. No specialist hardware. No app. Audiences of any size receive a perfectly synchronized, personal audio experience, making large-scale events more accessible, more immersive, and more operationally manageable.

Better together with ROLLER. For cultural institutions using ROLLER to manage ticketing, memberships, and venue operations, Pladia extends that investment into the visit itself. Where ROLLER handles the transaction, Pladia takes over the experience, giving visitors something meaningful to engage with from the moment they walk through the door. Together, the two platforms cover the full visitor journey, from booking to departure, helping institutions deliver more value at every stage without adding operational complexity.
