Safari Solutions and GoZone WiFi Deliver Connected Shopping Experience at American Dream Megamall

With a vision of the modern, connected shopper at the center of the project, American Dream carefully selected the most innovative technology partners in order to turn that vision into a reality. GoZone was selected as the WiFi analytics solution provider after evaluating the venue’s unique needs for custom development, integration, and scalability, “We presented the customer with the art of the possible,” says Carl Van Dusen, COO at Safari Solutions, of presenting the American Dream team with WiFi analytics solutions.

(St. Petersburg, FL) – GoZone WiFi (GoZone), the leading North American venue intelligence company, in partnership with Safari Solutions, today announced the deployment of their WiFi analytics and marketing solutions at the American Dream retail complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. A global destination for entertainment and shopping, the American Dream megamall aims to deliver state-of-the-art wireless connectivity across the three million square foot venue – space which is dedicated to hosting more than a dozen entertainment attractions and over 450 retail, food, and specialty shops.

“While other providers in the market offer off-the-shelf products, we were able to take a truly customized approach to the partnership with GoZone,” Van Dusen said. “The GoZone product and business development teams delivered a flexible and phased approach to deployment, which is exactly what a successful long-term engagement at the enterprise level demands.” 

Visitors to the megamall can experience seamless WiFi connectivity and a thoughtful approach to the connected shopping experience. “Data drives operational decisions inside enterprise systems, and GoZone’s advanced venue intelligence makes us excited about using location and marketing analytics to develop a fresh approach to retail,” says Mark Rewers, Director of IT at American Dream. “The user-friendly dashboard not only gives us great insights into who our customers are, but how they behave within the venue.”

“The integrated cloud environment gives us room for agility within a complex and evolving WiFi infrastructure,” says Rewers. GoZone and Safari have integrated into over 1,300 Cisco WLC access points to deliver personalized visitor engagement opportunities and advanced analytics across the venue.

Safari’s work at All-Star game was terrific. Our client had a last-minute ask that my team was not aware of until the day a representative arrived on site. Their techs didn’t have a solid plan on what their needs were but Safari’s complete knowledge of networks and sharp inquiries into what our client was trying to do literally saved the day in getting their project off the ground. They could NOT have pulled off what they needed without Safari’s involvement.

I travel to sporting events, especially golf tournaments, often. Critical to my daily operation is stable and quick connectivity as I'm constantly transmitting large volumes of images. I know that when I'm working with the Safari Team I've got nothing to worry about. Their systems always work and the set-up and connection are simple. I would highly recommend Safari Events to any vendor in need of voice and data services

This event provides a unique challenge to us with the venue moving to a new location each year. I know that when I show up at the trailer that things are going to be ready. I really appreciate that you purchased additional equipment for your inventory as part of my backup plans and risk mitigations. The Safari Team is very professional, responsive, and committed to quality for flawless delivery of the event. Thank you!

I just wanted to put on record my thanks for your help. The connectivity you always provide is the best we get at any tournament worldwide and is always stable. When we had a minor problem this year, you kindly changed things for us several times until, with your help, I was able to identify that it was actually a problem at our base back home! Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to do that. Many thanks, See you next time!
