Create a guest experience
for your place.
Cairn turns maps, routes, exhibits, stories, and on-site touchpoints into a guest experience people can open directly. Organizations author the experience and keep first-party engagement insights. Arborbase can put approved place data to work in more ways when operational context is useful.
Open the place.
Let guests explore it.
The people who know the place decide what belongs in the experience. Guests can open Cairn from a shared guide or on-site touchpoint, move through it, and return as the place and its stories change.

Save discoveries and progress so guests can return to the route later.
A complete guest experience.
Operational context when useful.
Cairn stands on its own. Start with the guest experience your place needs, then connect approved Arborbase context when it adds value for the organization behind the place.
Create and publish the guest experience.
Build maps, routes, exhibits, stories, and touchpoints that guests can open directly.
Connect approved place context.
Coordinate selected tree and place information without opening operational records to guests.
Build the guide.
Publish when it is ready.
Cairn starts with practical authoring: define the places, shape a route, design the placard, review the guide, and publish the finished guest experience.

Keep the system useful.
Let the sign stay simple.
Map the places
Start with the stops, landmarks, routes, trees, materials, and site details people should actually encounter.
Tell the story
Add concise interpretation, photos, and stewardship notes without turning the property into a directory.
Place the touchpoint
Use QR, NFC, or a smart sign to open the right guide at the right location while keeping the physical design quiet.
Review before publish
Keep draft, review, and publish states clear so teams can adjust the experience before visitors see it.
Guide the route
Connect stops into a walk, tour, or campus path that helps guests understand where to go next.
Learn and improve
Use first-party interaction insights to understand what guests engage with, then update the guide as the place changes.
One system.
Many destinations.
Gardens, zoos, and nature centers
Connect plants, animals, exhibits, collections, habitats, stewardship, and the stories visitors came to encounter.
Parks, campuses, and public places
Guide people across routes, landmarks, amenities, living collections, and changing site conditions.
Museums, cultural, and historic sites
Turn collections, architecture, public art, local history, and distinctive spaces into curated discovery.
Show us the place.
We’ll help open the path.
Begin with one place, one route, and the exhibits or stories people should encounter first.
