The strategic partnership aims to increase DART’s customer record collection, and the quality of the data by implementing Purple’s Guest WiFi solution, a branded captive portal, and collecting real-time customer insights with additional WiFi Analytics. 

Purple and Dallas Area Rapid Transit announced today that the companies have entered into a long-term business relationship focused on creating key contacts and demographic information enabling them to understand their customers and future communication with them.

Dallas Area Rapid Transit has chosen Purple’s best-in-class Guest WiFi solution to be implemented in their Dallas transport venue across 300 access points. By utilizing Purple’s captive portal functionality, DART will personalize splash pages and customers can log in to their WiFi network through a customized form or by using their social media credentials.

With Purple’s captive portal functionality DART will be able to manage every step of the WiFi experience to enrich their CRM records with unique and valuable data from over 220,000 daily passengers that move across their extensive network of rail, bus, and paratransit services.
