pharos Web for tech parks

One platform for your community, services and communication

Technology parks and innovation campuses

Connect the systems your community uses every day

pharos Web brings public information, protected services and onsite communication into one maintained platform. Start with the workflows that create the most friction and extend the solution as your park develops.

Tech Park Basel already uses this approach for its website, intranet, community services, bookings and displays.

When separate tools become operational friction

Technology parks often face the same underlying challenge: companies, employees, visitors, partners and internal teams depend on services spread across separate systems. The right combination of modules, integrations and channels is different for every park.

  • Company and people information is copied between website, intranet and spreadsheets.
  • Documents and services are difficult to target to the right audience.
  • Room and resource bookings are disconnected from profiles, communication and support.
  • News and events, service and issue tickets, and marketplace activity compete across separate channels.
  • Displays and mobile content do not reflect the current web content automatically.

pharos Web replaces that fragmentation with a shared content and service foundation while keeping each interface appropriate for its audience.

Available platform foundation

Core services ready for a technology-park solution

The final configuration is defined for each park, but these capabilities are already available within pharos Web and the Tech Park Basel implementation.

Access, profiles and permissions

Role-based areas, dashboards, personal profiles, audience targeting and a central message area.

Companies and people

Structured directories for locations, buildings, companies, employees, people and roles.

Documents and search

Protected document and media libraries with filters, audiences and cross-content search.

Bookings and services

Room and resource booking, personal agendas and service workflows integrated with the community portal.

News, events and service tickets

News, events, registrations and structured service or issue requests share the same platform.

Marketplace and knowledge

A reusable marketplace and knowledge-exchange foundation available without creating another product.

Email and push notifications

Targeted notifications are part of the connected service experience, not an isolated add-on.

Web, PWA and displays

Public websites, protected intranets, installable web experiences and pharos Displays share structured content.

One content foundation, designed for each channel

The value is not a single interface everywhere. It is one reliable source for structured information and services, delivered in the form each audience needs.

  1. Public website: presents the park, companies, news, events and services.
  2. Protected intranet: gives tenants and employees access to documents, profiles and internal services.
  3. Bookings and service workflows: connect resources, people, notifications and support.
  4. Mobile and PWA delivery: keeps important functions accessible without duplicating content.
  5. Onsite displays: reuse current information and can hand content to personal devices by QR code.

  • Modular implementation instead of a forced all-at-once replacement
  • Accessibility included in design and development decisions
  • Multilingual architecture available from the platform foundation
  • Swiss hosting options, including customer-owned environments
  • Maintenance, security updates, monitoring and continued development from appamics

Common questions

Answers on implementation, integration, hosting and long-term operations.

Is this a separate product from pharos Web?

No. It is a technology-park implementation of pharos Web. Modules and integrations are selected according to each park’s requirements.

Does a park have to replace every existing system?

No. pharos Web can integrate with existing services, replace selected workflows or become the shared foundation over several stages.

Can the platform be hosted in Switzerland?

Yes. Swiss hosting and customer-owned hosting accounts are supported. The exact operating model is defined during the project.

What happens after launch?

Maintenance, updates, monitoring and continued development can remain part of the appamics delivery model. The scope is agreed for each project.
