Artisan Home Tour, an exclusive, ticketed event celebrates artistry, innovation, and design excellence, offers attendees a rare opportunity to experience exceptional homes firsthand. This year, the Artisan Home Tour team re-engaged with us to design a custom, in-app ticketing experience, seamlessly blending elegance and functionality to enhance every step of the digital journey.

The Opportunity

HFMN initially went with an off-the-shelf ticketing platform for the Artisan Home Tour but soon discovered its limitations. They turned back to KRUTSCH to develop a tailored, long-term solution designed specifically for their audience and event experience.

How We Did It

Stripe-integrated Ticketing System

KRUTSCH integrated Stripe across existing AHT products to deliver a scalable ticketing system that eliminates cash sales:

  • Mobile App - ticket-takers scan tickets and view home analytics, while tour-goers can purchase tickets.

  • Desktop - web ticket purchasing, retrieval, printing, and digital wallet support.

  • BOSSv2 - improved cloud services, account and ticket management, analytics across tickets, homes, and builders, and added discount code functionality.

Flowchart illustrating the integration of Stripe with different platforms: Stripe connects to a Mobile App for scanning tickets and purchasing tickets, a Desktop website for buying, retrieving, printing tickets, and digital wallet support, and a backend for account management, analytics, and discount codes.

3 Audiences. 1 Cohesive Digital Experience.

The design extends the AHT brand with a cohesive, multi-platform experience for three distinct audiences:

  • Tour-goers: the AHT website and mobile app make it easy to purchase, store, and redeem tickets.

  • Ticket-takers: use the admin version of the AHT app to efficiently check in guests at each home and access live analytics for the property they’re managing.

  • HFMN admins: manage ticket types, pricing, discount codes, and analytics with minimal technical overhead through BOSSv2.

The Result

The Artisan Home Tour's new ticketing platform delivered a frictionless, end-to-end experience for both it's users and it's admins. HFMN gained live analytics visibility, easy exports, and simplified management tools. Tour-goers now enjoy a streamlined purchase and entry process with digital flexibility. Ticket-takers benefit from a faster, more reliable system that minimizes human error.



The solution modernized how HFMN manages it's flagship event, positioning the Artisan Home Tour for continued digital growth in future seasons.
