Phoenix Technology, Dejavoo Systems, ExaDigm, MYnizaga
Consulting, and Smart Chip Technologies (Pink Sheets: SCTN) are
collaborating with project manager and operator, Total Venue
Control (TVC), to deploy the turnkey event management solution at
this festival and other stadiums. TVC projects as much as
$1 million in daily festival
concession sales.
"Venues get free program setup and fees are derived from
increased revenues," explained MYnizaga Managing Partner Robert
Buchan. "It's the ideal, high value, low cost upgrade for
concerts, festivals, events, and sports venues."
TVC currently operates the first cashless U.S. professional
sports stadium for the Wichita Wingnuts, an independent
professional baseball team in Wichita,
KS. [Click here to watch an interview with the
Witchita Wingnuts General Manager discussing the benefits of
cashless concessions.]
"Faster, wireless, cashless transactions mean quicker lines
for hungry fans, who have increased their per capita concession
purchases by 30%," according to TVC CEO Cameron Wall. "Additionally, the
cashless stadium program has significantly reduced labor and cash
handling costs, and has effectively eliminated employee
theft."
Smart Chip Technologies is providing event management software.
Its award winning, patent protected, end-to-end loyalty and
payment software solution allows stadium managers to continue
adding card functionality to benefit ticketholders.
"The dynamic software enables personalized, relevant rewards
or discounts to optimize the customer experience," stated

solution can be integrated with ticketing, parking, or access
control applications to further reduce operational
expenses."
