Launch of New Product
accesso Unveils Revolutionary New Smart Wearable, accesso
Prism(sm)
accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology
solutions provider to leisure, entertainment and cultural markets,
today announces the unveiling of accesso Prism, the most
technologically advanced smart park wearable device available.
Introduced today at the IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando,
Florida, accesso Prism is a compact, un-tethered and lightweight
wearable offering a variety of functions that can be adapted for a
wide range of venues including theme parks, water parks, ski
resorts and museums. Through its swipe-screen interface, these
features also make accesso Prism the first device capable of
delivering a fully integrated 'smart park' experience where guests
and operators can seamlessly interact, enhancing user autonomy and
improving the opportunity for venues by increasing their in-park
presence with the customer. The new accesso Prism wearable has a
multitude of functions including:
-- Virtual Queuing: A waitfree experience as guests reserve
their place in line, change their ride selection and monitor their
ride-return time.
-- Payments: A walletfree experience with cashless payments via
secure Near Field Communication (NFC) technology.
-- Messaging: Push-notifications for proximity-based marketing,
operational updates, or status of pending virtual queue
position.
-- Photography: Tagging of ride and park photographs for
seamless collection throughout the day.
-- Access: Hasslefree entry at park turnstiles, guest lockers, and resort hotel room doors.
-- Intelligence: Collects guest journey information and provides
valuable data to inform park operations and marketing.
These capabilities position accesso as the technology provider
for tomorrow's attractions, increasing the volume and range of
in-park spending for the operator, driving transaction-based
revenue for the Group, and further embedding accesso at the heart
of venue operations. This kind of innovation also increases
accesso's product differentiation against industry peers, extending
market leadership and helping to accelerate growth.
Commenting, Tom Burnet, Executive Chairman of accesso Technology
Group plc said:
"We're extremely proud to unveil Accesso Prism, a device that
sets a new industry standard for in-park wearables and sets the
tone for guest experiences in the future. We have invested
considerably in the product and we are thrilled to introduce it to
the world.
Accesso Prism reaffirms our commitment to product innovation and
reflects our ongoing desire to provide best-in-class technology to
our customers. "
Commenting, Steve Brown, Chief Executive Officer of accesso
Technology Group plc said:
"Untethered by a smartphone or rigorous pre-planning
requirements, guests can now enjoy a carefree, hasslefree and
waitfree experience when they visit their favorite venue.
With Accesso Prism, we introduce a new way for visitors to enjoy
attractions, and for attractions to offer more fun, more
convenience, and less waiting for their guests."
