About accesso Technology Group, plc
At accesso, we believe technology has the power to redefine the
guest experience. Our patented and award-winning solutions drive
increased revenue for attraction operators while improving the
guest experience. Currently serving over 1,000 clients in 30
countries around the globe, accesso's solutions help our clients
streamline operations, generate increased revenues, improve guest
satisfaction and harness the power of data to educate business and
marketing decisions.
accesso invests heavily in research and development because our
industries demand it, our clients benefit from it and it makes a
positive impact on the guest experience.
Our commitment to improving the guest experience and helping our
clients increase revenue is the core of our business. Our
technology solutions allow venues to increase the volume and range
of on- and off-site spending and to drive increased
transaction-based revenue through cutting-edge ticketing,
point-of-sale, virtual queuing, distribution and experience
management software.
Many of our team members come from backgrounds working within
the attractions and cultural industry. In this way, we are
experienced operators who run a technology company serving
attractions operators, versus a technology company that happens to
serve the market. Our staff understands the day-to-day operations
of managing complex venues and the challenges this creates, and
together we strive to provide our clients and their guests with
technology that empowers them to do more and enjoy more. From our
agile development team to our dedicated client service specialists,
every team member knows that their passion, integrity, commitment,
teamwork and innovation are what drive our success.
