Accesso Technology Group has acquired VGS, the ticketing and visitor management system provider whose clients include some of the world's biggest theme parks.
Following the deal, VGS’s SnApp platform will be rebranded as Accesso Horizon and operate as part of the Accesso product set. VGS’ global team, who are based in offices in Milan, Dubai, Singapore and Orlando, will join Accesso.
VGS, which is headquartered in Milan and was founded in 2011, supports a client roster of more than 100 venues with the selling, distribution and redemption of tickets and entitlements. As well as working with leading theme park brands in the US, Dubai, Singapore, Japan and China, VGS supports zoos, observation towers and other attractions in a total of 11 countries.
Steve Brown, Accesso’s chief executive, said: “I am beyond excited to announce the transformative acquisition of VGS. Its solution fits squarely into our technology roadmap and its top-tier customer base speaks volumes for the quality, scalability and functionality of the platform.
“This acquisition will allow us to provide our clients and future partners with technology that has the capacity to scale with their business long into the future and keep up with the growing demands of the modern consumer.”
Hosted either on-site or in the cloud, VGS’s unified platform offers customers an open API to enable direct integration with other systems. Real-time intelligence allows operators to optimise sales with dynamic pricing, availability management and sales channel management. Multi-venue support allows for cross-promotion and cross-packaging of offers, while the solution provides linguistic support for venues across the globe.
Paolo Moro, VGS’s chief executive, said: “I’m delighted for VGS to join forces with Accesso. Our technology is complementary with Accesso’s offering.
“We share the same absolute commitment to providing the best possible unified solutions to optimise our customers’ operations and enhance their guests’ experience before, during and after their visit.
“We look forward to working together as we move ahead to this exciting next chapter.”
