Powering festivals of every scale.
Out of New Orleans, where festival season never really ends. From the front gate to backstage to the last bar tab, one credential carries each guest: VIP artist, day-pass fan, or crew. We build the readers and the software they run on, and they keep scanning when the Wi-Fi quits.
The festivals challenge.
Crowds at the gate
Doors open and tens of thousands hit the gate at once. Every scan has to clear in under a second and still catch the fake.
Cashless everywhere
Bars, merch trailers, food trucks, activations: every register has to take a tap, and keep taking it when the signal drops in the back forty.
Every kind of credential
Artists, crew, vendors, press, GA, and VIP each get their own access. One record per person, tracked from load-in to last call.
The platform, tuned for festivals.
The capabilities that matter most for festivals: one attendee, one record, gate to checkout.
Access Control
Clear crowds fast on RFID, NFC, QR, or barcode. One device reads all four. Open and close any gate from your phone, and keep scanning when the Wi-Fi quits.
Explore
Credentialing
Build every credential type and zone in one platform, print badges on site, and confirm the face matches the pass at pickup.
Explore
Registration
Run walk-ups and pre-registered guests through one desk. Match faces, verify signatures, and let attendees check themselves in at a kiosk.
Explore
On-Site Payments
Take RFID, tap, or card on one device. Keep selling when the signal drops, and push menu and price changes to every stand at once.
Explore
Fulfillment
Mail credentials out ahead and run the box office on site. Handle swaps and upgrades, and keep a live count of every credential from warehouse to gate.
Explore
Data Capture
Tie every scan and tap to one attendee record. Capture sign-ups on your own branded pages and show sponsors exactly who their booth reached.
