In this edition of Hardman Talks,  Steve Brown, CEO of accesso Technology Group, talks to our technology analyst, Richard Jeans, about the company’s ongoing strategic execution and growth opportunities. Steve gives some interesting insights into recent developments at the company. He addresses the significance of the group’s latest acquisition, 1Risk – a digital liability waiver provider widely used in the North American ski industry. By bringing this technology in-house, accesso aims to enhance integration across its platform and deliver greater value to its customers, while creating a significant competitive advantage.

The conversation explores the rapid traction of accesso Freedom, the group’s food and retail point-of-sale platform, which already has over 30 customers since launching just 18 months ago. Steve highlights how integrating food and retail with ticketing systems provides operators with powerful new capabilities, including seamless entitlement validation and enhanced customer experience. He also outlines the group’s progress in composable commerce architecture that enables customisable, modular e-commerce experiences better tailored to individual venues.

Steve explains how consumers are faring with the current challenging macroeconomic backdrop and how the group benefits from its increased market diversification.  We learn about the progress being made to scale up the group’s global sales infrastructure. Finally, Steve discusses the evolving strategy to target new customers across the globe including in the smaller regions.
