Accesso Technology hopes to make a splash with St Louis contract win

Accesso Technology Group on Thursday won a contract to implement its accesso Siriusware technology at the St. Louis Aquarium and entertainment complex at Union Station in St Louis, Missouri, which will open later this year.

The AIM traded company has partnered with zoo and aquarium developer and operator zoOceanarium Group and hospitality specialists Lodging Hospitality Management for the project, where its technology will be used to power the destination's behind-the-scenes tours and animal encounters, in addition to general admission at the two-story, 120,000-square-foot aquarium

Paul Noland, chief executive of Accesso, said: "Union Station was once one of the busiest rail terminals in the world. Today, it's a living piece of St. Louis history. Through this agreement, our partners at zoOceanarium Group and Lodging Hospitality Management have allowed us to help usher the station into the future, with our streamlined feature-rich solutions."

Accesso is optimistic that the new partnership reflects accesso Siriusware's ongoing momentum, with the solution bringing together front-gate, point-of-sale, membership passes, access control and eCommerce capability.

"We are honored to be partnering with these organisations at the ground floor and can't wait to watch history in the making as we begin writing the next chapters of Union Station's story together," said Noland.

Accesso Technology Group's shares were up 0.44% at 853.75p at 1605 BST.
