Accesso agrees partnership with Japan’s Sansei technologies

Technology solutions provider Accesso Technology Group and Japan’s Sansei Technologies - which manufactures amusement rides and stage equipment - have signed a three-year strategic agreement that will see the Osaka-based company become the exclusive reseller of accesso’s virtual queuing products in the Japanese market.

With accesso seeking to expand the footprint of its virtual queuing technology in Japan, Sansei will serve as the exclusive reseller of Accesso virtual queuing products in the country.

Sansei will lead regional efforts for target identification and also contribute to other areas of the sales process such as basic, local customer support, while Accesso will maintain control over the full solution design and system maintenance, as well as manage higher-level customer care.

Commenting on the agreement, Sansei Technologies’ Yasuharu Nishiyama, Managing Executive Officer and Division General Manager for its amusement ride division, stated “accesso is the industry leader when it comes to virtual queuing, and the potential their technology holds for operators - especially when it comes to boosting operational revenue - is undeniable.

“We are excited to partner with accesso and are eager to introduce the power of their virtual queuing solutions to operators here in Japan.”

Accesso Chief Commercial Officer, Andrew Jacobs added “for years, we have seen our virtual queuing technology redefine operations for theme parks and attractions around the world.

“Through this partnership, we look forward to delivering that same level of success to operators in Japan, and we are grateful to do so with Sansei Technologies, an incredibly like-minded and well-connected partner.”
