Canada: Connect&GO Expands Its Portfolio by Further Company Acquisitions & Newly Created Technology Platform Kapture

Last fall, Montréal, Canada-based Connect&GO, a leading global provider of RFID solutions for access and payment as well as operating management systems in the leisure industry communicated its intention to further consolidate its market position by making various company acquisitions (cf. EAP news of 3 Sep 2020). Now the company announced the acquisition of the two Canadian companies Nomad Logic and 3DB Solution, whose technological solutions will complement the portfolio of Connect&GO in the form of the newly created platform “Kapture: Memory Maker”. This platform is aimed in particular at amusement and theme park operators who want to use modern photo and video systems to increase customer loyalty and generate additional revenue.

“For the owner of an amusement park, the potential revenue of such a service is very important. The majority of systems today only allow for the purchase of a single printed photo after the attraction. With Kapture and our virtual wallet platform, visitors can purchase the souvenirs at the time they purchase their tickets, at on-site kiosks, and even after their visit,” explains Marc-André Dubé, Connect&GO’s Product Manager.

Founded in 2002, Nomad Logic is an experiential technology studio that specializes in creating unforgettable and shareable connected experiences using advanced photography, video and augmented reality that has deployed projects for well-known companies such as Norwegian Cruise Lines, Nintendo and Facebook. Formed just a year later, 3DB Solution is an expert in park photography and developed a ride photo system that has been in use at several major theme parks over the years. (eap)
