Intellitix www.intellitix.com
Intellitix is the market leader in RFID access control and cashless payment systems. This year alone we activated over 1,000,000 RFID Tags at festivals including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Electric Zoo and Austin City Limits. We cut queues to a minimum, eradicated ticket fraud and unwanted resale, and our proprietary software and fully integrated hardware proved 100% secure and reliable.
The Intellitix platform more closely connects promoters and brands with their audience, and we work with any existing ticketing system or partner. Our bespoke solutions are based on decades of experience in event promotion and ticketing. These are fail-safe systems that can seamlessly integrate access control, cashless payments, social media and brand activity. And statistics show that festival fans love it.
RFID and cashless technology will change the face of festival-going over the next 12 months and we’re at the forefront. Working with us will increase on-site spend and identify substantial cost savings. But more importantly, you and your brand partners will gain unprecedented audience insight, while the fans enjoy a fun, non invasive technology, sharing their experience both onsite and online.
Intellitix is proud to be the exclusive technology partner of the UK and European Festival Awards. We offer smart systems for smart festivals and we’d love to tell you more. Please get in touch.
