-  5 year contract extension signed with Australian park for use of accesso LoQueue^SM patented virtual queuing solutions - 

- Dreamworld was first Australian customer to adopt accesso LoQueue -

accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider to leisure, entertainment and cultural markets, today announces a contract extension with Dreamworld, one of Australia's premier theme parks, to continue providing accesso LoQueue virtual queuing solutions for a further five years. 

Known as "Q4U" at Dreamworld, the park will continue to use both the smartphone-powered Qsmart^SM and the Qbot^SM virtual queuing device to allow users to wait for their ride without having to stand in a physical line. The time saved can be spent at other attractions, restaurants and bars around the park, driving further incremental revenue for the venue and ensuring a higher quality of experience for its guests.

The expansion of accesso's global footprint and diversifying business portfolio is underpinned by the ongoing strength of the product suite that made its name. In accesso LoQueue, the Group has a suite of patented virtual queuing solutions, positioning accesso at the heart of a venue's operation.

Commenting, Tom Burnet, Chief Executive Officer of accesso Technology Group plc said:

 "Dreamworld was the first theme park in Australia to deploy accesso LoQueue solutions and this contract extension is another important vote of confidence in the value and capability of our technology".
