accesso Technology Group PLC (LON:ACSO) shares rose on Thursday after it signed a three-year partnership with The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) to supply its Passport, Siriusware and Ingresso products.
The electronic ticketing firm said the NYBG would use the Ingresso distribution platform to expand its sales reach into international channels such as Groupon and TripAdvisor, while the Passport and Siriusware products, used in tandem, would provide a seamless experience to end-users while also allowing NYBG to gain “incremental revenues” and insight into visitor behaviour.
