Embed is Set to Make History Again @ IAAPA Expo 2021, Unveiling its Latest Breakthrough Design Innovation

DALLAS, TEXAS, October 28, 2021: Transforming the business of fun since 2001, Embed, the worldwide leader of the cashless business management systems and solutions for the amusement, entertainment, and leisure industries is gearing up to make history again at IAAPA Expo 2021 in Orlando, Florida.

History Made: The Award-Winning Mobile Wallet Unveiled at the IAAPA Expo 2019
Two years after unveiling the breakthrough innovation, Embed’s Mobile Wallet (the virtual game card that sits in a consumers’ mobile wallet) is still the ONLY non-banking, finance-payment or loyalty card business and brand card that sits in the consumers’ Google Pay or Apple Wallet! Unlike anything in the market, Embed was the FIRST to go-to-market with the Mobile Wallet, partnering with Apple and Google to gain certification solutions approval for the next-gen of cashless (the virtual game card in the consumers’ mobile wallet) - an accomplishment that no other business solutions provider has been able to achieve.

As part of its 20th Anniversary gift to the industry and to help accelerate the business recovery of entertainment businesses everywhere, Embed is offering the Mobile Wallet free for another year by signing up here. Guests have instant access to their balance information, ticket counts, and other details for non-stop fun. App downloads are a well-known barrier to consumer entry, and unlike all other mobile business solutions that require this, Embed’s Mobile Wallet comes with no additional app download required.

As consumers stay immersed in a game or attraction with little to no disruptions, the more they spend. With Embed’s Mobile Wallet, a consumer can top-up/reload their game card directly from their mobile device without ever leaving the game – increased profitability for the operator.
Embed will also be giving away their reimagined RFID wearable media to IAAPA Expo participants. Guests who are spotted wearing these innovations at the trade show will be featured on Embed Spotlight.

Making History Again: The Latest Breakthrough Innovation
Embed will be unveiling its latest technology breakthrough innovation at IAAPA Expo 2021 that is guaranteed to rock the industry. Embed spent 2 years in the lab developing a cutting-edge product that is set to become the breakthrough tech innovation of the year. Not unlike the Mobile Wallet, no other business solutions player has anything close.

“Embed aims to Transform the Business of Fun by enabling, empowering, and easing the business of fun with our technology innovation. We have a clear vision of the FEC of the future, and the product we’re unveiling at IAAPA Expo 2021 is a product that will transform what FECs are willing to accept from their business solutions providers. Business solutions should enable operators to optimize the consumer experience while driving greater revenue and profit per square foot, which is the aim of the product we’ll unveil at the trade show this year. The only thing I’ll say about the product is that ‘Size Matters,’ and I’ve already said too much!” said Renee Welsh, CEO, Embed.

Exclusive Deals: Make the Switch & smartTOUCH Upgrade
Embed is currently offering exclusive deals for both current and new customers. In the “Make the Switch” offer, operators on a competitor system can upgrade to an Embed solution in an exclusive unbeatable, almost-no-cost deal here.

Current Embed customers can upgrade to the award-winning smartTOUCH arcade debit game card readers at almost no cost. While immersed in game play, guests can stay in the zone with the seamless experience smartTOUCH readers offer.

What to Expect
IAAPA Expo 2021 goers can find Embed at the Orange County Convention Center, Booth #606 from November 16 to 19th. There will be daily Happy Hour sessions from 2 to 6PM, free product demos of Mobile Wallet & TOOLKIT, freebies, and the big reveal of Embed’s latest tech design innovation: the tech breakthrough announcement of the year.

Embed Redefines Reliability & Bags Awards at Amusement Expo International 2024

DALLAS, TEXAS, Mar 22, 2024: Embed, the ultimate cloud-based, cashless solutions provider for the amusement, entertainment, and leisure industries showcased its Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions and other breakthrough innovations at the Amusement Expo International (AEI) from 20-21 March, emphasising on the importance of reliability when it comes to choosing a solutions provider to future-proof your business. Embed is known to partner with global tech giants, maximising their groundbreaking technology to adapt it for the family entertainment sector. The award-winning Mobile Wallet is still the only Apple and Google-certified FEC solution in the industry since its launch in 2019; the only non-banking, non-finance, non-healthcare solution approved to sit in a consumer’s mobile wallet (not a mobile app that requires a download and ongoing maintenance). And, STATS, the business intelligence dashboard jointly developed with Amazon Web Services. “Fresh from The DEAL Show in Dubai, AEI has been another amazing show and we’re privileged to keep our ear to the ground and stay close to our customers – the members of the Embed family – friends, and partners in the industry, especially at a time when system reliability is a hot topic in the industry,” shares Renee Welsh, CEO at Embed. “We are in a strategic position to respond to the industry’s need for reliable tech partners they can trust; we’re a solutions provider that partners with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for their data centres and tech development. Our confidence comes from knowing that we partner with the best. AWS tech is reliable enough for NASA, Formula 1, the US Defence, Netflix (with 260M subscribers), and Facebook (with 3B subscribers), then we can guarantee that the Embed family of FECs are in good hands!” Speaking further about their SaaS solutions, CTO Andy Welsh comments on how a system’s reliability is as crucial as the data centres and tech partners running it: “The Embed system architecture is built to work even during network outages. It’s time to make the switch and upgrade to the Embed system when your current system is letting you and your guests down.” “It’s at times like these, when other cashless players are plagued with data centre issues that result in mass outages amongst their FEC customers during busy weekend hours that Embed’s cutting-edge reliability is crystal clear!” adds Sara Paz, CMO and Embed Success Squad™ Transformation Guru. The Embed Success Squad™ was introduced at IAAPA Orlando 2023 as the company’s testament to customer-centricity and commitment to their customers’ business growth and success. The dedicated team of consultants, champions, and trainers – a mix of growth gurus, SaaS experts, and payment specialists help the Embed family experience the transformational growth SaaS solutions drive. “With 1-year FREE Mobile Wallet and 3-months FREE STATS subscriptions, complimentary payment gateway cost-saving analysis, free best practice training from the industry’s best FECs, free marketing kits and/or complimentary printed assets that cover the entire customer journey in an FEC, and the Embed GoTrain™ – all these are done to drive consumer uptake of Mobile Wallet,” adds Paz. Here are other highlights of the show: Major Awards Embed is this year’s AMOA Operator’s Choice Awards winner, recognising the company’s commitment to innovate new and exciting solutions FEC operators can trust and maximise to enable, empower, and ease their business of fun. “We are honoured to bag this amazing award and beyond grateful to our partners and members of the Embed family for making this possible!” says Renee Welsh. In addition to this major win, Embed also won the Best Booth Design for its new modular and sustainable build: “This is such a huge win for us! Since using this at IAAPA Orlando 2023, this booth is a testament to our efforts towards sustainability - from digital brochures and collaterals to minimise our carbon footprint and booth modular for the flexibility to switch booth size, scale, and designs without wasting resources,” says Kathleen Goy, Global Head of Events and Marketing Chief of Staff. Booth Action Along with its roster of integrated hardware and software solutions, Embed showcased its SaaS solutions Mobile Wallet and STATS - the real game-changers in terms of profitability, operational efficiency, lower costs, and superior guest experience. The smarter, faster, and supercharged smartTOUCH™+ game card reader also made its AEI debut.
