A common thread unites the Olympics, multi-site water parks, and single family entertainment centers (FEC)—a technology platform that spans the breadth of the entertainment industry, from global spectacles to neighborhood attractions.
Meet Connect&GO, a Montréal-based company that offers a wildly popular cloud-based platform, data-driven insights, and a client-centric approach. The company has played a pivotal role in driving industry growth and success for its clients in the family and leisure markets.
"The fact that we were first in the industry with an all-in-one, cloud-based platform gave us an advantage versus the competition," explains François-Pierre Moffet, chief operating officer of Connect&GO. “We're able to integrate with multiple players—like access control hardware, RFID lockers, marketing automation, and point-of-sale for food and beverage (F&B)—providing a lot of capabilities to venue operators. In essence, we play nicely with others.”
Founded in 2012, Connect&GO initially thrived by specializing in RFID technology for major live events held annually, like the Super Bowl, Olympics, and Comic-Con. But the company pivoted in 2018, shifting its focus to the family and leisure industries where businesses would use their system daily. This facilitated long-term partnerships, enabling Connect&GO to help enhance guest experiences and drive revenue at amusement parks, zoos, aquariums, and family entertainment centers.
Since its 2018 pivot, Connect&GO has emerged as a leader in providing cutting-edge technology and unparalleled support to help businesses thrive. With a focus on cloud-based innovation, a client-centric approach, and data-driven insights with real-time data, Connect&GO empowers its clients to achieve new levels of success.
