ORLANDO, FL -- Sacoa reports that the 2019 International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Expo was the latest in a series of very successful IAAPA shows for the company.

'The number of visitors stopping by the Sacoa booth was even bigger than the last IAAPA trade show," the company said. Showgoers were especially interested in learning about the latest products and solutions for the entertainment industry that Sacoa displayed and demonstrated at the exposition. The most popular products at the show were the Sacoa Kiosk K4, the Sacoa Mobile App and the Spark Card Reader.

"Sacoa thanks all its customers, other friends and guests who visited the booth," the company said. Sacoa emphasized the importance of getting feedback on its customers' needs, new projects and the current situation of their businesses, which is an objective at every show in which Sacoa participates.

Industry newcomers were prominent among the showgoers at Sacoa's booth. "The interest shown by the 'rookies' was easily noticeable," the company observed. "They put their energy, effort and resources into their projects by relying on Sacoa´s expertise and experience gained in more than 60 years as operators, and some three decades as system developers, with 1,900 installations in more than 70 countries."

Sacoa is a leading worldwide supplier of revenue management systems for the amusement, entertainment and leisure industries. It offers customized applications to manage and control all aspects of an entertainment facility. The Sacoa PlayCard provides a wide range of money-making features impossible to achieve by traditional means or with other debit card systems, the company explained.

Flexible, responsive pricing strategies and enhanced customer loyalty opportunities made possible by the system can be implemented and consolidated by the use of  PlayCard, and translate into substantially increased revenues.

"While average card system revenues increase 20% to 30% over token or cash play, many of our customers report even higher earnings," Sacoa explained. "Each game and attraction may be priced according to its present entertainment value, and prices can be changed according to demand." Players can recharge their cards at any time, and the card-based system prevents cashiers from cheating the operator or the patrons.

Sacoa attributes much of its success to its origin as an operating company; its technology is developed "by operators, for operators." Long active in Argentina's amusements industry, it has become that country's leading operator of family entertainment centers; "the reason Sacoa PlayCard was founded in the early 90s was to improve the ROI with added control for the business," the company explained. It pioneered many of the features now common to POS systems, and remains in the forefront of industry progress. It's online at www.sacoacard.com.
