Axess Japan Company Profile

Located in the eastern part of the ancient city of Almaty, considered one of the most picturesque areas in Kazakhstan, the "Oikarakai Forest Fairy Tale Ski Resort" has implemented a large-scale facility upgrade to mark its 10th anniversary, incorporating various solutions from Axess AG, including an entry management system. The Oikarakai Forest Fairy Tale Ski Resort, with slopes of various levels (total length of 13 km), attracts enthusiastic winter sports fans and transports 9,000 guests per hour with its 11 lifts. Targeting families in particular, this resort offers a wide range of activities throughout the year, including skiing in winter and climbing in summer. The newly introduced systems include entry gates, ticketing systems at counters and online, rental systems, and a resort information app, enabling contactless and non-face-to-face operations that are especially sought after in the COVID era. Additionally, the simultaneously implemented customer management system allows for tailored services for each guest. The introduction of this comprehensive system not only reduces operational burdens but also significantly enhances convenience for guests.

Axess AG has supplied contactless entry gates and ticketing systems to the resort Mont Édouard, located in eastern Canada’s Quebec province. The automatic ticket gates AX500 Smart Gates NG installed at the lift boarding area feature a flap design, allowing for smooth passage without contact. There is no risk of bags or poles getting caught. For those purchasing lift tickets on-site, the Axess SMART PRINTER 600 ticket printer and the Axess SMART PAD 600 card reader/writer will support operations at the lift ticket counter. The speedy SMART PRINTER 600 enables printing, erasing, reading, and writing of IC cards (ISO15693/ISO14443) in a single operation. The SMART PAD 600 reads and writes information stored on IC cards and chips. Mont Édouard, wanting to provide customers with a wonderful outdoor experience amid the need for new health measures, conducted a six-month investigation into all ticketing systems used not only within Quebec but also domestically and internationally, ultimately choosing Axess.

The Swiss high-end ski manufacturer, Stöckli Swiss Sports AG, will implement the Axess rental system in its stores. Founded in 1935 by Joseph Stöckli, Stöckli Swiss Sports AG has been family-owned since its inception and has been selling products directly since 1967. The first store, which is still in operation today, was opened in Sörenberg in 1981. Stöckli, known for its commitment to quality, has chosen Axess as its partner for rental operations. The Axess rental system provides a smooth rental flow through online applications, self-registration terminals, or service desks. In particular, applications made online or at local self-service terminals are ideal for the COVID era, where minimizing contact with others is a priority. Additionally, a thorough inventory management system using QR codes reduces the effort involved in rental operations.
