ScotlandAxess goes UK: With the Glencoe Mountain Resort, Axess is travelling to the island
for the first time. The premiere project is one with a lot of prestige: Scotland's oldest
ski resort, which has now matured into a year-round destination. Axess provided
both the hardware at the resort and an online shop solution.
Operation in summer & winterGlencoe Mountain Resort is located in
an area of outstanding natural beautyon Rannoch Moor, some 74 miles northof Glasgow on the West Highland Way,and covers 200 hectares. It is recognised as the oldest alpine ski resort in
Scotland and currently operates eightlifts and 20 ski runs - including thelongest and steepest descent in thecountry.

Since the first ski lift was installed in
1955, the resort has developed into amodern year-round destination. Whileskiing and sledging are the order ofthe day in winter, summer visitors enjoy
hiking, biking, disc golf and tubing always surrounded by the spectacularnatural scenery of the Highlands andthe legendary Meall a' Bhùiridh mountain.
Upgrade for 365 days a year
The operators of Glencoe Mountain
Resort were looking for a holistic accessmanagement concept for the 2023/24
winter season. Thanks to the many international references, the high standardsof hardware and software and the directcontact, Axess was chosen.
"The installation of the new Axessticketing system at Glencoe Mountain
Resort has eliminated the early morning

to greater customer and staff satisfaction. Although it has been a real learning
process this winter, we look forward tofully utilising the benefits of the system
next winter.
Martin and Bernhard, who carried out
the installation, were absolutely great
and were always available at short
notice when we needed additional support," says Andy Meldrum, Managing
Director of Glencoe Mountain Resort.
High-tech for the Highlands
The processes in Glencoe had to beconsidered symbiotically in order torealise the project. A holistic solution
was needed that could cover everythingfrom online ticket sales to on-site admission. And all this in a tight timeframe ofjust six weeks. Thanks to the integratedAxess solutions, Bernhard Stöllinger
and his team were able to realise
everything as desired:"The geographical location poses
numerous problems for reliable communication, as the connection has to beestablished via a satellite broadband

the top of the list of requirements. The
innovative Axess solution for ticketing
and access management, which wasdeveloped specifically for such challenges, offers hybrid cloud and on-premisetechnology.

website and local automated facilities.
These include the self-collection ofpurchased RFID tickets at the Axess
