The company’s new conversational ordering and shopping capabilities join updates to Freedom, Passport, Horizon and LoQueue, highlighting the evolving connected accesso experience.

ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — accesso Technology Group (AIM: ACSO), the leading technology partner to the leisure and entertainment industry, will spotlight the most recent advancements across its revenue-driving product portfolio at IAAPA Expo Orlando 2025. Attendees can visit Booth #5131 to experience live demonstrations across ticketing, point of sale, virtual queuing, mobile, payments and AI powered commerce.

What’s New from accesso in 2025:

accesso Freedom℠

Having debuted in 2024 and already adopted at more than 50 venues, Freedom unifies restaurant and retail operations into a single, modern SaaS platform. Designed for fast-paced, high-traffic environments, accesso Freedom supports point-of-sale terminals, mobile food ordering, self-service kiosks and mobile point-of-sale. The connection between accesso Freedom and accesso Passport® provides consistent benefit and entitlement redemption across all guest touchpoints. IAAPA attendees can test-drive the ease of mobile and self-service ordering workflows in action during the show.

Conversational AI Ordering
Freedom now supports conversational AI chat-driven food and retail ordering experiences using accesso‘s own intelligent framework which enables AI to understand complex product rules, pricing and bundles. This gives guests a smart and personalized ordering experience using natural chat interactions.

Scan & Go 
With Scan & Go, guests scan retail and other packaged items on their mobile devices, pay securely, and skip the line. The result is faster service and reduced pressure on staff during peak times.

Flexible Payment and Loyalty Features
New capabilities give guests more ways to pay and personalize their visit. Guests can now charge purchases directly to their room accounts through real-time integration with Property Management Systems (PMS), eliminating paper receipts and manual entry at checkout. Freedom also now supports digital and physical gift cards that can be linked to wristbands, access cards, or printed vouchers, helping operators drive loyalty and revenue.

accesso Passport®

Built for mobile, built for speed, accesso Passport continues to drive ticketing and eCommerce performance at high-volume venues across the globe. With over 800 updates delivered across the platform annually, Passport is the industry’s unparalleled end-to-end SaaS ticketing platform for the attraction industry and powers leading venues in more than 20 countries around the world.

Conversational AI Shopping
accesso will unveil a preview of its forthcoming conversational AI chat-based shopping experience, integrated directly into the accesso Passport ticketing platform. This future-forward approach to shopping offers a glimpse of what’s possible when operators integrate shopping capabilities into their own AI-powered chatbot. Backed by the same intelligent framework used in Freedom, the system ensures AI understands ticket availability, pricing rules, and bundling to make the guest journey faster, smarter and more personalized.

Headless API for Branded Commerce
The latest release further offers a headless API allowing venues the flexibility to create fully custom branded digital experiences across web, mobile and kiosk.

Commerce & Checkout Enhancements
The new Combo Creator streamlines bundling across tickets, food, and merchandise. Expanded brand customization features enhance the integration of content and commerce while advancements to further optimize the eCommerce checkout flow supports increased sales conversion helping venues maximize sales. 

accesso Horizon℠

Horizon is purpose-built for destinations requiring flexible, enterprise-grade ticketing and guest management. Its cloud-native architecture supports sophisticated entitlements for bundled and multi-experience access, robust CRM integration and access control and scalable infrastructure designed for high-volume, high-profile environments.

Live at a Global Icon
The Grand Egyptian Museum, the massive new state-of-the-art museum near the Pyramids of Giza, is now live with the Horizon platform. Powering high profile attractions around the world, including the world’s most visited theme park in Orlando, accesso Horizon supports venues around the globe with next-level flexibility and functionality.

accesso LoQueue^®

The power of virtual queuing with LoQueue takes guests out of physical lines and drives incremental revenue while enhancing the overall visitor experience so guests ride more, wait less. Since 2021, our integrated queuing solutions have saved 19+ million guests over 1.7 billion minutes on more than 60 million rides while driving more than $2 billion of incremental revenue for venue operators.  

New Queuing API
Operators can embed virtual queuing natively into their own mobile apps with the LoQueue API. Guests stay within the branded experience as they join queues, receive updates and explore attractions. The API supports enterprise scalability, security and customization for complex operations.

CEO commentary
“Accesso serves a wide range of venues and markets, and our technology connects the moments that matter for guests and operators. As our ecosystem continues to expand, we’re seeing clients redefine what’s possible, delivering seamless, elevated guest experiences while driving stronger revenue through the connected Accesso experience,” said Steve Brown, CEO, accesso.

HONG KONG, Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On November 16, AION’s first dual-power model—the AION i60, featuring both extended-range and pure electric options—officially launched, entering the 100,000-yuan SUV market with a limited-time starting price of 104,800 yuan. Packed with over 100 standard features, the AION i60 aims to become a popularizer of Chinese extended-range SUV.

As the core technological highlight, the AION i60 range-extended version is equipped with GAC ADiMOTION extended range technology, which is used in premium 200,000-yuan-class extended-range SUVs. It represents a breakthrough in energy efficiency, achieving an industry-leading fuel-to-electricity conversion rate of 3.73 kWh/L, which has received the “Range Extender Efficiency Star” certification from the CAERI. The vehicle delivers 7.2 km of range per kWh of electricity and records a fuel consumption as low as 5.5 L/100 km when the voltage is low, even achieving more impressive result of 4.9 L/100 km in media tests.

The powertrain delivers equally impressive performance. The range extender provides a continuous output of up to 85 kW — the highest in its class, and is paired with a high-power 180 kW electric motor, enabling the vehicle to sustain a speed of 150 km/h even under low voltage conditions.

The AION i60 is also available in pure electric version, equipped with a larger 75 kWh battery for its class, delivering an extended and reliable range of 650 km on a full charge. With 3C fast-charging technology, it can regain 200 km of range in just five minutes. The AION i60 supports over 99% of public charging stations and has received the CCTA Charging Compatibility Certification from the CAERI. Backed by AION’s leading energy replenishment ecosystem, the brand has deployed more than 20,000 proprietary charging stations and offers access to over 1.37 million interconnected chargers, forming a charging network of “fast, widespread, and nearby”.

The successful launch of the AION i60 epitomized AION’s focused execution under the “Panyu Action” strategy, demonstrating its precision in understanding user needs and rapid advancement in technological innovation. By establishing a professional user insight team and implementing the IPD and IPMS systems, AION has truly achieved the goal of “understanding what users want and delivering what users need”. From brand philosophy to channel development, from R&D to service upgrades, AION is now fully transitioning toward “creating sustainable value for users”.

From skills-based job design to agentic AI, ADP experts provide insights on the trends and developments that will define work in 2026

• People Trends: How organizations are aligning people, skills and strategy in an AI-driven workplace
• AI in HR: How the responsible adoption of generative and agentic AI will enhance productivity and human connection
• Changing Regulations: How organizations are navigating pay transparency, multijurisdictional compliance and AI regulations
• ADP Expert Insights: Global perspectives on the future of work and the evolving HR-IT collaboration

ROSELAND, N.J., Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ADP’s 2026 HR Trends Guide reveals how organizations around the world are preparing for an AI-driven workplace. To better align people and strategic objectives, businesses are adopting a more skills-based approach and using data and technology to optimize talent, navigate compliance and enhance employee experience. The report also underscores the growing importance of HR-IT collaboration, responsible AI governance and transparency in shaping the future of work.

See all the 2026 HR trends and gain practitioner insights

Organizations are assessing their skills inventory and aligning people with organizational goals. As AI transforms the workplace, leaders are taking a more skills-focused approach, using data and technology to identify key competencies and strategically redesign roles to align talent with business needs.

• As the skills landscape changes, companies have high expectations for the benefits that AI will offer, with 84% of large organizations agreeing that using AI can help streamline processes but will not replace employees, 76% of midsized organizations, and 73% of small organizations (ADP Market Pulse Study, April 2025).

Reframing AI as a collaborative partner empowers employees to innovate, stay engaged and grow alongside evolving roles. Building this mindset requires intentional training, hands-on experimentation and leadership that models continual learning.

• “Helping people adopt a mindset of technology collaboration is important to successful AI adoption. Integrating AI technology into daily workflows helps employees use it effectively and engage more fully with their work. They can focus less on individual tasks and more on solving for people’s needs. In this way, AI becomes a facilitator of human connection and engagement, highlighting the true benefit of this technology and helping people feel valued and integral at work.” – Tiffany Davis, chief talent acquisition, inclusion and diversity officer, ADP

As countries and U.S. states consider whether and how to regulate AI in employment decisions, differing approaches are emerging. Legislation in the EU, Colorado, and other jurisdictions emphasize the importance of guardrails when AI is used in the employment context and require stricter limits, transparency and audits.

• “When evaluating any AI tool, consider whether it was developed using secure, high-quality data, whether it produces reliable and meaningful results and whether it helps streamline, rather than complicate, work processes. Maintaining human oversight, providing transparency to employees, regularly monitoring output and addressing potential issues early are key aspects of a responsible AI program.” – Helena Almeida, vice president, managing counsel, AI legal officer, ADP

Pay transparency requirements are expanding, especially in the EU. By 2026, both the EU and many U.S. states are increasing pay transparency and equity requirements, prompting employers to provide clearer information on pay, advancement, and gender gaps.

• “With pay transparency laws growing worldwide, employers must evaluate their compensation levels now, both internally and externally, and ensure current pay ranges are fair, competitive and based on objective work-related criteria.” – Helena Almeida, vice president, managing counsel, AI legal officer, ADP

Employers continue to face multijurisdictional compliance challenges. Employers must navigate a patchwork of local, state and federal rules, which can vary widely and change frequently. The complexity increases for employers who might be operating across different countries. Balancing compliance with multiple, sometimes conflicting laws makes creating consistent policies challenging.

• “Compliance and managing risk are always bigger considerations than simply what the law requires. Having multiple laws with different requirements that apply doesn’t always mean creating a separate practice for each law. It’s often possible to develop a standard, focused on the employees’ rights and best practices, that can work in most circumstances and allow you to have a consistent approach.” – Meg Ferrero, vice president and assistant general counsel, ADP

Agentic AI is emerging as a core HCM capability. Organizations are leveraging agentic AI to streamline HR operations in several ways, like automating onboarding processes, simplifying validations and error detection in data-heavy workflows like payroll, and proactively generating insights from HR data with clear recommendations on actions and next steps to drive outcomes. By combining the strengths of human intuition and the power of agentic AI, organizations can foster a collaborative environment that enhances overall efficiency.

• “Agentic AI unlocks new frontiers of automation, coordinating multistep work and adapting to real-world variability. Human oversight provides purpose and guardrails, clarifying objectives, approving critical actions and reviewing impacts. Together, they deliver scalable automation that’s trustworthy, compliant and resilient when conditions change.” – Amin Venjara, chief data officer, ADP

Data management is evolving as companies deploy agentic AI. Agentic AI is reshaping data management, requiring leaders to prioritize seamless data flow while addressing quality, privacy and security. Robust governance and protections are nonnegotiable as AI interacts with company data.

• While an understanding of the governance landscape for agentic AI is still emerging, leaders report that governance for generative AI exists today with 20% of small businesses, half of midsized, and two-thirds of large companies saying they have a process in place (“How companies do HR,” ADP internal analysis, 2025).

HR and IT are becoming more reliant upon each other as AI reshapes the workplace. As agentic AI is increasingly adopted across the workforce, human and agent interactions will be critical for the delivery of work, requiring HR and IT to work closely together to ensure work gets done effectively and responsibly so that business moves forward. For HR leaders, success will increasingly hinge on IT’s expertise in selecting, implementing and managing complex technologies. At the same time, IT will rely on HR to provide insight into how these tools affect people in terms of adoption and human impact.

• “IT is definitely a bigger part of the decision-making than it has been in the past. What they care about are things like user management, data security, integrations and how the integrations work. Are they modern? Are they scalable? Can they connect with each other, and how will maintenance be performed on these connections?” – Tonya James, vice president of product management, global payroll, ADP
