Uncle Ringo, one of the largest carnival equipment rental and events planning companies in Singapore, has chosen to implement Semnox’s debit card system for its annual carnival that is held every year as part of the Chinese New Year.
Uncle Ringo has been a household name since the 1980s and has organised numerous carnivals, fun fairs, themed parties, product launches, fundraising events for charities and school events in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and China. It is now implementing Semnox’s Parafait auite of applications to manage its yearly carnival in Singapore, which has several rides and attractions.
“Our experience with Semnox has been nothing but awesome,” said Uncle Ringo’s sales director, Joyce Lee. “The Parafait system has assisted to do real-time monitoring of the stations at our carnival. The card system has made monitoring our POS much easier and at the same time reduced pilferages. Reports from the system assisted with post-event evaluation greatly, thus allowing us to improve our operations constantly. As my operations grow, I see how stable the system is. Even with additional readers and a bigger event space, I faced no hiccups.
"One of the most significant benefits of the system is the reports generated at the end of the day/event," Lee continued. “This is one area that was difficult for us to do when we were using traditional paper tokens. We could not track the collection from each stall as counting the tickets at the end of the day was very laborious and wasted a lot of time. With Semnox’s system, we can now easily analyse the reports and the collection from each station.”
Kiran Karanki, director of Semnox Solutions, said: “Our entire business is focused on building innovative software and supporting it with progressive services for our customers around the world. Our priority when building the system was to make sure it is scalable, versatile and at the same time portable so that companies such as Uncle Ringo, which operate yearly carnivals, can use a stable system.
“We are pleased that a renowned carnival such as Uncle Ringo has chosen Semnox for implementing a complete cashless solution to operate and manage its carnival. This engagement with Uncle Ringo now positions Semnox as a leading provider of cashless debit card systems in the world.”
