Before this initiative, Gadget relied on an outdated software system and legacy hardware that no longer met modern operational demands. The company faced challenges typical of large event operations: fragmented payment methods, slow settlement processes, limited visibility over vendor transactions, and inconsistent access control. Managing multiple festivals under a unified structure while maintaining flexibility for each edition proved increasingly complex. The system also needed to support offline reliability, precise reporting, and compliance with Swiss financial and data protection standards.
We developed a modular cashless and access management platform built to modern standards, ensuring compatibility with current and future technologies. It connects all key components – from ticketing and RFID wristband fulfillment to top-ups, refunds, vendor payments, and real-time access control. The system supports shared databases with event-specific overrides, unified user roles, and advanced audit tools.
For operators, intuitive Android-based apps simplify on-site workflows, while the back-office portal offers full visibility and control. The result is a future-proof, scalable ecosystem with virtually limitless potential for innovation – enhancing visitor satisfaction, speeding up financial settlements, and reducing operational overhead while setting a new benchmark for cashless experiences at Swiss festivals.

Digital transformation has brought significant progress in the operation, efficiency and competitiveness of companies. However, online presence and the use of cloud-based technologies increase cyber threats that affect all organizations, regardless of size or industry. In order for businesses to successfully navigate this rapidly changing digital world, it is essential to have the right cybersecurity measures in place.
1. Growing cyber attacks and threats
In recent years, cyber attacks have become increasingly sophisticated. Ransomware, phishing attacks, and Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have become more common, causing serious damage. Attacks of this nature not only mean financial loss, but can also seriously damage the reputation of companies.
Companies need to be aware that it is not just large companies that are being targeted. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are also increasingly becoming the target of attackers, as they often have less stringent cyber security measures. As a result, they can be an easier target for attackers.
2. Vulnerability management and prevention
Some of the most common vulnerabilities include outdated software, weak passwords, and inadequate privacy practices. These are areas where relatively simple, yet effective solutions can greatly reduce the risk of attacks.
- Software updates: Vulnerabilities in outdated systems can be easily exploited by cybercriminals, so it is vital to regularly update software and systems.
- Strong passwords and multi-factor authentication (MFA): The use of strong passwords and the use of multi-factor authentication significantly increase the level of data protection.
- Data backups: Regular data backups ensure that critical data can be restored in the event of a ransomware attack or other data breach.
3. Cyber security education and awareness
The successful implementation of cyber security is not only a technological issue, but also a human factor. Employee training and awareness is key, as many attacks stem from user error. Phishing emails, suspicious links and improper password management are all mistakes that a well-trained employee can avoid.
ASH helps companies develop educational programs that help employees recognize and respond to cyber threats.
4. Cybersecurity trends to watch out for
In the coming years, there are several new cyber security trends that all companies should keep an eye on:
- Application of artificial intelligence and machine learning: These technologies enable faster detection of attacks and immediate analysis of attack patterns.
- Zero Trust modell: This approach builds on continuous control of data and access, so that only truly authenticated and verified users can access resources.
- Cloud security: The wide spread of cloud-based services makes it necessary to increase cloud security so that the protection of companies' data is maintained even with new working methods.
