Embed, the ultimate cashless solutions provider for the amusement, entertainment, and leisure industries, is all set to showcase their latest groundbreaking tech innovation at the DEAL SHOW in Dubai from March 14 – 16.
The Tech of Transformation
Embed’s commitment to technology innovation makes history every year, launching industry-firsts and breakthrough innovations for 20+ years to enable, empower, and ease the business of fun. Since launching the Mobile Wallet virtual game card in 2019, the cashless solutions provider is still the only non-banking, non-finance, and non-loyalty brand to sit in customers’ Apple Wallet or Google Pay.
This year, Embed is adding to its tech innovation legacy in the industry with its Tech of Transformation, a roster of integrated hardware and software solutions developed with only the biggest names in the tech sector.
Renee Welsh CEO – Embed
“It’s our continuous pursuit to develop tech solutions that will propel businesses to become FECs of the Future. In line with this goal, we partnered with the largest and most respected tech brand in America, Amazon, to create a software solution that will transform FECs’ operations, revenue landscape, and consumer journey.”
To introduce this new line of solutions, Embed is kicking off with STATS, a brainchild development with none other than Amazon Web Services (AWS).
STATS is the game-changing business intelligence dashboard that will make business insights work hard for operators – so they won’t have to. This Software as a Service (SaaS) solution is a response to an ever-growing challenge that FEC operators face in the industry’s transition from coins to cashless; from traditional to digital:
“Even now, a lot of businesses find data analysis daunting. Operators need these collated and analyzed instantly to make informed business decisions immediately. STATS was designed specifically to produce customizable, tailor-fit, real-time reports in a snackable, easy-to-access format according to specific business needs – minus the tech intimidation and data overload,” Ms. Welsh added.
Meanwhile, Mr. Andy Welsh, the CTO of Embed shared that, “Given that FECs come in single or multiple locations, we worked closely with both small-medium and large FEC customers to understand their needs; the deep data insights they wanted from their Embed system. We combed through their data sets, and created ones that will suit the needs of any organization. Out of these efforts, demos, and trials came a dashboard so flexible and versatile that it won’t matter what size of FEC is using it – they can maximize it.”
Embed’s current data reports solution REPORTS, an analytics platform, allows operators to access 150 different reports.
“While REPORTS is already a smart data powerhouse in itself, STATS is a step towards more in-depth, dynamic data reporting. Our customers who use this are heavily reliant on REPORTS to address challenges with inventory management, loss prevention, and revenue management,” explains Renee Welsh. “Research shows that staff who are assigned data analytics work spend 90% of the work week on nitty-gritty data-related tasks – and this does not include the analysis required to gain actual insights that drive business decisions. The STATS dashboard is our commitment to being part of the solution; developing this automated dashboard with flexible widgets will help eliminate the counterproductive data work operators struggle doing,” the Embed CEO continued.
Embed worked with AWS, the world’s leading provider of cloud platforms, to develop STATS’ backend on QuickSight, enabling FECs to access these ready-made dashboards. This cloud-based solution does not need to run on any server that can cause downtimes and lags. Cloud connectivity also ensures accessible and secure data.
“We are excited about this partnership collaboration because it gives both AWS and Embed the opportunity to help an entire industry go digital. A non-technical person should not be weighed down with software data extraction to arrive at data-driven business decisions. STATS will handle the numbers; operators can focus on growing their business,” Mr. Conor McNamara, ASEAN Managing Director at Amazon Web Services, remarked.

As a response to an issue FECs are facing on missing staff passes and essentials, Embed is also introducing Staff Merchandise, a series of customizable wristbands, key fobs, and lanyards to match an FEC’s theme – giving the manpower a makeover with a consistent look that stands out.
