QubicaAMF Teams with Sacoa to Bring the Playcard® Debit Card System to Bowling Centers
Release date: 9/29/2009
September 29, 2009 (Mechanicsville, VA) – QubicaAMF Worldwide, a leader in the bowling products industry, announces that the Sacoa Playcard® debit card system now interfaces with its Bowling Center Management System, Conqueror Pro. Through a Conqueror Pro terminal, bowling centers are now able to activate Sacoa Playcards®, load money on the cards and check account balances in real time.
The Playcard® system can be used as a rechargeable method of payment throughout a center to pay for bowling, food and beverage, along with other purchases within the center. In addition, the Playcards® can be tied to a frequent bowler account allowing the center to use the card to recognize a customer, assign special pricing and offer specific promotions to targeted customer groups. All of these features are fully integrated and managed by the Conqueror Pro Management System.
“Centers can now load Playcards® with money making it easier for customers to spend more time and money in a center,” says Emanuele Govoni, SVP of Marketing for QubicaAMF Worldwide. “Customers don’t have to reach into their pockets and pull out cash every time they want to purchase something in a center. They can pay for their purchases using a single card. It’s a convenience customers have come to expect.”
“We are extremely happy with the integration between our Sacoa Playcard System and QubicaAMF's Conqueror Pro System, since it was something our customers had been requesting for some time. Having the ability to have two great tools such as these combined into one seamless operation is a true advantage. It provides ease-of-use for customers, creating a better playing experience for them,” states Pol Mochkovsky, Director of Sacoa Playcard.
According to the National Sporting Goods Association and the Bowling & Billiards Institute of America, bowling is the top participatory sport in the United States. There are more than 5,000 bowling centers in the United States, 12,000 bowling centers worldwide, and more than 70 million people bowl at least once per year in the United States alone.
