Ungerboeck, the world’s leading provider of event and venue management software, announced the launch Ungerboeck Payments, a fully integrated, end-to-end payment solution built specifically for events businesses.
To thrive in a post-COVID world, venues and event organizers must take advantage of new opportunities to maximize revenue and streamline financial operations. Ungerboeck Payments makes it possible to accept electronic payments directly within the Ungerboeck platform, creating easier and safer payment experiences. The revolutionary payment system will help Ungerboeck customers improve cash flow, increase repeat business, and generate more revenue. For the first time, customers have a centralized view of all payment activity on a single platform that is fully supported by Ungerboeck.
“Good payment experience is critical to good event experience,” said Manish Chandak, President
and CEO of Ungerboeck. “With the launch of Ungerboeck payments, we now offer a truly integrated, best-in-class payment solution to our customers. Partnering with Stripe, our customers will have an end-to-end seamless payment and reconciliation experience while providing payment choices and ease of use to their planners, vendors, exhibitors, and visitors.”Ungerboeck chose Stripe, a financial infrastructure platform for businesses, to support Ungerboeck Payments.
