Singapore Sports Hub is one of the few venues in the world that can host concurrent events, accommodating over 70,000 spectators at one time.
In a move to better engage fans at the stadium, the Singapore Sports Hub partnered with NCR to provide a host of innovative venue management solutions including 317 touch screen POS systems to reduce queues and serve fans at the extensive food and beverage restaurants, corporate boxes and concession stands at the stadium.
Additionally, NCR has deployed its NCR Vitalcast digital signage solution throughout the complex across 390 displays to create and share promotions, advertisements and event information to the fans.
