About GANTNER

CONTACTLESS TECHNOLOGY

Our contactless NFC systems can be found worldwide, delivering market-leading access control, electronic locker solutions, and cashless payment systems for the global attraction and commercial industries.

Our commitment to growth, excellence, and performance has made us the partner of choice for many leading companies and institutions in fields as diverse as attraction and retail, commerce, finance, healthcare, education, and local government. Whether you run a fitness club, waterpark, spa or ski resort, private hospital, library, office block, or educational establishment, GANTNER has access and payment technology solutions that can be entirely tailored to your business needs. GANTNER systems create a contactless environment where admissions, lockers, and point-of-sale offers can all be operated with a single NFC credential: in the form of a contactless card, wristband, or key tag.

This simplified all-in-one solution has revolutionized both the customer and employee journey, streamlined our clients’ entire business operations, brought multiple benefits in the form of reduced administration and running costs, and given both large and small companies a highly competitive edge in their respective markets.

Because our open-source systems can link with many third-party software, and our hardware is easy to retrofit into many existing set-ups – our flexible solutions can save you even more time and money. Leisure and commercial technologies continue to advance at an increasingly fast pace. With its strong history and vanguard culture, GANTNER is committed to leading from the front, bringing improvements and innovations to market, and creating tomorrow’s future-proof technologies, today.
