The portal an organiser watches during an event: revenue and top-ups split by payment method, transactions over the duration, and every point of sale with its tills.

Prior to the global pandemic, smaller festivals struggled to establish cashless payment structures that didn't rely on plastic tokens. Piek emerged as a solution, tackling the challenge of creating a comprehensive digital system that catered to visitors, hosts, and all intermediaries.

Our target audience was well-defined – local or music festivals with up to 20,000 attendees. Larger events wouldn't benefit from Piek's plug-and-play nature. Instead of being a white-label app, Piek serves as an all-encompassing financial ecosystem for both hosts and partygoers.
