The inevitable
future

Markus is a consultancy and product suite. Over time, it will likely evolve into an AI that predicts and adapts to all eventualities in an entertainment operation. It may even plan and run a client's entire business. Intriguing.

Winning
the present

The future may dazzle, but business operates in the here and now. That's why we combine software with consulting. This lets us envision and shape how entertainment and its operations evolve, so customers achieve more with less.

Oskar Rossar
CEO of APL Digital Solutions

“Markus begins with an idea that business operations need to be simple and predictable. When operators grow, multiple supposedly compatible systems act like clusters of barnacles, creating frictional resistance and wasting fuel.

This means pain when an operator's businesses span multiple domains and locations. Previously adequate systems creak, employees hate their jobs, and customers hate their experience. Money is lost.

At the very least, innovative ideas will languish in implementation hell, because "it's just too complicated". Looks like a hostage situation and we trust us, we've lived it.

We run hundreds of cinema screens, multitude of restaurants, and many other entertainment facilities. Past software choices became a trap. Competing platforms felt unnatural like aliens trying to relate. And that's before migration migraine kicked in.”
