Queues that stretch at opening time
Manual checks cannot keep up with arrival peaks. Fast scanning and clear lane rules keep people moving.
Crowd management & access control · Jeddah & across KSA
Entry control for venues where queues build fast.
Configurable access rules, QR and RFID credential checks and a live view of every entry point, deployed and supported on site by a local ArrowTech team.
Overview
Clear rules at every checkpoint.
When thousands of people arrive in a short window, entry has to be fast, fair and predictable. The system checks each credential against the rules you set for zones, times and ticket types, and tells staff instantly what to do.
We configure it around your site, your credentials and the people running the gates, then stay close through rehearsals, opening day and the events that follow.
Built for
- Events and exhibitions
- Entertainment and family venues
- Facilities with controlled zones
- Seasonal, high-volume visitor operations
The business case
Entry problems the system is designed to remove
Credentials shared or reused
Without validation, one ticket can let several people in. Each scan is checked against its status and history.
Supervisors working blind
Nobody knows which gate is overloaded until a radio call. A live view shows flow and exceptions as they happen.
Different rules for different zones
VIP areas, staff zones and timed sessions are hard to enforce by hand. Rules are set once and applied at every checkpoint.
Who it’s for

In practice · Wristband Design Studio
High-volume wristbands, prepared by hand.
Teams needed a faster, more consistent way to prepare barcode and RFID wristbands for high-volume operations. Rebuilding layouts for every batch was slow and easy to get wrong.
A desktop design and batch-printing workspace gives operators reusable layouts, data-ready production and controls built around the printing devices they use every day.

How deployment works
How a deployment comes together
Understand the site
Entry points, zones, credential types and expected arrival patterns, ideally walked in person.
Configure the rules
Access rules, devices and dashboards set up to match the way your operation runs.
Rehearse with staff
A test run with real devices and staff, so the first live scan is not the first scan.
Go live and support
Our team on hand for opening, then ongoing support and adjustments between events.
Components and platform
- Access rules engine
- QR & RFID
- Handheld and fixed scanners
- Operational dashboards
- Reporting
- On-site deployment

FAQ
Access control questions from venue teams.
Ask about hardware, ticketing integration or support on event days.
Ask about Crowd management & access controlDo you supply the scanners and wristbands?
We can supply and configure the hardware, or work with devices you already own if they are compatible. We confirm this during the site survey.
Can it work with our existing ticketing?
Often, yes. If your ticketing system can share credential data, we can validate those credentials at the gate. We review the integration options early.
What happens if the connection drops?
We plan for connectivity during design and agree how scanning should behave at each gate if the network is interrupted.
Can we use it for a single event?
Yes. The system suits one-off events as well as permanent venues; the set-up and support plan differ.
Who supports us on the day?
Our local team supports go-live and peak periods, with an agreed escalation route for any issue.
