Rapiergroup Shortlisted for ABPCO Excellence Awards 2026
We’re proud to announce that Rapiergroup has been shortlisted in the Best Digital & Technology Provider category at the ABPCO Excellence Awards 2026.
The recognition is for our work on Motability Scheme Live, where we delivered an integrated digital ecosystem for Motability Operations that connects registration, ticketing, test drive booking, mobile app functionality and real-time reporting.
Creating a Connected Event Experience
Today’s event technology landscape is filled with platforms, tools and data sources. The challenge isn’t simply selecting the right technology, it’s ensuring those technologies work together to create a seamless experience for attendees while providing meaningful operational insight for event organisers.
For Motability Scheme Live, our focus was on delivering a connected ecosystem that brought together every stage of the attendee journey. Registration, ticketing, test drive booking, mobile app functionality and reporting were integrated into a single event framework designed to improve both the visitor experience and event management processes.
Rather than implementing standalone technology solutions, the project focused on creating a joined-up experience that supports attendees from planning and booking through to arrival and participation at the event.
Accessibility by Design
Motability Scheme Live exists to help customers explore mobility solutions in an accessible, welcoming and pressure-free environment, making accessibility a key consideration throughout the digital journey.
By connecting key visitor touchpoints and simplifying event interactions, the digital ecosystem helped create a more intuitive experience for attendees while reducing barriers to participation.
The approach demonstrates how technology can enhance accessibility when it is designed around the needs of users from the outset.
Turning Data into Insight
One of the most significant benefits of a connected event ecosystem is the operational visibility it provides.
The platform delivers real-time attendance data, enabling event teams to better understand visitor numbers, monitor check-in activity, identify arrival patterns and make informed decisions throughout the event lifecycle.
This visibility helps event organisers move from estimated data to real-time insight, supporting more effective planning and continual improvement across the wider event programme.
The Power of Collaboration
This finalist nomination reflects the strong collaboration that has shaped the project from the beginning.
The success of Motability Scheme Live has been driven by the close working relationship between Motability Operations, Rapiergroup and our wider technology partners, all focused on delivering long-term value and continually improving the visitor experience.
By combining event expertise, technology and a shared commitment to innovation, the project has continued to evolve and deliver meaningful benefits for attendees and organisers alike.
Looking Ahead
As attendee expectations continue to evolve, connected digital ecosystems will play an increasingly important role in creating more personalised, accessible and data-driven event experiences.
We’re delighted that our work on Motability Scheme Live has been recognised by the ABPCO judges and would like to thank everyone involved in making the project a success.
Congratulations to all the finalists. We look forward to celebrating at the ABPCO Excellence Awards later this year.
