In 2018, a decision was made to diversify Connect&Go’s service offering and develop the permanent facilities segment such as amusement parks, ski resorts and hotel complexes. That same year, the company increased its presence abroad with the opening of sales offices in Paris and the United States and the addition of an Entertainment VP based in Orlando, flagship city for amusement parks.

In November 2018, the company acquired GOTIX, a ticketing system that has sold several millions of tickets to date which enables it to offer a fully integrated solution to its clients. The company also developed the first intelligent silicone bracelet dispenser machine.
