Australian Export Awards opens numerous new doors
It’s an incredible award that opens numerous new doors and opportunities for winners and finalists, while providing national and international recognition and validation that our business is thriving. Winning the 2025 Technologies award also provides us with an important touchpoint with vital support organisations, such as Austrade, who have been a wonderful resource for MyVenue to grow in export markets.
Tim Stollznow, Chief Executive Officer.
MyVenue is the place to be in Australian exports
MyVenue’s home-grown tech has revolutionised point-of-sale (POS) solutions for stadiums, arenas, hospitality, and large event-driven venues across the world.
Most POS systems are poorly suited to the complexity and size of event venues, or platforms that lean heavily on third-party integrations. These fragmented, not-fit-for-purpose solutions are less reliable, create data blind spots, and cost the industry millions in missed sales revenue.
‘We created something purpose-built, scalable and uncompromising,’ says Tim Stollznow, MyVenue Chief Executive Officer. ‘An end-to-end, cloud-based POS software platform specifically designed for the high-volume demands of sports, entertainment and cultural venues.’
Since launching in 2020, the winner of the 2025 Technologies award, MyVenue, has deployed more than 20,000 POS terminals across 250 venues in Australia, the US, Canada, the UK and New Zealand.
Successful stadium rollout in the US
In the past year, MyVenue completed a full installation of its POS solution at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. The rollout marked the stadium’s first POS change in over a decade.
The project involved deploying MyVenue’s technology across 1,245 terminals, 366 premium suites, mobile ordering, kitchen display systems, and a real-time back-office across one of the world’s largest stadiums.
The successful deployment unlocked new venue wins and drove a substantial uplift in brand visibility for MyVenue across the US.
Unique tech for tough situations
MyVenue’s POS solution seamlessly manages 200,000+ transactions at the Miami F1 Grand Prix each year, amid stifling heat, sapping humidity, and a digital-first crowd competing for cellular bandwidth. Its secret sauce, though, is its best-in-class offline mode.
‘MyVenue’s offline POS technology is very powerful,’ says Stollznow. ‘It automatically activates when the venue’s internet and power connection wavers. Without it, the Grand Prix would have missed half a million dollars of sales revenue at its inaugural outing.’
The success of MyVenue’s technology at that internationally renowned event reverberated throughout the market, helping catapult MyVenue’s growth throughout North America.
Supporting sustainable growth
MyVenue’s sustainability initiatives are embedded into its product strategy.
Its platform is hardware-agnostic, allowing venues to reuse existing equipment or choose their preferred devices. This eliminates the need for proprietary hardware, which is a vastly more cost-effective outcome for venues. It also reduces e-waste created by forced hardware replacements.
‘This unique deployment option has allowed MyVenue’s customers to reuse over 7,000 existing POS terminals, scanners and printers,’ says Stollznow. ‘This has prevented tonnes of electronic hardware from being sent to landfill.’
Austrade has been a wonderful resource for MyVenue to grow in export markets. Its global trade offices have facilitated direct introductions to key industry stakeholders and customers we had previously struggled to connect with.
Australian Export Awards opens numerous new doors
This is MyVenue’s third recognition at the Australian Export Awards. It won the Small Business award category in 2023 and the Emerging Exporter award category in 2022. This year, MyVenue is the winner of the 2025 Technologies award category.
‘It’s an incredible award that opens numerous new doors and opportunities for winners and finalists,’ says Stollznow.
‘If you’re entering new markets, having the credentials of an award-winning export company goes a long way to building confidence with prospective customers.’
A touchpoint to vital support
The Australian Export Awards also provides MyVenue with another important touchpoint with vital support organisations like Austrade.
‘Austrade has been a wonderful resource for MyVenue to grow in export markets,’ says Stollznow.
‘Its global trade offices have facilitated direct introductions to key industry stakeholders and customers we had previously struggled to connect with.’
Boots on the ground
The most important thing to consider when entering a new export market is pretty simple, says Stollznow: ‘Get boots on the ground.’
‘By residing in (or at the minimum, visiting) the country that you want to grow your business in, you gain incredible contextual information that is difficult to learn from Australia.’
Having an industry partner or impartial advocate who speaks the local dialect or lingo is also vital. ‘It helps build rapport, comfort and familiarity with prospective customers,’ says Stollznow.
No signs of slowing
MyVenue’s growth strategy is built around its 100% year-on-year expansion.
‘We’ll accelerate growth in North America, the UK and Asia-Pacific, while selectively expanding into high-potential regions like Mexico and Western Europe,’ says Stollznow.
It also plans to unlock new growth across mid-market venues, convention centres, and the higher education sector.
Changing the game
From the outset, MyVenue’s slogan has been “Changing The Game”.
‘The company was founded to capitalise on a market opportunity in an industry that hadn’t evolved in quite some time,’ says Stollznow.
‘Now, MyVenue is delivering new and improved technology that is helping the whole market accelerate. This is creating a faster and easier-to-use product for both venues and fans.’
