## Products

- [TKT](https://loft.ug/tkt): The ticket is just the beginning. Create your event, sell everywhere, get paid and run the gate, all without stitching six different systems together.
- [Access Control+](https://loft.ug/access-control): One door or fifty gates. Paper tickets or phones. Your scanners or ours. We’ll make entry work, even when the connection doesn’t.
- [Parking](https://loft.ug/parking): Nobody came to spend time at the barrier. Plates, passes, payments and parking zones work together so drivers can get where they’re going.
- [Loft Queue](https://loft.ug/loft-queue): When everyone turns up to buy at once, a fair queue beats a broken checkout. Keep buyers informed, give everyone their turn and keep the sale moving.
- [ITSM](https://loft.ug/itsm): The broken light, the faulty gate, the job nobody claimed. Bring incidents, assets and event readiness together so everyone knows what needs fixing next.
- [All products](https://loft.ug/products): every product side by side.

## Company

- [Home](https://loft.ug/): We make things we’d want to use. Websites, apps and software that make complicated things feel simple, and keep working when the real world gets involved.
- [About Loft](https://loft.ug/about): We didn’t all get here the same way. Meet the designers, developers and useful misfits behind Loft, what makes us different and what brings us together.
- [Research](https://loft.ug/research): A good question deserves more than a hunch. We explore ideas, challenge assumptions and test what we think we know. Here’s what we’ve found so far.
- [Downloads](https://loft.ug/downloads): Download Loft’s brand kit (the guidelines, logos and icons in one file) and our research papers as print-ready PDFs.
- [Developers](https://loft.ug/developers): How our products work, how to run them and how to connect to them. Access Control+ docs now, TKT next.
- [Status](https://loft.ug/status): We’d rather show you than tell you. See service availability, incidents and planned maintenance, with updates from the systems we monitor.
- [Legal](https://loft.ug/legal): What you agree to, what we collect and how we look after it. Loft’s website terms, privacy policy and data management policy, all in one searchable place.

## Research

- [Structure-aware adaptive sampling for venue seat inventory verification](https://loft.ug/research-savs) (White paper, 2026-10, by Rodgers Tenyigwa and Mugalula Nickson): How to show a digital seat inventory matches the venue without checking every seat: census the structure, sample the seats.
- [Forecasting sell-outs in advance ticket sales with a Bayesian mixture model](https://loft.ug/research-sellout-model) (Paper, 2026-09, by Tendo Michael and Rodgers Tenyigwa): When will a ticket type sell out? A model of how advance demand arrives, more accurate out of sample than the pickup method.
- [Modelling crowd arrival at stadium turnstiles](https://loft.ug/research-arrival-model) (Paper, 2026-09, by James Katende and Mugalula Nickson): When spectators arrive against kick-off, and the number of turnstiles at which no queue forms.
- [What we have learned about stadium access control](https://loft.ug/research-access-control) (White paper, 2026-06, by Mugalula Nickson, Tendo Michael and Samuel Mabonga): What running gates at high-pressure matches taught us, and why small losses in scan quality become large losses in capacity.
