JP Showsystems

What JP Showsystems does

JP Showsystems Limited is a UK-based private engineering firm founded in 2021 and registered in England & Wales (Company Registration Number 13591518), operating from Oundle with a headcount of 1–10 employees. The company designs, programmes, and integrates show control and AV systems for theme parks, touring exhibitions, immersive art venues, and live entertainment projects. Its work spans clients including Merlin Entertainments, F1, MGM Resorts, teamLab, Frameless, Bentley, Lotus, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, House of Hype, the UK Pavilion at Osaka Expo 2025, and the Broad Institute at MIT, with active delivery across the UK, Continental Europe, the Middle East, Greater China, Japan, and the United States.

The firm's technology stack is anchored on three industry-standard show control and AV platforms — Medialon for venue-wide control coordination, Alcorn McBride for show control and playback hardware, and Q-SYS for audio distribution, zoning, and network-based system control. JPSS layers proprietary engineering on top of these platforms, including custom Q-SYS language-tracking models for multilingual venue spaces and touring-ready show control architectures designed for consistent multi-venue deployment. Core capabilities are organised into three service lines — Show Control Services, AV System Design (AVCL, network architecture, 3D modelling), and System Integration — supported by specialised sub-services in projection system commissioning, multi-zone audio design, and remote show control delivery.

JP Showsystems operates as a project-based professional services firm with bespoke, quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rate cards. Revenue derives from fixed-contract engineering engagements scoped jointly with enterprise clients and frequently delivered in collaboration with system integrators such as Creative Technology, Sysco Productions, Electrosonic, SHIKI, and ProIO. Distribution is direct enterprise engagement — there are no reseller channels — driven by founder-led outreach, industry reputation, and referrals within the themed entertainment and live events sector. The company is founder-led (Zach Phillips), privately held with no institutional investors or funding rounds disclosed, and relies on organic social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram) and a project portfolio website for top- and mid-funnel visibility.

Core offering

JP Showsystems designs, programmes, and integrates show control and AV systems for theme parks, exhibitions, immersive venues, and live entertainment.

Product overview

JP Showsystems is a specialist AV design and show control engineering firm operating at the intersection of themed entertainment and live events. Rather than a single software product, the company delivers a services-based portfolio organised around three core capability areas — Show Control Services (built on Medialon and Q-SYS platforms), AV System Design (covering AVCL, network architecture, and 3D modelling), and System Integration — supported by specialised sub-service offerings including projection commissioning, audio design, and multi-zone audio management. Projects span theme parks, immersive art installations, world expo pavilions, scientific discovery centres, and touring exhibitions across global venues including teamLab Abu Dhabi, MGM Macau, Frameless London, and Osaka Expo 2025.

Direct peers

• Kraftwerk Living Technologies: Austria-based specialist in AV and show control for theme parks, museums, and immersive venues, competing for the same European and MENA projects JPSS targets (including Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi–class work).
• Smart Monkeys: Boutique show control systems integrator focused on themed entertainment and live shows using Medialon and Q-SYS — a near-pure peer in the niche JPSS competes in, with deeper tenure on landmark theme-park attractions.
• Sysco Productions: Touring production services company that partnered with JPSS on the F1 Exhibition; operates in the same touring-exhibition AV delivery space and is both collaborator and competitor for global touring mandates.
• Holovis: UK-headquartered immersive experience integrator delivering AV and media-based ride systems for theme parks and visitor attractions — overlapping client base and similar technology stack as JPSS.
• Creative Technology: Global AV systems integrator with deep live-events and broadcast heritage. JPSS partners with Creative Technology on Frameless London and the UK Pavilion at Osaka Expo 2025, directly competing for the same themed-entertainment AV mandates.
• Alterface: Interactive attractions integrator providing show control and AV for theme parks and immersive experiences. A named customer and testimonial-giver for JPSS but also a viable competitor in interactive-ride show control.
• NEON Global: Production and technical services firm serving large-scale live and experiential projects. Endorsed JPSS publicly and operates in the same themed-entertainment delivery ecosystem.
• Technifex: US themed entertainment engineering firm delivering AV, show control, and special effects for theme parks and immersive venues — directly comparable scope and customer set to JPSS in North America.

Emerging players

• Showmatic: UK-based show control and AV systems integrator serving themed entertainment and immersive venues — geographic and capability peer, smaller in scale and a plausible emerging competitor for UK and European projects.

Broad incumbents

• Electrosonic: Long-established AV integration firm with extensive themed entertainment and immersive experience work. Is both a JPSS on-site SI partner (Broad Institute) and an obvious competitor for show-control-led mandates at scale.
