Mobile ticketing – a seamless, personalized, and secure travel experience for your customers

Seamless and secure mobility is a key factor in the quality of modern life. Research clearly shows that the world's growing population gravitates to urbanized environments. Public transport systems are under enormous pressure to ensure cost-efficient mobility with high availability and throughput.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in contactless solutions. This is true not only for payment in general, but especially for public transport.

Understanding related requirements, opportunities and customer needs is essential for transit authorities. We enable transit operators and authorities to put customer experience first. With our solutions you can provide secure, flexible, and mobile solutions to simplify passengers' lives while adapting to the changing customer lifestyles.

Security is a must. Our secure end-to-end ticketing process is the key

Today mobile app security is of overriding importance. A continuously growing number of transit, ticketing and payment apps store valuable data. And we all know that hackers have begun to aggressively attack mobile devices and the apps on those devices.
