Ticketing & Access Control

The developed ticketing solutions are very innovative, especially due to betting in the multi-modal use, many times combined with "park & ride", providing the users with a comfortable an integrated solution, while giving the transporting companies a fine control of their business and the possibility to create new ways of combing products.

A ticketing system can represent a chain starting at the tickets sale, validation and access control, whether it takes place in a sports stadium, in public transportation, at the cinema or in any other place.

With the acquisition of Octal, Novabase integrated the Ticketing & Access Control systems in the offer. These solutions are essentially focused in two markets: large enclosures - fairs and stadiums - and transports - by road, rail and fluvial. Football, with the realization of Euro 2004, is an increasingly active business.

Ticketing Systems

A ticketing system can represent a chain starting at the tickets sale, its validation and access control, whether it takes place in a sports stadium, in public transportation, at the cinema or in any other place.

For the final Customer, namely in the Transports sector, a Ticketing solution allows, through the obtainment of data generated, to understand how the demand is characterized and the users' profile: who travels, in which line, if the lines are profitable or not, if they have a lot or just a few people. Another point to highlight is the control of fraud that is even more important in large events, as for example football. In this, it is fundamental to control fraud and to obtain, afterwards, data for management.

The system should be integrated with all the existing back-office system. Ticketing should not stop within itself, as data has to be integrated, for example, with accounting and business management. Ticketing has also the characteristic of being a system that is exposed to the public and therefore, everything that can be done to facilitate its utilization on the part of the public is very important. This is one of those systems that is not integrated in a machine in back-office. It is front door, a system in which the public buys, handles and validates the tickets and enters access control barriers, where the ergonomic factor becomes important.

Technology

It is fundamental to dominate the transportation voucher technology. On the other hand, it is essential to dominate the components association that allows constructing an automatic machine. After that, come the information technologies, in general: databases, communications with and without wires. Finally, in the back-office, the usual subjects of the information technologies, such as databases, where the information is kept.

The means of payment

The means of payment, basically the electronic ones, either the assisted sales points or the automatic ones, are very important. And in the automatic machines, the control of all means of payment, including the coins and note bills, that impose the use of complex devices, requiring specific know-how that is a principle put into practice by Novabase.
