How our account based ticketing solution works
Best Value Journey Engine
Building customer trust is an essential part of a PAYG solution. Our best value journey engine ensures that we offer the best available fare for journeys made. The engine considers thousands of fare combinations to determine the best value fare for the day or weeks travel.
Payment services
Payment collection and revenue management are facilitated through connections to PCI-DSS compliant payment service providers. We can work with your existing payment services supplier or offer alternative options.
Customer Portal / App
Customers have access to a secure online account management portal to provide a view of journey details, travel spend and auto top-up transactions. Customers can clearly see which journeys are covered by their season or prepaid tickets and which are chargeable to their Pay As You Go account.
Data Analytics
Operators have access to passenger behaviour intelligence through either iBlocks data analytics or through exports to a data warehouse / lake. Data collected provides a deep understanding of customer travel and the impact of timetable or fare changes on customer behaviour.
