Mobile Point-Of-Sale Systems - Ticketing
On a typical journey by road, bus or tram, passengers will be boarding and alighting at various stops and stations along the route in a seemingly random fashion. Each possibility will have its own fare, and this fare might vary over the course of a day, week or season, and certain passengers will be entitled to concessions or have vouchers and passes that let them travel without a ticket. Imagine all the mathematical possibilities each passenger could inflict upon the ill-prepared ticket vendor.
Of course, a list of fare permutations can be worked out with a small booklet, but for the average transport operator, printing a booklet for every vendor for every route would be a costly exercise. And for the vendor, flicking through the booklet to find the right fare and then allocate a ticket to each passenger before they get off without paying is unlikely to happen.
M1 POS is updateable, power saving, robust, portable computer with printer to take the strain. A few presses of the touchscreen are enough to have an accurately priced ticket feeding out. Throw in a credit/debit card reader and a comprehensive ticketing service can be put into action.
The Machine is Windows CE based Nad is completely programable.
