Practical Solutions
As the global population continues to grow and our towns and cities become more congested, people need to make greater use of public and shared transport to get around efficiently while reducing their carbon footprint.
Current transport ticketing solutions are restrictive, fragmented and expensive to implement.
At Smartran Consulting, we can make it easier, greener and cheaper to implement multi-modal transport ticketing. We have experience and ability to deliver solutions building on mobile ticketing Apps, contactless EMV acceptance in transit, integration with National Rail ticketing and Mobility as a Service.
We can help you transform the passenger experience on public and active transport and assist transport operators and Transport Authorities to offer seamless journeys and payment..
Smartran Consulting designed and developed the systems which enable the innovative Eco Rewards mini MaaS scheme. The work included technical, data and user design for smart readers, mobile App, real-time transaction database, membership services and operational support. The system is designed to support 10s thousand of members and 100s of organisations. It is scalable as more schemes are added. (Smartran Consulting holds the IPR for Eco Rewards which is run by not for profit Ecological Rewards Ltd) More...
