How Does PayiQ’s Solution Work?

Smart cities rely on smart ticketing

The world is moving into cities, but the streets are not getting any wider. The only way to tackle congestion, air pollution and the expectations of modern customers is to get smarter. Smart traffic means more efficient route planning, optimal use of resources and dynamic pricing. However, smart traffic is just half of the story. Only when people get the same satisfaction from transportation services that they get from driving a private car does the system as a whole evolve to a whole new level. This is where smart ticketing comes in.

The benefits of PayiQ’s smart ticketing

Customers are more and more appreciative of simplicity while buying tickets and services through the device they always carry, the mobile phone. They must feel safe with the solution and be able to use the payment methods they prefer. They must also be able to shop their tickets at any time. And ticket validation when entering transportation or a venue should be fast and smooth.

Base your purchase decision on a real-life pilot

The best way to prepare for a large-scale implementation of mobile ticketing is to pilot the service in a few specific routes and means of transportation. Let’s say a bus line or two, a tram route, and a train connection. PayiQ can build a pilot program with ticketing system, validation infrastructure (reading of the tickets) and relevant reporting in less than a month.

Built with service integrators in mind

A third party systems integrator is needed when a customer wants to integrate PayiQ’s service with a private cloud instead of using the Azure-based standard option. In this case, the systems integrator develops the last mile and, in some cases, also takes care of the hosting. At times PayiQ’s ticketing is something an integrator wants to offer as part of their own service portfolio.

PayiQ develops cloud-based intelligent mobile ticketing, payment and validation solutions for smart cities, MaaS and transport operators and event organizers around the globe utilizing Microsoft Azure technology. Our solutions provide end-users with a seamless way to travel from door to door and with the freedom to combine various means of transport and services under one transaction using their mobile phones. The open ecosystem enables end-users to freely choose from a wide range of payment methods. They can combine different services, such as those provided by route planning services, shared car and bike operators or event organizers. We help public and private service providers streamline their mobility services, increase their services’ attractiveness, safety and security in using them, and lower the cost of the fair collection while increasing customer satisfaction. PayiQ collaborates with Business Finland and as a member of Microsoft’s CityNext program in developing solutions for smart cities.
