Cloppenburg, 15. July 2025 – VWS Verkehrsbetriebe Westfalen-Süd GmbH, responsible for public transport (ÖPNV) in the districts of Siegen-Wittgenstein and Olpe, has introduced new sales systems as part of a comprehensive digitalization project.
The Cloppenburg-based software manufacturer AMCON supplied a wide range of modern solutions for this project: mobile data capture devices for inspection and ticket sales on board, stationary cash register systems for sales at service points, and a flexible subscription solution. The latter supports various subscription models, including the Deutschlandticket in its standard, student, and job ticket versions, as well as other regional subscription products.
The system is complemented by a user-friendly customer app offering numerous functions for passengers. In addition to direct sales of tickets for occasional travel, it enables digital issuance of subscriptions and includes an intuitive timetable and stop information feature.
All components are now successfully in operation and support VWS in providing efficient, customer-focused ticket sales – from inspection and sales to self-service. “Introducing the new ticketing solutions is an important step for us towards digitalization and customer focus. With AMCON’s systems, we can offer our passengers significantly improved service – flexible, simple, and up to date,” says Jörg Mühlhaus, Managing Director of VWS.
Darius Rauert, Managing Partner of AMCON Software GmbH, is also satisfied with the project outcome: “We are proud that all components of the project have been successfully put into operation and work together seamlessly. The long-standing, trusting partnership with VWS was a key success factor – together, we were able to implement a modern, future-proof sales system.”
