AMCON (August 9, 2017) — For the second time, AMCON from Cloppenburg is partnering with krauth technology from Eberbach. Stadtverkehr Lübeck has chosen a combined solution from AMCON and krauth technology for the Priwallfähren in Travemünde. Eight ticket machines have been ordered and are scheduled to go into operation soon.
For Braunschweiger Verkehrs-GmbH, 100 mobile ticket machines from krauth technology will be equipped with AMCON’s innovative software solution.
New ticketing system for Priwall ferries
To replace the existing ticketing systems for the Priwallfähren in Travemünde, Stadtverkehr Lübeck has commissioned software developer AMCON from Cloppenburg to deliver eight new ticket machines. With AMCON’s modular UFHO back-end system, integration with Lübeck’s existing PATRIS system will be simple and seamless in the future. The machines also support girocard and credit card payments, including contactless options.
For Olaf Clausen, Managing Director of AMCON and a Lübeck native, it is a special pleasure that Lübeck’s public transport authority was convinced by their innovative ticketing solution. “With our UFHO sales model, Priwall visitors are provided with an intuitive ticket machine interface that makes cashless ticket purchases significantly easier,” says Clausen. The eight new machines are expected to be available to passengers later this year.
Partnership on equal footing
Braunschweiger Verkehrs-GmbH initiated an EU-wide tender for 100 mobile ticket machines to be used in city tram vehicles. These machines will enable passengers to purchase tickets cashlessly in the future. Krauth technology successfully won the tender and is integrating AMCON’s software solution in the implementation. With the acquisition of the mobile machines, the sales processes in the trams will be transformed to increase boarding speed and relieve the passenger service staff on board. “Thanks to the extensive documentation provided during the proposal phase and numerous constructive discussions with the project team at Braunschweiger Verkehrs-GmbH, we were able to offer a tailored solution. Passengers can look forward to our mobile ticket machines as a completely new sales channel,” explains Thomas Kloss from the sales team at krauth technology.
