Account-Based Ticketing

Our Account-Based Ticketing (ABT) platform shifts fare intelligence from on-vehicle hardware to a powerful, cloud-hosted back office, giving operators complete control over pricing, policy, and passenger data in real time.

No Friction. No Queues. Just Seamless Journeys.

Whether you're managing a single city network or a regional multi-operator system, our ABT solution scales effortlessly to meet you where you are — and grows as you do. Passengers travel freely using the payment method they already prefer: smartphone, EMV bank card, smart card, or contactless token.

Why ABT Changes Everything

Convenience & Accessibility

Passengers tap and go using their phone or linked card, leaving behind the hassle of physical tickets entirely.

Real-Time Fare Management

Dynamic pricing, automatic fare capping, and targeted incentives optimise revenue and reward loyal riders. 

Built-in End-to-End Security

Account-linked transactions dramatically reduce fraud and revenue leakage compared to legacy systems. 

Future-Ready Flexibility

Adapt fare structures and integrate new technologies without costly infrastructure overhauls. 

Benefits of ABT for Passengers

Travellers manage their accounts through an intuitive branded mobile app or web portal — handling profile details, payment methods, product purchases, and journey history in one place. 

For those who prefer physical media, the system supports smart cards, EMV bank cards, any ISO 14443 A/B compatible device, and even paper tickets for anonymous travel. One account can hold multiple tokens, making it easy to manage travel for the whole family. 

Benefits of ABT for Operators

Your team gets a powerful customer support tool that makes account management effortless — search accounts, review history, process refunds, suspend accounts, and reissue products in seconds. In-field inspectors can validate customer products or NFC tokens instantly from a NFC-enabled Android device.

Point-of-sale functionality works the same way, enabling agents to top up accounts and sell products directly from a handheld device — with optional printer support. 

Benefits of ABT for B2B Partners

Business-to-business partners, such as schools, universities, and employers, can be registered directly in the system with product distribution, invoicing, reconciliation, and follow-up reporting all handled in one place.

A Back Office That Works as Hard as You Do

Our fare management module supports every major fare model — flat fare, pay-as-you-go, time-based, zonal, distance-based, origin-destination and integrated fares — with built-in ridership class support and configurable fare capping by day, week, or month. Introducing new products, adjusting pricing, or retiring old fare structures is fast and straightforward. 

Powerful Reporting Tools with Open API Connectivity

A comprehensive reporting suite covers sales, registrations, usage trends, and more, with ad-hoc reporting and exports to Excel, PDF, and other formats. Open APIs enable seamless integration with financial systems, CRMs, customer helpdesk tools, ITCS, GTFS, transit apps, parking systems, and any future technology stack you adopt.
