delivery part of improved service offering
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS) today announced that TravelMaster,
the commercial organisation responsible for delivering and managing
multi-operator and integrated ticketing in South Yorkshire, has
selected the Rambus Ticketing suite to deliver a multi-operator
smart ticketing solution. The new, innovative smart ticketing
system will allow TravelMaster customers to purchase ticketing
products online and reap the benefits of smart ticketing whilst
travelling across buses, trams and trains in South Yorkshire.
Rambus has extensive experience in delivering robust and
scalable smart ticketing solutions which act as the backbone for
deployments across the UK for bus, rail, subway and metro. Under
this five-year agreement, Rambus will provide a HOPS back office
with web retail and smart ticket collector app, to enable the
secure delivery of digital smart tickets directly to tablets and
mobile devices.
The solution will allow customers to purchase a range of
flexible multi-operator tickets, valid on any bus, tram or train
throughout South Yorkshire, online and in-advance through a retail
portal on the TravelMaster website. These tickets can then be
loaded onto a smart card via on-vehicle ticketing machines or
through NFC-enabled and compatible smart phones.
“Our customers rightly expect to be able to purchase our great
range of value for money products at their own convenience and this
appointment is a major step towards TravelMaster meeting those
expectations,” said Matt Smallwood, general manager of
TravelMaster. “We’re one of the leading smart ticketing schemes in
the UK and with the pedigree Rambus have in this field we will be
able to deliver an innovative, accessible and enhanced way for our
customers to purchase their products.”
TravelMaster’s e-Commerce system is a key part of the company’s
retail strategy, which intends to support patronage growth,
enhanced access to opportunities and economic development within
the Sheffield City Region. By implementing commercially
sustainable, customer-oriented, technologically innovative and
integrated ways of selling and fulfilling products, TravelMaster
and Rambus will together support a brighter future for South
Yorkshire.
Russell McCullagh, vice president and general manager of Rambus
Ticketing, commented: “For operators looking to provide a modern,
frictionless transport experience that customers can rely on, smart
mobile ticketing is the answer. We’re delighted to be working with
TravelMaster and look forward to delivering a truly reliable
ticketing experience for passengers which will create improved
services and ticket access.”
TravelMaster intends to deploy the new e-Commerce system in the
first half of 2019.
