SwissPass omnichannel sales and distribution system
The SwissPass omnichannel sales and distribution system is an innovative, scalable, user-friendly and multichannel solution that enables transport companies to offer products and services to their customers via several types of distribution channels (point-of-sale, webshop, and mobile devices).
The SwissPass modular, omnichannel sales and distribution system enables public transport companies to create a strong relationship with their customers. Use a webshop, point-of-sale, or both!
A sales and distribution system is an essential element for a public transport company. It enables the customer to access the service and the company to generate revenue. The sales system links the customer and the transport company. Ease of use and user-friendliness is essential as this transforms a purchase into a pleasant experience. Public transport companies can offer their products and services via several types of distribution channels (point-of-sale, web, mobile device).
Multi-channel
- ePOS (Point-of-Sale): for physical sales locations. So you can serve your customers with a broad range of products: NOVA products (umbrella association, season tickets), non-NOVA products (vouchers, prepaid cards…), other articles (articles from the shop)…
- ePOS-light: a simplified version of the application is available for other sales locations (kiosks, tourism offices, etc.), (on a tablet or PC): e.g., a SwissPass season ticket can be renewed in 3 clicks with this solution!
- Web: Online Shop – either independent (“standalone”) or integrated into your website (with us or with your web partner). Also designed for smartphones (“mobile first”).
- Our solution is expandable: new distribution channels can be added in the future.
- Payment methods: cash (CH and EUR), Reka-Checks, RailCheck vouchers, Twint, credit and debit cards (SIX), tariff association vouchers
- Key Account: this functionality allows you to “mass import” the employees of your best customers. If the customer’s employees do not have a SwissPass the solution automatically orders and generates a card.
- The Cockpit Application supports your customer service business processes: cash management, sales sessions, sales bookings … all of these business process can be modified as required.
