Case Study
Complete Commerce for Self-Service
Reliable and compliant payments for Scheidt & Bachmann's ticket vending machines across the UK and Ireland
Improving service levels and achieving compliance for Scheidt & Bachmann
Scheidt & Bachmann (S&B) Fare Collection Systems provide 70% of the ticket vending machines (TVMs) across the UK and 100% across Ireland. They are responsible for around 7.6 million transactions per month. They needed a reliable supplier that could provide better service levels than what they had to keep up with customer demand.
Through TNS Complete Commerce for Self-Service, S&B implemented payment orchestration. TNS operates at a 24x7 system, which meant S&B could improve uptime of their ticket vending machines. TNS also offered something crucial to S&B's operation: a compliant solution.
