APT SKIDATA Launches Digital Ticketing For Businesses With sWeb e-Ticket

APT SKIDATA, is launching e-ticketing with sWeb®

The UK’s leading parking solutions provider, APT SKIDATA, is launching e-ticketing with sWeb^® e-ticket to the UK market which allows businesses to take advantage of the digital world and meet customer expectation.

Integrated with Apple Wallet and Google Pay, the e-ticket services allow customers to receive their tickets instantly via email and are ready to be added and tagged through the NFC compatible phones. Tickets to Wallet service provides users with an easy, economical, and efficient delivery and management that allows the business and its ticketing partner to concentrate on other core functions.

The sWeb^® e-ticket takes the place of RFID cards, removing the costs associated with handling tickets while simultaneously offering the benefits of fraud prevention and enhancing the speed and convenience of the process. Stadiums and other venues will, for instance, be able to track entry information and do away with ticket duplication. E-tickets will improve usability for the guests, where tickets will be automatically pre-populated at the gate.

Digital ticketing also allows event organisers to include more details as well as a means of providing real-time updates to event guests.

The e-tickets can be used in conjunction with APT SKIDATA’s door.gate readers, flex.gates solutions, or readers with existing gates. The handshake.logic management solution flexibly configures access zones before and during operations, eliminating fraud and ticket processing errors with monitoring of ticket and access transactions and safeguarding your venue with improved safety and security features.

Steve Murphy, Managing Director of APT SKIDATA, says digital ticketing solutions have been created to address the needs of businesses and customers alike: “Our sWeb^® e-ticket solution combines the benefits of the digital world and meet the expectations of customers. The rapid use of smart passes and payments through the phone in recent years have opened doors for tickets to the wallet.

“Touch-free access to events can be advantageous for individuals because it is practical and effective. This solution simplifies everything - from integrating it into multiple wallets to the secure delivery of e-tickets to the end customer.”
