We have created bite-size segments so you can listen to the features you are most interested in.
In this segment, Jason talks through the latest developments in accepting QR codes.

QR CODE READER ENHANCEMENTS

Recognising that contactless methods of ticketing are key during the pandemic, we have enhanced our solution with regard to accepting QR codes:

  • We’ve extended our paper QR schema to provide a more robust way to manage multi-operator QR codes to help with the increasing number of multi-operator schemes we started to see emerge.
  • We’ve introduced the ability to hotlist QR codes from the portal, so QR codes, like ITSO cards and EMV cards could be declined by the ETM should the operator suspect fraudulent use or through lost paper tickets (who had thought that would have been possible a few years ago!).
  • And we’ve introduced the ability to report on any failed QR usage, for example, should the QR code be expired, not valid on that particular service or even when blocked.
