ADMINISTRATION OF PRE-PAID TICKETS

A logistic module that administers the life-cycle process of a ticket, from the creation of the ticket through to the distribution to the ticket retail outlet.



With Busweb you can administer the logistical process of ticket assigment to a retail outlet through the distribution to the customer. This module will allow you to monitor the loading of the tickets in the company stock through to the issue of commission's invoices which will be checked by authorised staff and recorded as part of the book-keeping.
This module has been developed to have a clear view of the life-cycle of a ticket, from the initial printing to the sale.

The starting point for the stock flow of prepaid tickets is the delivery of the batch of printed tickets that has been ordered by the carrier.

The loading of the company stock coincides with the uploading of the reserves of the distributors,

The discharge of the stock takes place together with the charging of the "wallet" of the ticket distributors, who deliver a first consignment of pre-printed tickets as a deposit account to the retail sales outlets (retail stock charging - distributors' wallet discharging).

On a regular basis the distributors will visit each retail outlets to restock their ticket supply (the retail outlets personal information is available on the database), in order to always keep a constant level of stock. The distributor will register the operation on the GPRS mobile and print the delivery notice through the bluetooth printer; through the GP System, connected to the central server, possible to see the movements between stocks (company stock, distribution stock etc.). In this way, the company ticket stock, the distributor's "wallet" and the retail sales are always updated at a central level. This mechanism allows to know in real time to whom is assigned every single ticket.

At every restocking the retail outlet will collect the amount of money owed to him by the bus carrier for the tickets sold.

In case of ticket fare changes, the stock will be revalued, i.e. the the old tickets will be replaced with new ones with the same number but with a higher fare, thus increasing the monetary value of the stock.
