Scheidt & Bachmann, a German company involved in car parks, leisure facilities, fare management and gas stations, has partnered with LEGIC Identystems, a Switzerland-based contactless smart card producer, to offer its customers electronic ticketing and access control in the company’s leisure sector business.


The company is now in a position to focus increasingly on LEGIC in the realm of car park equipment, too. In fact, an e-ticketing fare management system for public transport is already in use in Augsburg.

“The collaboration with LEGIC as part of a licensing partnership enables us to provide a more exact response to our customers’ needs,” said Thomas Müller, project manager, Scheidt & Bachmann. ‘“Customers will now enjoy the benefits of up-to-date LEGIC advant technology in our e-ticketing, parking and cashless payment solutions as well as the opportunity to access secure and easy-to-use multi-applications.”

Added Dr Otto Eggimann, vice president Sales and Business Development at LEGIC: “In Scheidt & Bachmann, we have not just one of the leading suppliers of electronic ticketing solutions for public transport as well as leisure and parking systems. We are also able to provide end-users with an even wider selection of LEGIC based products and systems.” [end] 

Oracle has released a new version of Oracle Retail Point-of-Service that aims to increase security, operational efficiency and functionality in part by integrating biometrics.

Oracle partnered with DigitalPersonal to add integrated biometrics to the POS package. Users of the software will login using their fingerprint, which will replace the need for PINs or passwords. This feature intends to reduce fraud by eliminating the possibility of unauthorized employees using a manager ID or swipe card to access the POS and approve overrides.
