In 1992
SA Cash Register decided to enter the Point
Of Purchase Market and to target the
bus and train ticketing industry.
We were horrified to find out that the Point Of Sale system
was almost totally manual and that Electronics was a feared
word within the Management Of Bus Companies. |

0bjections
were "We have tried electronic ticketing machines however
they are costly, constantly break down and offer no back up
solution. (Complete System Solution) With this information we
approached Almex and explained the situation.
What was designed was a rugged machine to meet with
the most difficult South African Environmental conditions
namely poor roads, Dust, Water Ingress, Rust and Pest Problems.
The Almex A90 machine was then
configured for typical South African Bus Operators
and Local South African Conditions which has proved
itself over the last fourteen years. |

open platform Almex.optima
and Almex.mobile

Road conditions |

Long term support from
Almex allows the customer to count on the Almex.optima
and Almex.mobile
many years after the initial investment which results in a low
total cost of ownership for the Almex.optima and Almex.mobile
compared to other priority solutions.
The main advantage of the product is its great flexibility.
A large high-resolution display with soft keys
offers left and right hand ergonomics. The Almex.optima is designed
both for the presentation of complex information and at the
same time carries out highly efficient ticketing transactions.
AVL software can also be linked to the Almex.optima
and Almex.mobile via the GPRS unit. Our international partners
are ACIS and PSI who have
had great successes in Europe and the UK. |
