At major events, music festivals and football matches, one of the public's main concerns is related to transportation. To make life easier for those who go to these places, companies offer transportation alternatives, with closed packages, which can be even better and simpler with a new solution from Positivo. From now on, the Brazilian manufacturer of hardware technology will offer the integration of its payment terminals to digital ticket sales solutions, with a series of facilities for the end user.
The first partnership has just been signed with Urbanky Payments – a company specialized in personalizing and marketing congresses, concerts, workshops and online events – and has already been tested by the public at a large music festival that took place over the first fortnight September in Rio de Janeiro. “One of our intelligent payment terminals, the Positivo L300, was used by the public to validate transport tickets First class, powered by Urbanky. From a single platform, our machines provide the integration of the client's application with the support of the development team, with the Android system and with certifications that guarantee greater security in financial transactions", explains Fernando Otani, Business Director of Soluções de Payment by Positivo Tecnologia.
In practice, Urbanky's transport service customers gain the convenience of having a series of boarding points available throughout the city of Rio de Janeiro, with the comfort of automatically validating tickets at stations positioned on the spot, both on the way out and and on the return of the Rock festival. In the case of First Class, customers using the service can access the festival from an exclusive entrance and not worry about parking, queues and other issues common to this type of situation.
From the hardware point of view, the Positivo L300 intelligent payment terminals have a 5” display, connectivity to mobile networks, accessibility via a physical keyboard, options for physical and proximity readers, front and rear cameras for code scanning, as well as a printer and magnetic charging connector that generates safety and practicality at the point of sale. “The partnership with Positivo Tecnologia represents an advantage for everyone involved, from the final consumer to the point of sale. In addition to convenience, a major differential is consumer safety, one of the most important aspects for Urbanky. We want them to have an amazing, worry-free experience and to be able to focus all their energy on the event they are going to”, says Vinicius Colonese, President of Urbanky Payments.
The pioneering partnership between Positivo Tecnologia and Urbanky is the first with this business model to be effectively implemented in the Brazilian market. However, the Brazilian technology company's solution can be used in other initiatives that seek payment alternatives by smart terminal, regardless of the purpose of the payment, whether by ticketing or point of management for the POS.
Payment solutions are one of Positivo Tecnologia's business diversification strategies. Based on the development and sale of mobile and intelligent payment terminals, as well as a structure of hardware and software services, it facilitates the strategy of companies, the routine of points of sale and the security of financial transactions.
