Core of the system
A powerful back office system is essential for modern ticketing systems. MOBILEvario provides the most comprehensive set of features for fare management and a revenue clearing. In addition, it serves as the core intelligence for ID-/account based ticketing systems. Its modular and open architecture offers the flexibility needed in our digitalized environment. The open system approach supports the integration of third-party systems, various identification schemes and the set-up of an intermodal mobility platform.
