The great strength of AEP are the complete systems, not only those that manage millions and millions of daily transactions, but also those of medium and small companies that can access, at reasonable costs, a wealth of knowledge and deep and consolidated experience where AEP software and AEP equipment merge and integrate to be the ideal solution for every electronic ticketing requirement.
We have invested several million euros for this, creating what are probably today the best suites of applications for electronic ticketing and becoming one of the reference operators also on international markets, especially in the French one, one of the most advanced and challenging.
The results of these investments are at your disposal.
The AEP software offers all the most innovative functions that the market requires today: Account Based Ticketing, e-Commerce, Apps, web portals, EMV bank cards and much more.
The AEP software is based on technical solutions that represent today the state of the art in Electronic Ticketing and makes a wide use of standardized components with lower costs, less maintenance, and greater stability.
The basic functions are all already present; the customization operation therefore consists, to a maximum extent, in their composition and configuration.
The AEP software is designed for the world and can be configured for any language, even using non-Latin alphabets, but this is not enough.
The policy of AEP is to also offer support in the languages of the destination countries. Today AEP supports, in addition to Italian,
French, English, Russian, Romanian and other languages.
The AEP software it is used in many countries by important transport Companies and therefore offers
verifiable references, consolidated over years of operation.
Would you like to see at first hand ? We will be very glad to accompany you to visit facilities already in operation, to put you in touch with our customers, to let you personally verify the results achieved by AEP and its team of specialists, of which we are proud and which we believe to be among the best in the world.
ET-PASS is the most widespread solution in Italy for payment on board the bus with EMV contactless bank cards. We were the first in Italy and France to activate an EMV system on board a bus. In a few months, the AEP systems in operation will reach 20!
Users are enthusiastic about this new form of payment: no registration is necessary, no queues, no rules or expiration dates to learn and remember: it's really difficult to imagine a more practical and easier solution for customers, good even for those who couldn't find the ticket before boarding.
Also from the Company's point of view, the advantages are considerable, as it eliminates the cash management and the distribution of the tickets with all the related costs (physical support, storage, distribution, reordering...) and reduces boarding time.
ET-PASS is ready for you to enter into operation immediately!
ET-MOBILE is the ET module for Advanced Account Based Ticketing (AABT), which complements the advantages of traditional ABT with a complex set of solutions that make it probably unique.
With ET-MOBILE, we add to modern Apps a solution that was very appreciated in the past, the paper ticket, with all its advantages and without the problems that characterized it. The "smart paper" are equipped with QR-codes and can be issued by all the devices of the system (ticket offices, TVM, e-commerce portal, on-board devices, etc.) or massively produced in printers and distributed to retailers or staff. Complex tickets are possible, such as multi-passenger tickets, multi-trip carnet and check-in/check-out, both on paper ticket and App.
ET-MOBILE then solve one of the major problems of ABT systems, as it can operate for a certain period of time even in the absence of communication with the center, thanks to an optimized local replication of the data base contained in the central system; and this is not only for validation and verification purposes but also for sales, which can thus also take place on buses.
In mission-critical embedded systems, such as validators and on-board computers, where hardware and software are strongly interconnected, it is not possible to adopt the normal operating system distributions as they are. Many of the problems that a home or office user does not find dramatic, are instead completely unacceptable on equipment intended to operate up to 24 hours a day and performing tasks of economic importance.
AEP has a department called Embedded Operating System (EOS) where highly specialized technicians, competent both in software and hardware, develop and support the Linux operating system distributions to make it suitable to equip AEP devices. They are constantly working to perform tests, develop drivers, solve problems of existing ones, study electronic components and support our customers' requests.
There are many companies today able to realize normal software applications. But how many have a dedicated department and the same expertise as AEP on embedded operating systems?
How is it possible to guarantee the quality of a product? Many people believe that it comes from a good design, a good project, the use of good materials etc. but this is only... the beginning! In reality, an AEP product, as well as a car, is a dynamic entity that must be constantly supported throughout its existence.
It is in fact possible that the product may be used in different conditions from those expected, that the characteristics of a material may bee altered, that a production process of a component may change, that a component may no longer be available, that some characteristics may change over time, or, simply, that, although the initial tests were accurate, some problem may not have been detected and therefore requires corrective action.
The occurrence of these eventualities, completely physiological and predictable, does not represent a vulnus in the Quality process. On the contrary, it would be a serious mistake not to foresee them and not have the necessary organization to manage them.
At AEP this department is called QUPR (Product Quality) and is constantly working to ensure full functionality and continuity of service of all equipment supplied.
Among its competences is also the ability to issue Engineering Change Notes (ECN) and, in the most serious cases, real recall actions.
Those who choose AEP are therefore protected even after the warranty period, with the certainty of being able to obtain service and spare parts for ten years from the date of purchase.
