OTI and Scheidt & Bachmann GmbH Form Strategic Alliance to Provide Leading-Edge Contactless Payment Solutions

Scheidt & Bachmann GmbH is an innovative systems house with trusted tradition, that develops, produces and distributes complete management systems for gasoline stations, mass transit ticketing, car parking and leisure centers and railway protection. OTI''s solution is a perfect fit for Scheidt & Bachmann, giving it the ability to support the ISO 14443 industry standard for contactless smart cards and readers, as well as enabling it to take advantage of OTI''s product capability for use in loyalty programs and tiered fare structures with a high level of security and transaction speed.

While the agreement encompasses a wide variety of projects, the first joint effort is targeting automated fare collection programs. Scheidt & Bachmann will act as the system integrator, with OTI supplying readers and software for Scheidt & Bachmann''s front-end solutions. OTI''s solution is based, in part, on its proprietary leading-edge solutions for electronic payment transactions like quick serve restaurants, drive-thrus, loyalty programs and gas stations where speed and security are essential.
