 A very special first: Launch of the three new DESIGNA pay stations: Pay Coinless, Pay Cashless and Pay Cash & Card 

July 18, 2018

 

 

 

A very special first: Launch of the three new DESIGNA pay stations 

Pay Coinless, Pay Cashless and Pay Cash & Card 

 

 

 

Kiel, 2018-07-18, Welcome to the new face of the BlueEdition product family . The three new DESIGNA pay stations – Pay Coinless, Pay Cashless and Pay Cash & Card – prove that technical re-quirements and sophisticated design go hand in hand. The special feature: the new pay stations are specifically developed to meet the demand for payment options that are currently desired by the operator. 

Instead of simply having one fully equipped pay station which involves the operating company having to make compromises if it for example wishes only to accept coinless payments, DESIGNA now offers three pre-defined pay stations with separate performance profiles for every payment need. All three new pay stations – Pay Cashless, Pay Coinless and Pay Cash & Card – are designed for processing tick-ets and cards with magnetic strip and barcode technology. They are compact in design and architec-ture, available in different operating heights and optionally equipped with NFC readers. The intuitive-ly designed user interface ensures a smooth payment process for car park customers. 

Pay Cashless: Being able to pay for parking conveniently, without cash, makes a significant contribu-tion in improving customer satisfaction. With the cashless solution from DESIGNA, operators can offer their customers a secure transmission of customer payment data and reduce the expense of cash handling. 

Pay Coinless: The coinless solution shortens the payment process by handling bank notes and credit cards exclusively. Thus, providing less stress and greater customer satisfaction. 

Pay Cash & Card: The all-in-one pay station provides full device architecture and functionality. All payment transactions, whether with cash, debit/credit cards or cashless can be performed. Thus, all requirements to a fully-equipped car park management system can be fulfilled.

DESIGNA at Intertraffic 2018, Amsterdam

March 19, 2018

DESIGNA at Intertraffic 2018, Amsterdam

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kiel, 2018-03-19: The anticipation is building. From 20 – 23 March 2018, DESIGNA will be represented at Intertraffic 2018 in Amsterdam (stand 03.302), one of the world’s biggest traffic and transport industry trade fairs. Taking “Integrated Intelligence” as their theme, DESIGNA and its partner, ilogs, will be demonstrating the opportunities that the seamless interaction between inno- vative software features and the latest hardware offer for every industry.

 

 

Visitors can look forward to several firsts. For example the new sector-specific software offerings, CAPS, that will take parking management into a new dimen- sion, three new pay stations, and the 10th anniversary of the successful DESIGNA cloud service, ASP.

 

 

 

The DESIGNA trade fair highlights

 

CAPS – the new definition for optimised parking management

 

As unique as every company: CAPS made by DESIGNA are the new customised software solutions for parking management. Tailored specifically to each sector, CAPS meet a wide variety of demands. They also extend both the service offer- ing and workflow of car park operators easily at the click of a mouse.

 

 

A very special first: the introduction of three new pay stations.

That technical specifications and superior design go very much hand in hand is demonstrated by the three new DESIGNA pay stations – Pay Cash & Card, PAY Cashless and PAY Coinless. The special feature of the new pay stations is that they are specifically designed to cover the demand for different payment meth- ods. Different operating heights are also no problem, for example if a disability- friendly pay station is required.

 

 

An impressive anniversary – 10 years of the ASP Cloud Service.

There is hardly another service from 2008 to the present day that has elicited such a positive response on such a sustained basis from car park operators as the DESIGNA ASP cloud service. No wonder, since it offers the convenient out- sourcing of the entire IT system, a specially shielded server park, the lightning quick addition of, for example, parking services or the installation of the latest security updates. Currently around 45 million parking transactions take place every year via DESIGNA’s ASP cloud service.
