IRVINE, Calif., May 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Smart City Services International (SCSI) is pleased to announce the issuance of a purchase order to ISIGN Media Solutions Inc. (iSIGN) (TSX-V: ISD) (OTC: ISDSF), for its HALOfx mobile messaging and Passive Historical Contact Tracing (PHACT) technology, with mobile device and individual passenger numeration for the verification of in-coming and exiting passenger on any transit vehicle.
The purchase order is for 100 or more as required HALOfx units to equip the first one hundred private transit buses with delivery as soon as possible. The target is to have 1,000 buses fully equipped with the HALOfx units by the end of 2022.
The reasons for the installation of the HALOfx units is to independently validate the number of riders and compare the number of riders to the cash fares being collected; to provide the opportunity for commercial advertising messages to riders; and for the use of public safety and security alerts. The goal of the transit systems is to improve ROI and increase the data being gathered on their passengers.
The addition of HALOfx technology to SCSI’s existing partnership with Payolog, a global payment and Smart City Solutions Leader, will increase accountability throughout private and public transit locations, stations and onboard vehicles as a unified network. The new technology allows for the introduction of loyalty programs and rewards for passengers using public transit through a joint collaboration between SCSI, Payolog and iSIGN. It is believed that the introduction of a loyalty rewards program combined with cashless ticketing will result in increased ridership levels as well as further increasing the safely of drivers and passengers.
Sal Haro, CEO & President at SCSI - “Adding a rewards program for transit owners provides an additional revenue stream to the transit industry. The transit industry is ready to offer these additional benefits to their passengers. We are excited to be in this partnership and offer these services to Mexico.”
Alex Romanov, CEO at iSIGN - “SCSI has projected the first one thousand vehicles for the remainder of this year and three thousand vehicles for 2023 and each year following to cover and provide services to one of the world’s largest transit systems. Our partnership with SCSI and their Smart City digital and mobile payment partners will have ISIGN’s full support to provide networks from transit to airports and commerce in Mexico, USA and beyond.”
