TapProcessing

One platform for every terminal in your fleet

TapProcessing runs the validators and cashless devices you buy, from any vendor, and delivers every tap to the fare system you already use. Stop maintaining an app per vendor.

  • Any vendor, one fleet
  • Bank cards, transit cards, QR, and phones
  • Keeps working offline

Why TapProcessing

A mixed fleet shouldn't turn you into a software company

An app for every vendor

Each terminal vendor ships its own firmware or app, so every new model is another integration to build and support.

Locked in to one supplier

Once your fares and lists live in one vendor's software, changing terminals means starting over. With TapProcessing you work through a standard REST API, not each terminal's SDK.

Passengers expect modern ways to pay

More and more riders pay through apps rather than cards. We provide not just terminal software but a mobile wallet in your brand too.

Vehicles lose signal

A validator has to answer in a moment, with or without network, and never lose a tap.

A fleet you can't see

Without one view of every terminal, problems surface as passenger complaints.

Every fare system is a project

Connecting a new fare engine, back office, or bank takes months of one-off integration work.

Benefits

What TapProcessing gives you

Software for your terminals, a cloud that collects every tap, and one portal to run it all.

One fleet, any vendor
The same software and the same rules on every terminal. Add a vendor or a model without rebuilding anything.
Every way to ride or pay
Contactless bank cards and phones, transit cards, QR tickets, payment QR, and concession cards on the same validator.
Works without network
Validators decide on the spot and keep every tap safe until the connection is back.
Your fares, your partners
We don't set prices. Every tap goes to the fare engine, back office, or bank you choose, in one standard shape.
Your fleet under control
See every terminal's health, roll out new rules over the air without reflashing, and lock a lost terminal remotely.
Better for passengers
Live vehicle positions and timetables for passenger apps, and an optional app in your own brand.
Clear pricing

No cut of your fares

You pay a fixed fee per transaction, not a percentage of the ticket price as transit processing usually charges. When fares go up, our fee stays the same.

  • Usually

    A percentage of every ticket

  • TapProcessing

    A fixed fee per transaction

Industries

Built for transit and vending

Every door, every route, every trip
Pay by distance

Tap in, tap out, pay for the ride you took

Passengers tap when they board and when they get off, and pay by distance or zones. It works at any door, with bank and transit cards, even offline. Flat-fare routes keep a single tap.

  • A validator at every door, and all of them agree on each card, even offline
  • Drivers open a trip with their card and pick the route on the validator
One card

Cross-operator and multi-modal rides

A passenger taps the same card on a bus, a tram, and the metro for any ride with any operator, and we gather every tap into one ride with transfers if your fare rules require it.

  • Ticket inspection on the inspector's handheld terminal
  • Live positions and timetables in Google Maps, Yandex, and your own app
Flexible rules

Processing rules that are easy to set

Passes, concessions, and stored-value cards with online top-ups. Set validity, zones, ride counts, and discounts in the portal or in your fare system, and they sync automatically, without reflashing.
