The 4186 Xerox ticketing system developed for the Envibus operator in Sophia-Antipolis, France, had to meet stringent standards for data integrity, traceability and transaction security.

In partnership with the operator’s teams, Xerox configured the Atlas system, with automated processes to eliminate any possibility of fraud or error in entering data, particularly with respect to information fed back from the equipment. The system stores data in concentrators and performs integrity checks at each level.  It also has advanced search tools developed by Xerox to enable operators to identify transaction and payment details for individual tickets.
