SIMA.CHIPKARTE
Chip cards as a ticket medium
SIMA.CHIPKARTE covers the entire lifecycle of physical chip cards: ordering, personalisation, assignment to customers and entitlements, and blocking lost or invalid cards. Cards can be issued at the counter, online via SIMA.WEBSHOP, or via batch jobs.
Connections to SIMA.ABO, SIMA.KONTROLLE and SIMA.TARIF make sure card content and contract data stay in sync at all times. Hybrid models — chip card plus digital ticket — can be modelled too.
Functions at a glance
-
Lifecycle management
Order, personalise, activate, block — every state of a chip card is centrally and traceably tracked. Loss and swap workflows happen without media breaks.
-
Assignment to customers and entitlements
Cards are uniquely assigned to a customer record and their active subscriptions or entitlements. Contract changes propagate automatically to the card content.
-
Issuance across every channel
Cards can be created at the counter, online in the webshop or via batch jobs — for example for student or job ticket structures.
-
Hybrid ticket models
Chip card plus digital ticket in the wallet can be combined — for customer groups that use both in parallel or switch between media.
Benefits at a glance
One source for contract and card
Card content and contract data stay in sync at all times — no manual reconciliation, no discrepancies between card and subscription system.
Swaps without media breaks
Loss, defect or expiry are handled directly in the system — blocking, reorder and reactivation in one workflow.
Modular and combinable
Usable standalone or coupled directly with SIMA.ABO and SIMA.WEBSHOP — catalogues and ordering channels grow with demand.
