SIMA.EBE
Increased-fare processing without media breaks
SIMA.EBE handles the entire process around the increased fare: issuance directly from the inspection, digital capture of personal data, optional on-the-spot payment, certificate with or without printer — and at the end, a clean handover to accounting or collection. No paper, no transcription errors, no file left lying around.
The solution is tightly integrated with SIMA.KONTROLLE: once a violation is detected, the increased-fare capture is just one tap away. Personal data, the case and evidence land automatically in the central case management. Dunning levels, incoming payments and special agreements flow there too — including reports for accounting and handover files for collection and legal partners.
Functions at a glance
-
Capture inside the inspection
Violation detected — increased fare captured in just a few steps. Personal data, evidence, timestamp and inspector are recorded in the same case, with no switching between apps or forms.
-
Card payment on the spot
Passengers who want to pay immediately can do so via NFC card payment right on the device — no separate payment terminal. The receipt is delivered digitally or via an optional receipt printer.
-
Digital certificate
Issued certificates are generated, signed and handed to the passenger directly — printed or digital. No more carbon-copied forms, no transcription errors in the back office.
-
Central case management
All increased-fare cases run together in a central case management — searchable by line, period, inspector or status. Special agreements and deferrals are handled right on the case.
-
Dunning levels and payments
Automatic dunning levels with configurable deadlines and texts. Incoming payments are matched against open cases, dunning levels close automatically.
-
Handover to collection and accounting
Exports and interfaces to collection agencies, legal partners and accounting are ready to go. Clean documented handover instead of stacks of paper in a filing cabinet.

Hardware options
SIMA.EBE runs on the same mobile hardware as SIMA.KONTROLLE — the key requirement is that certificates can be printed on the spot. Three typical setups:
SUNMI V3
Mobile all-in-one device with a built-in 58 mm thermal printer — increased-fare capture, card payment and certificate printing in one device.
SUNMI L3
Slim inspection device without an integrated printer — for the increased-fare workflow paired with the mobile Bixolon printer via Bluetooth (see right).
Bixolon SPP-R310
Mobile Bluetooth thermal printer as an add-on to the SUNMI L3 — prints increased-fare certificates and receipts on the spot. Battery-powered, compact, fits in a belt or pocket.
