Customer

A provider of nationwide digital signage networks, intelligent visitor information systems, and visitor management solutions for international trade fairs and events.

  • Business name NDA
  • LOCATION Germany
  • BUSINESS ACTIVITY Digital media distribution

Problem

The customer turned to Softeq to create a client-server app that helps event organizers reduce the time to admit attendees to an event while collecting information on the participants for statistical analysis.

Solution

Our team created a client-server app that can be installed on a custom handheld Android device. Event organizers can use the gadget to scan visitor tickets, which might contain over 40 types of access codes (QR, Data Matrix, ITF among others). The application then transmits the data to the dedicated back-end server using SSL encryption.

The app also supports offline ticket verification: if the device has lost connection to the server, the application checks ticket data locally. This function is enabled by calling a precompiled library containing an algorithm for code verification.

The key features of the ticket scanning app include:

  • Online/offline ticket verification
  • Ticket and user information storage in the offline mode
  • Option to cancel a ticket
  • Displaying ticket history
  • Multilingual UI (German, English)
  • Background batch data transmitted to the server
  • Possibility to configure time after which the device switches to offline mode
  • Manual activation of the online/offline mode
  • Log file generation

Results

Happy with the project results, the client has already tested the application at an international event in Cologne, Germany.
