FULL-STACK

Full-stack delivery.

Validators, gates, drivers, fare engine, dashboards — built and supported by one team, with one contract and one point of accountability.

ALIGNMENT

Hardware and software, aligned.

Field hardware and the backend platform are designed together, so provisioning, key management, and updates work as one system, not as integration projects.

OPEN

Open integration model.

Standards-based APIs and transport-industry interfaces (GTFS-RT, SIRI, REST, webhooks) let PROXIMA fit alongside existing ERP, depot, and PIS systems — without lock-in.

REPORTING

Audit-ready reporting workflows.

Transaction logs, clearing data, and event history are structured for the kind of reporting that authorities and operators have to produce — not just dashboards.

LIFECYCLE

Deployment and lifecycle support.

Public transport systems run for years. We plan for staged rollouts, on-site commissioning, training, and long-horizon maintenance from the beginning of the engagement.

OPERATORS

Built for public and private operators.

Authorities, municipal operators, private bus companies and infrastructure partners each have their own constraints — the platform and process are designed to accommodate all of them.

UC-01 CITY

City-wide AFC modernization

Replace legacy ticketing with account-based fares and contactless payments, with a phased rollout that keeps the existing service running through the transition.

Phased rollout Multi-channel Reporting
UC-02 HARDWARE

EMV/contactless validator rollout

Fleet-wide deployment of EMV/contactless on-board validators with depot provisioning, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance.

Fleet-wide Depot ops Lifecycle
UC-03 NETWORK

Multi-operator transport network

Unified fare media and clearing across bus, tram and rail operators on a single AFC tenant, with per-operator accounting and reporting.

Multi-operator Multi-modal Clearing
UC-04 PIS

Passenger information deployment

Stop-side panels, on-board displays, web and mobile information channels fed from a single real-time data layer.

SIRI GTFS-RT Multi-channel
UC-05 ACCESS

Parking, access & gate validation

Park-and-ride, depot access and station gating using the same validator family as on-board equipment, on the same platform.

Park & ride Gating Access control
UC-06 ITS

Fleet monitoring for operators

Vehicle telemetry, schedule adherence, driver console, and exception alerting integrated with the operations dashboard.
