Ven-Trafiken chooses Carus

Another island ferry operator has chosen Carus as supplier for their booking and ticketing systems. After a thorough evaluation, Ven-Trafiken concluded that Carus offered the best solution in terms of skills, experience, cost and quality.

Ven-Trafiken is going through a major business upgrade which includes a new ferry, a new terminal in Landskrona and the renewal and modernization of their systems. Carus will deliver its CarRes reservation system for booking and ticketing which will include systems to enable ticket sales and control even on board the ferries. Carus will also deliver ticket kiosks both for indoor and outdoor use.

Ven-Trafiken issued a public tender and conducted a thorough evaluation of the offers presented by the ticketing and reservation system providers in the market in which they compared functionality, skills and experience as well as the proposed implementation processes presented by the companies against the total cost of installation and ongoing maintenance of the system for booking, ticketing and automation. In this evaluation Carus received the highest score and thereby won the contract.

Magnus Anderson, CEO of Ven-Trafiken says: "A long tradition in the ferry industry and extensive experience in island ferry operations makes us confident in the performance of Carus. Our assessment that Carus is the right supplier for us has also been further confirmed by the experiences we have exchanged with other ferry operators using the CarRes system."

"Since Ven-Trafiken will take the system into service after this year's peak season, the total project elapsed time for installation and implementation will be much longer than we are used to, although the active work will be concentrated to an intensive five week period right after Ven-Trafiken's peak season," says Carus CEO Anders Rundberg.
