Ferries

A common challenge many ferry companies face is security and admission control. However, there’s much more than that to running your business successfully on a day-to-day basis. In addition to admission control, you’re also managing ticket sales and other areas of revenue such as food or retail items. Gateway Ticketing Systems' admission control and revenue management systems provide a comprehensive solution for ferry companies to control their security, as well as their revenue and data.

Galaxy Provides a Single Solution that Addresses All of Your Operational Needs
Galaxy enables you to manage and monitor ticketing and retail from one central location, and track sales whenever and wherever they take place. By implementing the Gateway Ticketing Systems revenue management and admission control solution you’ll have the tools to improve operations efficiency, enhance your passengers’ experience, cut costs and significantly increase sales.

• Streamline Your Business with Point of Sale
  Sell, refund, or reissue a ticket or sell a t-shirt. Galaxy POS software does it all in one comprehensive package.  
  
  
• Quote Tomorrow’s Fares and Schedules Today

You may be managing other areas of revenue in addition to ticket sales, such as the sale of food and retail items. When each revenue area uses the same system for managing ticketing, retail sales and creating reports, a dramatic cut in costs and an increase in productivity can be realized.
