Three Easy Steps to Improve Revenue Department Efficiency
The Galaxy Admission Control system is a ticket and pass validation system that integrates with Galaxy Ticketing Point of Sale. The flexible system design provides a wide range of features such as full on-line validation, revenue management, tracking of admission statistics.

The ability to combine sales data directly from Galaxy Ticketing Point of Sale with access data from entrance and exit points provides management and operations with timely ticket and pass usage information, along with increased security through real-time validation.




1. Import Tickets. Tickets sold on Gateway's TX3280 point of sale system are transformed to coupon segments through the TX3280 coupon export process. This coupon export provides such information as coupon origin, destination, miles, and value. This file easily imports into the Bus Guide Lift System database through the Import Coupons options. 

What about coupons not included in the import file? These coupons can still be entered manually during the coupon batch entry process.


2. Scan Tickets. Enter the trip number, trip date, and driver name, and you're ready to scan coupons. Those coupons having a valid TASA bar code and having been imported into the database can be scanned. All other tickets are manually entered with minimal effort. Since most coupons are scanned, data entry time is significantly reduced. Bus Guide Lift allows multiple users to scan coupons simultaneously.

3. Report. This is Bus Guide Lift's most powerful feature. Obtain passenger counts, passenger revenue, revenue per passenger, and revenue per trip miles all on one report. This information can be for all trips, one trip, or trips with common origins and/or destinations. Other information such as interline reclaim revenue, recognized revenue (lifted coupons), and expected revenue (unlifted coupons) is also available. Since MicrosoftT SQL Server is used as the database, third party report packages allow you to create your own reports.
