Passavo — scanning & till

fades-management

About this app

Passavo is the app at the door. Scan tickets with your phone’s camera, or sell them on the spot from a tablet. One job at a time, large and legible — even on a cheap device, even without a network.

SCANNING
• Full-screen camera and one answer per ticket: green VALID, amber CHECK (already scanned at …), red NOT VALID.
• Colour is never the only signal. Every answer also carries a symbol and a word — which is what you need at a dark entrance or in bright sunlight.
• Vibration and a tone as well, because at a busy door nobody is looking at the screen.
• A QR code that won’t read? Search for the visitor by name, product or code and check them in by hand.
• The counter shows all day how many people are in, out of how many expected.

WORKS WITHOUT A NETWORK
• The day’s manifest sits on the device. Scanning itself is entirely local, so a cellar or a field with no coverage is not a problem.
• Every scan goes into a queue on the device first and leaves as soon as the connection is back.
• A ticket this device has already checked off says “already used” straight away — offline too.
• If the server later comes back with a different answer, the server wins and the app corrects itself.

DESK TILL
• Sell at the desk on an iPad or tablet, with the same prices and the same stock as online.
• Cash, card or QR. With a payment terminal if you have one, and just as well without.
• A receipt straight away, on paper or by email.
• Every movement goes into a till journal that cannot be changed afterwards.
• The till itself needs a connection. Scanning works without one.

ALSO
• Time slots: by the hour or by part of the day, with a capacity per slot.
• Season passes: validity period and visits per day, without a connection too.
• Wallet passes scan like any other ticket, Apple Wallet included.
• Tickets from resellers such as Tiqets and GetYourGuide, with the reseller’s name shown at the door.
• Seven languages: Dutch, French, English, German, Italian, Bulgarian and Spanish. The app follows the language of the device.

WHO IT’S FOR
Museums and castles, but just as much a club concert, a workshop, a sports day, a trade fair or a boat trip. Anywhere someone stands at a door and has to know whether this visitor may come in.

SIGNING IN
Passavo goes with a Passavo account. You sign in with your venue’s organisation code and your own email address. Accounts are created by the administrator in the management area; the app itself creates no accounts and sells nothing to the visitor.

What’s new

New: the till. Choose at sign-in whether this device scans or sells, and sell at the desk on the same tablet — the same prices and stock as online, with or without a payment terminal, receipt on paper or by email.

Also: the app remembers the chosen mode per device and the day’s manifest refreshes itself on opening.
