Synchronising ticket sales via mobile devices
The new app, named Event Farm, will be developed on ROAM Data’s mobile platform and commerce APIs (view press release). It is designed to remove the need for Box Offices by providing an integrated ticket management, will call and payments process. The aim is to eliminate staffed ticket windows and print off paper tickets and enable event organisers to synchronise ticket sales via mobile devices with online inventories in real time. All data is stored directly in the app and the API is available to event organisers via Event Farm.
Ryan Costello, Event Farm CEO and co-founder, says “what is ground-breaking is that our app is fully integrated into our ticketing platform. We are not just independently charging credit cards on a mobile device… Ticket inventories on the App store are synched with sales happening in real time online and vice versa. Equally as important, this service does not require the purchase of expensive hardware – it uses mobile phones and dongles – and is secure and fast. This is the solution the events industry has been waiting for.”
ROAM’s encrypted reader and API integrates secure payments into mobile devices on iOS and Android platforms.
