Transport Card / RFID Card Testing and Reporting Services
Why Test Transport Cards?
Transport cards are smart cards / chip cards used for access control and payment applications for transport services. The use of RFID technology is frequent across different modes of transportation around the world. Transport applications are intended to be agile, responsive and unobtrusive. The flow and speed of these applications are essential, as to not impede the transport service but to elevate it.Transport cards are important for users who continually rely on them for their daily commute. As one a high use card type, transport cards need to be dependable and resistant against wear. Branding on transport cards is therefore frequently visible, and a degrading or failing card invites negative opinions of the transport company.
Any kind of disruption to the efficiency / functionality of transport applications due to faulty transport cards undermine their purpose. They can be harmful to the service instead of facilitating travellers and aiding operations. Disruptions cause inconvenience to travellers and staff, hurting the brand. Re-issuance of transport cards due to card fault or failure is also an unnecessary cost and inconvenience.
