          AOI (Area of Interest):

          TransLink wanted to provide real-time transit information to its customers to improve their experience and increase passenger satisfaction. They were interested in exploring new technologies to achieve this goal, including NFC technology.


          Objectives:

          TransLink's goals were to test the viability of NFC technology for delivering real-time transit information to passengers and to gauge customer sentiment and ease of use. They also wanted to assess their network's potential use cases for NFC technology.

          Challenges:

          TransLink faced several challenges in implementing NFC technology, including assessing the feasibility and practicality of the technology, ensuring a seamless and intuitive user experience for passengers, and analyzing the data generated by the NFC technology.

          Our Solution:

          Entwined partnered with Optus to complete a proof of concept for TransLink, testing the viability of NFC technology in their network. We developed a custom analytics platform to a customized app for installers and ongoing support to route and managed the performance of the software.

          The Result:

          86.47% of customers surveyed said they would consider using NFC technology regularly, and 70.87% said it was straightforward. TransLink awarded Optus and Entwined the tender to roll out NFC technology across the Queensland market based on these positive results. The successful deployment of NFC-enabled bus stops across the Queensland market provided passengers with real-time transit information through their smartphones, leading to a more efficient and convenient transit experience. In addition, the NFC technology demonstrated Entwined's expertise in digital signage and its commitment to exploring new ideas and customized solutions.
