The challenge
With a growing network, Payzone recognised they needed a long term technology partner to support, maintain and enhance the infrastructure and architecture of their system and applications. This would ensure their systems scaled with them as they grew, utilising technology to ensure they maintained their competitive edge and met their customer needs.
The solution
To understand Payzone’s systems and future requirements, Geeks Ltd conducted a short series of Solution Design workshops. Using VisualSpec™, our interactive and award-winning prototyping tool, we helped them to elaborate on their needs, experiment with different design ideas and get feedback from other stakeholders.
Whilst maintaining and upgrading key services and products from their legacy terminal, Geeks also worked with Payzone to develop new product and service offerings for their customers. This included a Payment Terminal system, Smart Metering system, and Smart Ticketing and Paper Bus Ticketing system.
By partnering with Geeks, Payzone was able to scale up and down their team in a rapid and flexible manner to be able to meet client deadlines and take advantage of more opportunities to increase their market share.
Our development process improved the code base and testing procedures and has received great feedback from both clients and customers. We also collaboratively added new services and products for numerous suppliers to improve customer satisfaction and choice.
