Software

The hardware is one part of the system.

We also develop the software that connects customers, operators, payment and machines — as far as the installation needs it to go.

01

Software around the installation

Two things face a customer, and a few more face the operator. Which of them a site uses depends on what it is running.

  • What the customer touches

    A payment station screen, a phone, or a card at the terminal. The interface is chosen with the site, not fixed by us.

  • What the operator manages

    Accounts, cards, settings and follow-up, through the tools that installation supports.

  • What runs on the terminal

    The payment and control software in a VeMatics station is ours, which is what lets it talk to the machines behind it.

  • What is not ours

    Card schemes, bank and acquirer infrastructure, and the firmware of a third-party payment terminal. Those stay with the parties that own them.

02

TikWash — mobile payment

A mobile payment solution for your customers. It can run a site on its own, or sit alongside a central VeMatics system.

  • Runs without a central kiosk

    A laundromat or car wash can use TikWash as its payment method without a central station on site.

  • Two ways to install it

    Wireless through the TBL100, or wired through the TikWash Box. Both are VeMatics units and both run the same product.

  • Integrated from the CP200 upward

    Where a site already has a central VeMatics system from the CP200 upward, TikWash is integrated as standard, with a transaction fee when customers use it.

  • Published as a real app

    Customers install it from the App Store and Google Play, published by Vema Projects.

03

VemaCard — card and account payment

A physical payment card with an account, a portal and invoicing behind it. It is a card product, not an app.

  • It works through a Payter terminal

    The card is used on a Payter payment terminal, through integration software we developed — in a station, where one is fitted. No separate dedicated scanner is added for it.

  • Cards, balances and limits from one portal

    An operator issues cards and manages balances and limits for the accounts on their own site.

  • Automatic invoicing

    Account use is invoiced automatically, which is what makes it workable for business customers.

  • Not tied to one sector

    It is in use for laundry and car wash today. The card-and-account principle is not specific to either.

04

Operator and remote tools

What an operator can see and change from away depends on the installation. These are the capabilities a site can have, not a list every system carries.

  • Remote management

    Where the installation supports it, a system can be reached and managed without a visit to the site.

  • Follow-up on what the site is doing

    Where supported, an operator can see how their system is being used rather than having to be there.

  • Settings and configuration

    Depending on the system, settings such as prices and programme options can be changed without swapping hardware.

  • Accounts and cards

    Where a site uses VemaCard, the accounts, cards and invoicing behind it are managed from its portal.

Which of these a system actually has is decided by what is installed on the site. We would rather tell you that than describe a system you do not have.

05

Built together with the hardware

The electronics, the terminal software and the machine control are engineered by the same team, and that is what changes in practice.

  • Payment does not stop at the terminal

    The point of a payment is a machine that starts. Because we write the terminal software, the step from payment to machine action is ours to engineer.

  • Machine integration is part of the system

    The interface to the equipment is designed with the site, not assumed from a datasheet.

  • Changes go to the team that built it

    An integration question does not have to travel through a supplier chain before it reaches someone who can answer it.
