Barcoding Inc., a leader in enterprise-wide mobility systems, today announced that it has launched a customized mobile ticket scanning application for Baltimore-based Mission Media, LLC's sister company, MissionTix.com, an online ticketing service for buying and selling tickets for concerts, performances, fairs and other local events. Created with Barcoding's CaptureSoft™ eXpress software platform, the application allows venues to use handheld devices to scan and process a barcode from both printed tickets and tickets displayed on a mobile device, such as a smartphone.
Now, ticket holders no longer need to print a ticket if they have a mobile device with Internet access. A concertgoer could buy a ticket en route to a performance, and present the e-ticket displayed on their phone for admission. In addition, with Barcoding's customized application, handheld scanners are able to recognize the ticket's electronic barcode from a screen while simultaneously tracking admitted tickets in real-time by communicating with other handhelds in the venue's system.
Barcoding's application will debut in June for the first time at the Recher Theatre in Towson, Md.
Developed by Barcoding, CaptureSoft eXpress is a fully customizable web-based, wireless development platform used to meet specific business needs. Introduced in February 2009, the solution has been used to build cutting-edge inventory control, shipment tracking and remote management solutions for a wide range of companies within industries such as materials handling, logistics, manufacturing and retail.
Joe Loverde, owner of Mission Media and MissionTix, said, "At MissionTix, we believe that barcoding and the use of mobile e-tickets is revolutionizing the entertainment industry and event admissions. With that in mind, we were looking for a customized solution that would easily integrate with MissionTix's existing system, and Barcoding was able to use CaptureSoft to meet our needs. Additionally, implementing the application was seamless, and Barcoding readily provided in-person, expert assistance."
Carin Weiss, mid-Atlantic enterprise account manager, Barcoding, commented, "Working with Mission Media is a great opportunity and we are excited to play a key role in the advancement of e-ticket scanning. We look forward to seeing how our software makes the admission process more convenient for both event attendees and staff."
