Code Solution
The City Card Operator provides codes for their City Card including add-ons (if needed) to resellers, which can then be redeemed by end customers either through an app as a mobile App-ticket or as a print-at-home ticket in the web shop. Only when a code has been redeemed, it will be invoiced to the reseller on a monthly collective invoice. This variant is ideal for packages, as your guests can already travel with the benefits of the City Card, making it perfect for budget-conscious customers.
The codes can be provided through dynamic generation using the DocLX API Gateway Interface, where codes can be generated dynamically when issuing information for the end consumer. Another option is through an Excel list of codes provided by the system for the different City Cards and a combination of all add-ons (if needed). The reseller can use these codes and forward them to end consumers. This allows for flexibility and convenience for both the City Card Operator and the resellers.

Card “ticket” App
The customer loads the app on the mobile device and can buy the card from the app via the web
shop. Thus, the owner always has his card with him and can let scan and validate the digital card anywhere
with the service partners. If the phone is lost, a new card can simply be issued and loaded onto a new device
due to the digital fingerprint. When purchasing multiple cards, individual cards can be transferred from one
mobile device to another.
In addition, in this app the (if available) tickets of the transport provider are displayed.
Custom add-ons
The concept of DocLX City Card Solutions allows the services provided to be custom tailored with little effort. This means you can segment your services based on the needs of your target customers or, for example, offer your city card as an app for smartphones.
Additional apps
- Voucher APP
The voucher app is usually used by the tourist office to redeem vouchers. The barcode is scanned on the
voucher and the corresponding number of cards is activated with the app. - Partner APP
The partner app is typically used by service partners to redeem benefits. The barcode is scanned on the ticket
and at the same time noted accordingly in the system. As a result, no unwanted multiple redemptions are
possible. - Sales app
With this app can also be issued tickets, so sold. To create the invoice, a separate POS-system must be
available.
