Multi-channel, multi-mode
Kizoom's proven technology platform makes it easy for Public Transport operators to provide information to their passengers over multiple delivery channels. Kizoom uses standards-based interfaces to connect to Transport Operators' existing information systems, e.g. Journey Planners, Incident Information, etc.
SMS texting is by far the most commonly used mobile data service.
Kizoom has developed a set of products which allow users to text their enquiries - such as journey planning and realtime departure boards - to a short code number and receive a texted reply. Kizoom has also developed services which allow users to send 'hard' copies of internet journey planning enquiries to their phones using text.
Public Transport information has become one of the most popular uses of the mobile internet (aka WAP).
Kizoom has been at the forefront of development in this sector, launching the world's first WAP journey planner, auto-location lookup sensing, and personalised services. Kizoom now operates more than 40 live mobile internet Travel information services for our customers.
The most useful information that a transport operator can provide to its commuter customers is an alert when a regular journey will be disrupted.
Kizoom has developed a set of services for our Transport Operator customers which allow commuters to register their routes, and be alerted by SMS text or email when a change or event is likely to affect their journey.
Mobile phone operators understand that providing their customers with useful mobile internet services is an important and growing part of their business.
Kizoom provides a Portal-optimised set of traveller information services which can be configured to match the Portal's branding, personalisation, location-sensing and billing requirements.
As Local Government and Public Transport operators improve the information services available via the internet, it is a logical extension to make this same information available to travellers on the street.
Kiosk interfaces are optimised for touch-screen access and 'starting from here' use.
As Wifi, GPRS, and 3G networks become ubiquitous, and mobile phones and PDAs converge, services for high-performance mobile internet devices have become more popular.
Kizoom has led the field in developing services optimised for smaller factors, including a Journey Planner for Transport for London.
The growth of interactive digital TV services is an example of the growing variety of channels over which travellers can now access journey planning and realtime information.
Kizoom's technology platform makes it straightforward and economic for transport operators to add new information delivery channels as they emerge.
