ZED’s smart ticketing solution ZIG not only enables people to purchase tickets on smartphones but also for the ticket verification at the venue entrances to be fully automated, while their smartphones are still in their pockets. ZIG Smart Ticketing technology enhances public safety at sports games, museums, amusement parks, public transit, and virtually any public place.
In a post-pandemic world, ZIG Smart Venue Ticketing is used for Cashless, queue-less, and contactless ticket purchase and verification using IoT sensors installed at crowded venues. ZIG eliminates ticket lines or manual scanning and verification at the gates.
In addition to ticketing, the ZIG solution can be used for other types of payment at venues, including beverages or concessions purchases. People can place their orders on smartphones and just walk up to a vendor stand. ZIG sensors at the stands automatically process their order for pickup with no line-up.
ZED Digital is based in Columbus OH, USA. Founded in 2005 by Sumithra Jagannath, a driven and passionate entrepreneur, the company first piloted its Internet of Things-based smart ticketing solution in 2018 onboard small regional public transit buses in Ohio. It has since successfully implemented the solution at urban public transit networks as well as museums to manage payment and line-ups related to ticketing and concessions. The Mission of the ZIG Smart Ticketing solution is to enable people to Travel, Places, Safely.
