Scheidt & Bachmann Background.
The Needham Group was appointed exclusive agents in 2001 having brokered a contract between S&B and Irish Rail for the supply of ticket vending machines (TVMs).
We have played a vital role in S&Bs successful penetration of the UK market, and initially targeting the UK Rail Industry due to its privatization and emphasis on improving revenue protection, S&B has established an installed base of more than 400 ticket vending machines with X of the UK's Train Operating Companies (TOCs).
Recognised internationally as a system solutions provider, S&B develops and manufactures a full range of fare collection systems, from front end user interfaces such as ticket vending machines, gating and smart card validators to back office systems which monitor and control the revenue protection infrastructure.
S&B has an internationally installed base of more than 10,000 ticket vending machines - plus more than 5,000 parking control systems that share many aspects of the same technology. S&B systems have been proven in the most demanding environments all over the world.
