Case Study: Frontier Payments speeds taxi credit card processing with Livewire Digital's TaxiPass solution

Frontier Payments - Customer Case Study

The startup Frontier Payments faced the challenge of designing and deploying a unique network to enable credit card payments in taxis, a market with no existing model to follow. They needed a solution that could rapidly scale through both kiosks and attended points of sale. To address this, their consulting firm partnered with vendor Livewire Digital, which had the necessary expertise and a proven Transaction Engine software platform.

Livewire developed the Frontier TaxiPass application, utilizing their transaction software and wireless GPRS technology to create portable handheld devices for attendants. This solution allowed for quick credit card pre-authorization and voucher printing within 10 seconds. The successful implementation by Livewire enabled Frontier to plan a rollout across 20 major metropolitan areas, expecting to deploy 300-500 devices to handle 18 million transactions annually.
