NCR technology solution ideal fit for unique airport check-in
experience
DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 27, 2015--
NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), the global leader in consumer transaction
technologies, today announced that Union Pearson Express (UP Express)
has selected the NCR TouchPort 100 check-in solution for three key
stations along the Union to Pearson route to the Toronto Pearson
International Airport. Connecting Toronto Pearson International Airport
with Union Station in downtown Toronto in just 25 minutes, the Union
Pearson Express simplifies how Canada’s busiest airport is linked to
its largest city.
The NCR
TouchPort 100 is an ideal solution for UP Express. The rollout will
support UP Express’s efforts to improve the travelers’ experience as the
NCR solution can be used to check-in while you wait for a train. An
‘all-in-one’ common-use kiosk will allow a customer to check-in, print a
boarding pass, and other airline specific capabilities.
Several factors led to UP Express’s adoption of the solution, including
software integration, ease of use and value. When searching for a modern
check-in system, UP Express looked for one that could adapt to its
environment. UP Express’s key purpose was to provide a convenience to
their customers to avoid waiting in line upon arrival at the airport and
to make it as seamless a process as possible during peak hours for
travelers to quickly check-in.
In addition to improving the travelers’ experience, UP Express also
selected the NCR solution because of its user-friendly interface.
Travelers can use the solution with minimal or no instruction which
enables the platform to deliver instant value to UP Express.
“Travelers increasingly seek out alternatives that will expedite their
check-in experience, and this is especially important in an environment
where time is especially precious,” said Dennis Davidson, vice president
of Travel, NCR Corporation. “NCR has enabled UP Express to deliver an
innovative and convenient check-in experience that will serve travelers
well for years to come.”
