Palisis becomes CitySightseeing official supplier

Palisis AG, based in Zurich, from now on will assist all operations of its new customer to increase profits, reduce costs and therefore equip the franchise and its licensees with an integrated sales channel management solution integration on-site, on-line and partner sales. The Swiss start-up is highly recommended by City Sightseeing Worldwide. Group CEO, Enrique Ybarra said: “Palisis have developed some of the best on-street ticketing systems I have seen. The level of flexibility within the management tools is ideal for both small and large operations”.

Palisis is Europe’s leading provider of innovative sales management solutions for the tourism and transport sector. The Palisis InstantTicketing portable ticket terminal enables sales staff to sell and print tickets anywhere – it also checks the validity of tickets using a built-in barcode scanner. Users of InstantTicketing can also tell, immediately, where and at what time a salesperson has sold a ticket with real time reconciliation over cellular GSM. The system simplifies the whole sales process, allowing ticket sellers to serve customers more quickly, efficiently and professionally. The back-office management tools are flexible enough to allow immediate changes to ticket prices and availability – ideal for yield selling.

Palisis was found in 2008 and was awarded with the CTI Start-up Label in 2010.

CitySightseeing Worldwide is the world’s leading city tour bus company. It was formed in 1998, and their very first tour, in Seville, is still going strong. From just 4 tours in 2000 to 95+ for 2012, the bright red, cheerful buses are now a well-known sight in many of the cities around the world.
