myPOS Glass is an innovative Soft POS that can turn Android phones, which support NFC technology, into a POS terminal without the need for additional hardware. Through the solution, Samsung will equip ÖBB conductors with an Android device and thus let passengers buy tickets directly from staff on the train.
Additionally, the myPOS Glass app will be used in the future with Newrest’s rail catering services. As a result, passengers will be able to pay aboard by using cards and smart devices while the catering team won’t need to change POS terminals when crossing borders as myPOS Glass is a cross-border solution.
The new partnership is part of ÖBB’s initiative to give a Samsung X-Cover smartphone to its employees working and travelling across eight countries: Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, France, and Croatia. Thanks to myPOS Glass and Samsung, ÖBB will be able to offer tickets, while also equipping employees with the tools they need to create customer service.
