Card Management System (CMS) Package

Overview

Together with the AMS-HOPS Package, the CMS Package forms the foundation of SAM’s Managed Service. It offers members a fully managed, dependable back-office system for managing customers, cards, and products. It can support a range of smart ticketing schemes, from standard ENCTS concessionary schemes to the most complex commercial schemes.

The SAM CMS covers the full customer life cycle from initial application through card issuance and ongoing management. Our powerful application processing tools allow users to manage entitlement checking with ease. The system supports Hotlisting for lost/stolen cards and has comprehensive renewal management functionality, including usage-based renewal rules to reduce the overhead for ongoing scheme management.

The CMS Package also includes an ENCTS Web Portal, which allows customers to apply for, manage, and renew their passes online. The portal also allows users to self-serve address and photo updates and order and pay for replacement passes.

The CMS Package is fully integrated with the other SAM Managed Service Packages, such as the AMS-HOPS and Web Portal Packages, to provide a best-in-class experience.

As a SAM Member, when purchasing a Managed Service package from us, you are not just getting access to the software from the Supplier, but the support of a team dedicated to ensuring you can get the best out of your integrated smart system – however large or small that may be.
