More than 605 million trips are taken on Victoria’s public transport network annually and 35% of these are taken by concession card holders, including students, retirees, veterans, and those with disabilities.
HCLTech will develop and support a Concessions Entitlement Validation Platform (CEVP) for the department, enabling instant proof of concession entitlement and a passenger interface to apply for and manage concession entitlement. This will improve experiences for both passengers and the department staff, said HCLTech.
The linking of credit cards with concession cards, enabled by the CEVP, will be a nation-first. This feature will provide payment flexibility for concession card holders.
HCLTech will deploy digital workflow orchestration solutions and leverage agile development approaches to roll out the CEVP across Victoria. The company will also provide maintenance and customer center support as well as training for the Department of Transport and Planning employees.
“Over one in three Victorians travel on a concession card and some of them are among the most vulnerable in the community. HCLTech knows that it is important to get this right, using technology to support this cohort while also unlocking business value,” said Michael Horton, executive vice president and country manager, Australia and New Zealand, HCLTech.
