SkyBus TBPOS is a point-of-sale system for ticketing, built by Unique Micro Design. A one-client bus ticketing system, built in Clayton by an electronics house that has been doing data capture since 1983.
Certified on Linkly, running on premise. Linkly reaches more acquirers than any other middleware in the market, which is why most POS start there.
The Linkly integration runs on premise.
This is not a product anyone can buy. UMD built SkyBus a custom ticketing system — booth sales, internet sales, pre-printed ticket books, single and multi-use tickets, real-time validation on boarding, shift and reconciliation reporting, and integrated EFTPOS with split payments and refunds. It went live on 12 April 2012, cut over overnight. The hardware was a Senor ISPOS rugged touch terminal, a Custom Engineering TK300 ticket printer, a Honeywell Genesis scanner and Casio IT-800 handhelds, with UMD building the metal ticket catchers and the vehicle dock mounting itself. UMD's own names for the software are T-POS and M-POS; "TBPOS" does not appear anywhere in its documentation.
Unique Micro Design was founded in 1983 by Geoffrey and Harry Ramadan and still operates from a single site at Clayton in Melbourne. It is an automatic data capture, RFID and IoT engineering house — it designs and manufactures its own interface electronics under model numbers and distributes forty-odd hardware brands alongside. Its first commercial job, in 1983, was a production monitoring system for tufting machines at Invicta Carpets, and the business has not really changed shape since.
It often builds under someone else's badge, which is exactly why its name turns up against a client-branded product. It supplied 4,500 cash drawers to Australia Post as a subcontractor to Unisys, built the 2011 Cricket World Cup access control in Bangladesh via Honeywell, and runs its VAST ticketing platform at the Melbourne Cup Carnival, the Caulfield Cup, the Royal Melbourne Show and Luna Park Sydney. In July 2017 it extended the SkyBus platform to integrate with Amadeus for corporate travel bookings.
