£1.5m Passenger Information Systems purchase order

Journeo plc (AIM: JNEO) a leading provider of information systems and technical services to transport operators and authorities, is pleased to announce it has received a £1.5m purchase order from Swansea Council.

The purchase order is for the manufacture, installation and maintenance of a range of the latest Journeo Thin-Film Transistor (TFT), Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and interactive totem technologies. Approximately 35% of the displays supplied will be Journeo's low-carbon, solar powered TFT in-shelter displays, supporting the authority's drive to achieving Carbon Net Zero by 2050.

Displays will initially be connected to Swansea Council's existing Content Management System (CMS), already supplied by Journeo, until the Transport for Wales (TfW) country-wide Welsh Bus Data Content Management System (WBDCMS) is launched, and authority systems migrated, later in the year.

The order also contains a deliverable of Journeo's innovative 'RTI anywhere' QR code solution, which will enable passengers to scan QR codes situated at more than 500 bus stops with their personal mobile devices, and receive the latest information on departures for the location in visual and audible formats.

The revenues are included in management's expectations of performance for the current financial year and add to the Company's strong order book, providing further future revenue visibility.

Russ Singleton, Chief Executive of Journeo plc, commented,

"We are delighted to see the continued evolution of passenger information estates within Wales, especially Swansea's commitment to delivering information to passengers using low-carbon and no-carbon solutions such as our QR code system. 

The investment in technology now will ensure that Swansea have a display estate compatible with both their current system and the latest industry open standards, ready for the migration to the WBDCMS that we will delivering for TfW over the course of the year."
