Journeo plc
("Journeo" or "the Group")
Transforming Cities Fund £1.9m order
Journeo plc (AIM: JNEO), the information systems and transport technical services group, is pleased to report that further to the announcement on 10 December 2019 regarding Transforming Cities Fund (TCF) framework contracts, it has now received an order for the supply of its advanced Passenger Information Systems and software for a transport partnership comprised of four local authority customers.
The order valued at £1.9m, of which £1.5m is expected to be delivered and recognised in the current financial year, includes the supply of a range of displays technology and powerful (CMS) content management software. The partnership will have full control of real-time departure information and associated disruption messaging throughout the region.
The CMS software developed in-house also provides the transport partnership with ability to display rich media content, such as advertising, promotions and public service messaging.
Russ Singleton, Chief Executive for Journeo™ PLC, commented: "We are delighted to be working with this transport partnership as they begin to transform their cities and regional public transport infrastructure. We work closely with our customers and have spent a great deal of time developing enhancements to both the displays and our CMS to ensure that the displays benefit from being connected to the IoT. That includes the accurate distribution of disruption messaging and updates on display estate health, which are crucial to encouraging members of the public to use public transport as congestion and the challenge of moving people to centres of economic benefit grows."
A digital copy of this announcement will be available on the Groups' website: www.journeo.com.
