IoT Horizon – MPWR : Track for Safer Workplaces IoT Horizon’s MPWR:Track Solution provides a digital and automated approach to track and control the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace. Employees and visitors can be issued with a device that alerts and encourages a safe and social distance. With many organisations manually recording COVID-19 cases, it is difficult to alert other employees at risk. The MPWR:Track Solution logs all interactions between employees for 14 days. This data can then be used to identify social distancing policy breaches and automate contact tracing, so that businesses can make informed decisions on the threat to their employees.

Repay Solutions Ltd – Automated Refund Platform The Automated Refund Platform (APR) is a first of a kind rail solution that automates the ticket refund process and enables train operators to remotely receive refund applications, saving customers a trip to the station. Customers submit refunds through an intuitive webform which uses real-time ticket validation, making it quick and easy to submit a refund. Refunds are calculated automatically with a visual inspection before being approved or rejected. For the few that require extra support, this can be handled through the platform. APR supports all ticket types and sales channels, including uncollected tickets and refund rules (important during COVID-19). Customers are kept informed on the progress of their refund via email and SMS notifications and a live status page. Payments are then processed back to the original payment method and reconciled with LENNON and GoldSTAR. As a result, the APR reduces the time to process a refund from days or even weeks to hours and enhances the customer experience.
