London black cab drivers have never been so...

Our #IoT collaboration with Creative Mobile Technologies (CMT) was not only bound to improve their payment systems, but to improve the experience both for the drivers and the passengers alike. Watch the full video here:

London black cab drivers have never been so...

Creative Mobile Technologies (CMT) was founded in New York in 2005, expanding to the UK in 2012. It provides a smart and reliable card payment solution for taxis, and quickly grew to become the largest provider in London, covering more than one third of the total fleet. Beyond a standard card payment system, CMT’s fixed-front solution combines a card reader with an interactive screen that offers business insights. The company needed to process far larger volumes of data than a simple card reader would need, so CMT turned to Vodafone to provide a connectivity solution.
