For major events payment intermediaries' costs are often the single most significant cost in payment. It is therefore important to have a model that is transparent, competitive and scalable to the volume of the event.

Intermediaries' costs are the biggest expense - this is why

Each card and mobile payment includes:

• Transaction fee
• Percentage-based payment the amount of the payment
• Possible additional charges for certain cards (e.g. business cards)

In large transactions, where thousands of payments are processed, these costs can easily rise thousands of euros - even if equipment and system costs are low.

Always competitive pricing with Ties

We have highly competitive payment brokerage rates, specifically designed to:

• the volume of major events
• for fast-paced sales
• and cost-effective operations

You get clear prices before the event - no hidden costs, no surprises.

You can use one or two payment intermediaries

We will help you choose the size and nature of your event:

• a single payment intermediary model (simple and efficient)
• or a two-payment intermediary model, which gives privacy and choice and enables cost optimisation.

Low costs and smooth payment

Solmio ensures that:

• get fast settlements
• and sales run smoothly in all conditions

When the cost of payment is under control, improve your margin and increase sales without risk. 

Solmio drink tickets are fully digital eVouchers, which make the distribution, use and control of drink tickets much easier and safer than traditional paper tickets.

Unique QR code - one ticket, many products

Each drink ticket is a personalised and unique QR code, under which one or more products can be associated, such as drinks, VIPs or meals

The code works in real time on all your company's POS terminals.

Instant deployment

Tickets can be shared:

• by email
• On WhatsApp
• Wallet (Apple/Google)
• or in print 

So the visitor can use their drink ticket directly from their phone without paper vouchers.

Real-time access and monitoring

When a drink ticket is used, it is recorded immediately to the Solmio POS system, and you will see:

• how many tickets have been used
• at which point of sale
• and at what time 

No more ambiguities or hand-counted stacks of vouchers.

More sales and a better customer experience

Digital drink tickets make it possible:

• pre-sales in the event's online shop
• additional sales and promotions (e.g. "3 drink tickets €25")
• extension of access rights also in the middle of an event 

Visitors can buy more drink tickets on their way to the event.

Safe and unadulterated

All tickets are unique and traceable and cannot be forged - unlike paper drink tickets 

Solmio's digital drink tickets make distribution, use and tracking easy, fast and secure - while driving additional sales and improving the customer experience.

The most important thing about events is that sales do not stop at any point. That's why we always build our solutions with multiple layers of security - so you can focus on the sale, not the technology.

Critical components are duplicated

We aim to duplicate all key parts of the system. This ensures that a single failure does not stop the entire sale.

Network connection: multiple backups

Each cash register has its own SIM data connection, which acts as an automatic backup connection.

We will also build a private 4G network or a separate wifi network at the venue to ensure that the connection is always as stable as possible.

If one connection fails, the other seamlessly takes over.

Payment intermediation: two payment services as a back-up

We recommend using two different payment intermediaries/payment service providers.

This way, payments will still flow even if there is a disruption in one or the other - sales will not stop at any one service.

POS system: 100 % uptime and offline backup

The Solmio POS system has had a 100 % lifetime since its inception - the system has never had to be shut down.

But we are still prepared for anything:

The cash register can be used offline in case of temporary network failures.

Some payment intermediaries also support instant offline payments

Solmio builds an environment for event and festival sales where sales always continue - no matter what the situation.

Solmio offers a full range of services for event sales integrated inventory management, which makes it easy to keep track of and replenish products, even in a hurry. Everything works together in real time, so sales never come to a sudden halt due to out-of-stocks.

Integrated and automated inventory management

Solmio connects the POS system and the warehouse so that all sales and changes made in a transaction are automatically updated:

• Sales reduce balances in real time
• Product changes are updated directly to the cashier
• Stock balances are always kept up to date at all points

Automatic deliveries and replenishment suggestions

Node can issue replenishment suggestions and create automatic internal deliveries when the balance starts to approach a critical limit. This ensures that:

• Never run out of your favourite products
• Additions made at the right time
• Inventory rotation is kept under control throughout the event

This is particularly useful for large events where several points consume storage at the same time.

Transfers with handheld terminals - quickly and without paperwork

Stock transfers are easy on handheld or mobile devices:

• Browse the stock in real time
• Move between points with a few taps
• See immediately where products are and where they are needed

This speeds up logistics and saves staff time during the event.
