FeeMaster Attendant's Console

feemaster attendant's consoleNortime FeeMaster is a simple and cost-effective way of managing car parking access and controlling access validity periods and fees without the need for expensive cabling between components.

As the key component of the FeeMaster Parking Management System, the attendant’s console reads barcode entry tickets, calculates the fees payable based on entry time, parking validity period and stored tariff details. It encodes magnetic stripe access control cards and, if necessary, prints customer receipts and/or barcode exit tokens.

The console may also be connected to a PC to enable transaction records to be analysed and to provide additional tariff management features.
