Vending

Driving Efficiency

Role of Metering and Software Solutions

Prepayment Online Vending Solutions is composed of three main components: the Online Vending System, Online Vending Clients, and the Hardware Security Module (HSM).

  • Online Vending System

    Serving as the core of the solution, the Online Vending System enables real-time token purchases. It generates HSM-encrypted tokens using the secure Standard Transfer Specification (STS) protocol and dispatches these tokens to the Online Vending Client.

  • Hardware Security Module (HSM)

    This component is integral to ensuring the security of the token generation process, providing encryption in line with the STS protocol. In practice, when a customer buys a prepaid token from an Online Vending Client, they receive a secure token that can be entered into their prepaid meter, enabling them to use the purchased amount of electricity/water/gas units.

  • Online Vending Clients

    These clients are distributed nationwide and connect to the Online Vending System. When a customer initiates a purchase, the Online Vending Client requests a token from the Online Vending System. The system then creates the token and sends the data back to the client. The client, in turn, issues the token to the customer
