SmartStop's SmartCard

In conjunction with OTI, a world leader in smart card technology, SmartStop is launching the nation’s first multi-application smart card for the trucking industry—offering fleets and drivers benefits throughout SmartStop-affiliated truckstops while bringing the truckstop operator a new revenue opportunity. Future smart card products will create additional benefits for truck stops, including: Integrated identification, access, purchase and loyalty functionality on a single card. A decrease in administrative costs due to reduced handling of currency by moving to smart card stored value purchases. New product opportunities to increase customer loyalty, decrease costs or increase commission revenues. Future smart card products will create additional benefits for drivers by: Providing a single cash replacement card for business and personal purchases at SmartStop locations. Multiple loyalty programs. The multi-application feature of the smart card will allow drivers to accumulate loyalty and merit rewards as they make smart card purchases at SmartStop locations. Instant benefits such as redemption of points. Future smart card products will create additional benefits for fleets by: Integrating the cash and information needs of fleets and drivers in a single, easy to use card. Better managing and controlling both business and personal expenses, including expenditures for telephony, fuel and other purchases. Receiving low-cost ‘check-in’ calls from SmartStop locations providing information such as driver identification, location and call time. Reducing certain transaction fees. Enabling flexible benefits such as personal phone credits or other smart card stored values to enhance driver retention -- a key pressure point in the current trucking market. Reduced wear and tear on card with RF technology. Upload and download information remotely to the smart card.
