In the drive to be the number 1 online registration provider for cycling events, we're really pleased to announce the launch of CCN Mobile Solutions TM

CCN provide cycle events with online registration and fundraising solutions. Recently, some of our team have been developing features for on the day payment processing for rider registration, merchandise sales and donations. If you have recently been shopping in an Apple Retail Store then you will have likely experienced something similar already.

When you don't have a wallet full of cash and you're not one of those to carry a cheque book, paying for something at an event with your credit card sometimes involves someone writing down your card information on a piece of paper.  Yikes!!

Event organisers can now be equipped with handheld credit card swiping devices with an integrated bar code scanner that is a wireless extension of their CCN online registration and merchandise store.  These clever scanning and swiping devices cradle an Iphone 4 and can work anywhere with cell coverage or in range of wireless internet.  

Buying merchandise? Making a donation? Or perhaps you're registering on the day or for next year's event? With a swipe of your credit card, you sign the screen and receive email confirmation immediately. It's paperless, secure and fast.

The barcode scanning feature can be utilized for identifying products or matching the sale to an individual rider by the barcode on their wrist band or race plate.

Not only will this make it easier for riders to pay on the day using a secure payment process, it significantly reduces stress and risk for the organizer who is storing credit card information or lots of cash.  A receipt is instantly emailed to the rider confirming their transaction and their transaction history can be viewed when they log in to their CCN account. Cool eh?
