- The distributor scans the assigned tickets with our app before selling them (it does not require a username and password to log in to the app), and they would already appear as sold in the system. Besides, at this time you can collect data from the assistant. This scan does not affect the access validation system to the subsequent event.
- The system for assigning electronic tickets to distributors is very simple to do. Simply indicate in your administrator intranet, for the ticket category to assign, the ticket number you want to add to the distributor. The assignment is immediate, and the distributor, in his intranet, you can send the ticket to the assistant by email, sms or whatsapp.

Establishment of access control points
All the tickets and cards that you generate with bikubo can have a QR or a barcode enabled, to serve as an individualized access control element.
Our access control system allows a very parameterizable configuration, which allows to adapt to many of the needs of our customers. A series of functionalities that we offer are described below:
- You can add for each festival, as many checkpoints as you need, and select for each ticket category, if you have access to each added checkpoint. Examples of checkpoints can be: Gate A, VIP area, bus, consumption at the bar,... Thus, you can establish for a VIP Category, that the tickets associated with it, can be validated your access in the VIP area, bus and a drink at the bar.
- For each control point there are different parameters that we allow to configure: the number maximum validations allowed, set validation dates allowed, as well as time slots, and you can also set invalid validation dates.
- The option to allow or deny validation at a checkpoint is also enabled, whether or not certain access validation conditions are met at other control points. For example, disallow validation of a drink at the bar if access to door A has not been validated before. Another example could be, not allowing validation of access at gate B, if it has been validated before at gate A.
- Another configuration of the access validations is to consider the sum of the validations by groups, in such a way that a maximum number of groups can be allowed. For example, if there are 5 access doors to an event, access can be enabled users for the 5 doors, and configure that only one validation is allowed for all of them.
- It is possible to configure validation of checkpoints, such as input and output. This will allow you to control the capacity at all times. If you select the input validation option, and there is someone already inside with the QR, the system will show an error indicating this detail, and if you select the exit validation option, and there is someone outside with the QR, the system will also show an error indicating this detail.
- You can view the number of validations performed at any time, for each point of control. You can also share a link in case you need more people to be aware of this data.

We adapt to the different situations that may arise, especially in terms of the number of attendees there may be for a festival and the internet coverage conditions for access validation. Therefore, you have validate the access of attendees with bikubo, from different control systems.
- First of all, a first app is uploaded to the Android and iOS repositories, which allows you to use the camera of the mobile devices to read the QR code. It is a very simple and fast solution. On the administrator's intranet there is a username and password, and with the user login, you can start scanning the attendees.
- Secondly, we have another app uploaded to the Android and iOS repositories, which allows you to connect barcode or QR code readers via bluetooth, and a very fast reading is achieved that is very useful for events that have a high turnout of attendees, and helps prevent the formation of large queues. With this system you have a professional reading device at a very affordable price.
- Thirdly you can open a web link in a browser on a computer (you get on the administrator's intranet), and that after pairing barcode or QR readers via Bluetooth or cable, very fast reading. It is also very useful for events that have a high influx of attendees.
- If you have access turnstiles at your festival, or you want us to install them, we can also set up access for you so that they can check the access against our databases.
- An important aspect is that you can control the access of attendees to your event, with or without internet connection. To work without an internet connection, the tickets are previously downloaded to the database controller device, by pressing a simple button at some point when you have a connection, and the rest of the time, you will be able to work without an internet connection.
Collection of information from attendees at checkpoints
Sometimes it may be necessary for a checkpoint to collect certain information from the wizard. For example, in a marathon race, during the bib delivery it may be interesting to collect information from each athlete to take into account later (such as a medical questionnaire and collecting the athlete's signature).
Then, at that checkpoint, when the athlete was scanned, the form would be displayed on the tablet or mobile, and would fill in the data. The administrator will be able to download all the collected data.
