The disparate nature of Council owned and managed operations calls for a powerful solution to their visitor management needs. Following hotly on from the Luton installation TOR installed a still larger Maxim system at North Lincolnshire Council. Comprising both the latest generation of Maxim On-site and the new release of MaximWeb (TOR’s real-time on-line sales channel) the NLC system will go live at Normanby Hall, North Lincs Museum, 20-21 Arts Centre and the famous Plowright Theatre, which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary. Again, hosted on the Council’s own server for the on-site system and at TOR for the on-line the entire system operates in real-time across a WAN.

TOR Systems Ltd is pleased to announce the installation of its latest Maxim Solution at Luton Borough Council’s prestigious new development at Stockwood Park.
Following a £6m redevelopment project Stockwood Park Museum will shortly reopen as Stockwood Discovery Centre. A new access road, new Visitor Centre and a host of new facilities will enhance the Stockwood experience for all visitors.
At the heart of the new development lies TOR’s Maxim Solution.
Catering particularly for Tours, Educational and Corporate Bookings, Maxim was chosen as the most capable and cost effective solution for the new Discovery Centre.
Maxim was also chosen to enhance the admissions experience at LBC’s Wardown Park Museum and the entire system is now fully operational. Hosted on the museums own server and operating across a WAN entirely in real-time, it is envisaged that the Maxim Solution will be extended into other areas of LBC admissions/bookings activities.

The chosen system will integrate Admissions, Ticketing, Event Management, Educational and Corporate Bookings. Super fast Chip and Pin pay points will be installed on day one and “queue-busting” Wi-Fi tablet PC’s and TOR’s Real-Time Integrated Web Sales Channel are set to follow.
Overall, the project will include a combination of the latest hardware and software systems available. PC based Touch Screen PoS units, equipped with on-screen keyboard facilities, will interface with industry standard BOCA mini printers to issue high quality souvenir tickets to guests arriving at the attraction.

TOR Systems Ltd, the UK’s premier provider of Booking, Ticketing and Admissions Solutions, now in its 27th year of operations, has been chosen to provide its “MaximWeb” ticket sales module to the Imperial War Museum.
Daniel Jordan, Managing Director of the Stoke on Trent based company, announced; “The Imperial War Museum is the first of our clients to install and utilize MaximWeb. This module is a fully integrated, real-time web based sales channel and extends the tried and trusted Maxim Solution into the sphere of web ticketing for the first time.”
Mr. Jordan added; “Clients have a variety of options available in operating MaximWeb from fully hosted, with TOR providing all the fulfillment requirements, to 100% in-house operation. Thus meeting the needs of the entire spectrum of our client base.”
The Imperial War Museum operates out of five museum locations across the UK. It was essential for them to be able to manage both their online and on-site booking and ticketing provision as a single entity.
Says Geraldine Philpott, Head of Financial Controls at the Imperial War Museum: “The MaximWeb system has helped our business grow by ensuring advance ticket sales and forward revenue at a very cost-effective price. The system is fully integrated with our on-site ticketing system, meaning no double entry and no over or under-booking.”
