From January 2010, automatic payment for all vehicles on the ferry link Flakk - Rørvik (Fjord1 MRF) in Sør-Trøndelag fylke, Norway was introduced. B&T provides the ferry service with a Back Office System (which enables more efficient transaction processing and customer relations) and associated operational services.

In this system, road users are free to drive directly on board the ferry without buying a ticket at the ferry dock. Payment is made through the use of a transponder (AutoPASS and EasyGo), and the invoice is send to the customer based on a reading of the number plate or delivered onboard the ferry. The price is calculated from the vehicle’s size. This is measured by laser detectors when driving on board.

The Back Office System can easily be connected with other booking systems.
