Our Story

ember-studio was established with a clear purpose: to provide transport operators with reliable, responsive maintenance services for their ticket vending infrastructure. Our founders, having worked within the transport industry for over two decades, understood the operational challenges posed by equipment failures.

We started as a small team of three engineers in 2011, responding to the growing need for specialist TVM support as transport networks expanded their automated fare collection systems. Today, we maintain equipment across multiple regions, though our commitment to personal service remains unchanged.

Every machine we service represents passengers who need to purchase tickets quickly and reliably. This understanding drives our approach to every job, whether routine maintenance or emergency repair.

Our Team

Our engineering team combines decades of collective experience in electromechanical systems, embedded software, and payment technologies. Each technician holds relevant certifications and undergoes background checks appropriate for working in transport environments.

Beyond technical skills, we hire for attitude. Working on busy station concourses requires patience, professionalism, and the ability to work efficiently while remaining mindful of the public environment.

Our support staff coordinate scheduling, source parts, and ensure engineers have everything they need before arriving on-site. This preparation reduces job times and improves first-time fix rates.
