For Amos Tamam, formulating solutions for the taxi fleet industry is a driving force in his life. From his earlier work repairing cabs, to working on taximeters and systems, through to developing credit card payment of cab fares, his experiences in the industry are rich ones. His dedication to the industry continues today.

Amos Tamam has come a long way, literally and figuratively, since completing his electrical engineering training at Tel Aviv University. Arriving in the United States in the early ’80s, he proceeded to gain employment repairing taxis in a fleet garage in New York City. This introduction to the taxi industry was all the catalyst he needed to push his career forward.

Today, he is the Chief Executive Officer of Verifone Transportation Systems, Inc. Amos Tamam’s knowledge of taxi cabs: repairing them, taxi meters, fleet management, and fuel management give him a well-rounded view of the troubles fleet owners endure. This knowledge and understanding led him to spearhead the development of a wireless technology for processing credit cards to pay cab fares. Verifone provides the technology and systems that enable taxis to accept credit card payments.

The system offered ensures a cab driver no longer has to keep large sums of cash on hand. This deters robbery and theft in the cab environment. This is one facet of what Verifone Transportation Systems, Inc. provides fleet owners. The Company’s solutions deliver mobile payment, navigation, dispatch, text messaging, and real-time information delivery capabilities to fleets. Verifone’s focus is cost effective strategies for managing and controlling fleet and mobile payment acceptance operations.

Through Verifone Transportation Systems, Inc. Amos Tamam continues his technological innovations. The Company is the first manufacturer to pioneer and deliver the first integrated, taximeter based mobile card processing system. They are not resting on their laurels, as they continually originate methods to serve their taxi fleet customers better.
